Movie • 2009 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
The story of a teenage boy named Yu, who falls for Yoko, a girl he runs into while working as an "up-skirt" photographer in an offshoot of the porn industry. His attempts to woo her are complicated by a spot of cross-dressing - which convinces Yoko that she is lesbian - dalliances with kung-fu and crime, and a constant struggle with the guilt that's a legacy of his Catholic upbringing.

While one character is being beaten by her father, he kicks and steps on her bird's cage (with the animal inside). The bird is seem alive right before but when the violent turns to it you can notice that its a fake stiff bird. Still pretty sad.

Tho the two main characters are teenagers, one of them (Yu) sexualizes the other (Yoko). The film has this theme of the relation between love and sexual desire taken to the extreme, and so there's lots of sexualization from the perspective of a teenager.

That's a big part of the movie. Mostly, the main villain was abused as a child and became kind of insane and sociopathic. She abuses, hurts and manipulates almost all the other characters.

Depends on how you interpret it.
A character has a psychotic episode in which he thinks he's the female protagonist of a movie. A girl desperately tries to bring him back to his senses by calling him by his "deadname". He later heals.
