So what's your interpretation of the ending?

1. I didn't say 'ever seen' I said in the last 10 years - and I might have been exaggerating.
2. I'm not lifting my computer and I don't play guitar.
3. It's 'you' or 'u', get 'off the fence' (give it a moment you'll see what I did there) and a make a decision already. You can't use both. Especially in the same sentence.
4. It's offense. (In case you didn't see what I did there) None taken.
5. STFU - no offense.

One of the things about it right from the beginning, there's this sense of a musical background ambience to the sounds. It's presence kind of ebbs and flows into the foreground in parts and it creates a crazy tension. It reminds me of acts like The Orb or Pink Floyd. Crazy thing is how he mixes it with the background noises that are native to Tokyo. If you've been there you instantly recognize it. It also has a musical background because of the constant chatter or media like digital displays, storefronts with P.A.'s, and other kinds of musically-themed advertising onslaughts. It's evident when he's tripping on DMT, or especially when he's walking down the stairs from his apartment and up the stair to the Void. It worked well with the first person perspective cinematography. It really starts to take off when he dies.

You guys watched Irreversible, I stand alone or Carne?

Different kind of flick, but IMO much better than Ichi. I've already gone back and rewatched it a couple of times. Once was enough for Ichi, IMO.
