    Hey I just watched Ichi the Killer and all I can say is "What the hell is going on?". Many people said that it was a fantastic film but I can find no other reason than that it is really really gorey. Could someone please explain what I am missing out on in this film and if it needs multiple viewings to gather it all together?

    That's a hard question to answer, as I don't really know what you seem to be missing out on here, or what you didn't get.

    But, to be quite honest, half the fun in the film is trying to work out your own idea of WTF did indeed happen!? So giving you my take on it would kinda spoil it. But if you're just wondering about the ending, then
    When Kakihara went to deafen himself, I think he pretty much lobotomised himself, and imagined his "Challenge Match" with Ichi, as you see him kinda lying with his mouth gaping like he's brain-dead after he was supposedly killed.

    I don't mean to be patronising, but I would suggest watching it again if you think it's a good story, or the characters are interesting. I've watched it plenty of times already myself, and there's usually "Something" more I'd pick up on the first couple of times re-watching it.

    Though, if you really want me to spoiler the hell out of it with my own interpretations, then be a little more specific on the parts you didn't get.
