No,there are no pink aspects to the film . Why do you think pink films are so big there ? It's part of the culture from way back,but there's no pink in this.
It just shows how it works. Women were fodder and for barter . Even now,you never...EVER discuss a man's business with him .
Business is for the men .
There are some business women ,but they are few and far between ,and some are where they are,because of yakuza ties .
Daughters of bosses etc.
Its basically a brothel boss ,and how he works. Hes an under boss as well ..
So it shows how women are bought,regarded , and used .
There are a series of films about girl gangs,and one with yakuza wives (decades before this reality Mob wives crap)
I can look up some of the names if you want.
There are also Japanese torture movies .
Like how the shogun tortured people.
Brutal.seriously.
Waterboarding ain't got nothin on this stuff.
But ,know what is one of my faves ....which does have pinky aspects,but its hysterical ,the Hanzo the Razor series.
There are three . Same guy from lone wolf and cub series . Awesome .
There's much much more to j cinema than jidaigeki and samurai .
There a series of a god statue that comes to life. Overtones about Christianity ....Daimajin .I like him too .
