Walls and Furniture Sprouting Throbbing Cocks – A Fan Favorite!
The core setting of "SDDE-565" essentially turns an ordinary office into something like the Matrix from "The Matrix." The walls, desks, and chairs—these everyday objects suddenly "bloom" with some indescribable "surprises," while the OL staff face it all with the same cool composure as Neo, as if saying, "This is the Matrix, baby!" This absurd creativity reminds me of the chaotic scenes in "Akira" with Neo Tokyo—when the everyday environment turns surreal and order collapses in an instant, yet it's strangely captivating!
This "wall hole" concept is another wild exploration of "other spaces" in the AV world. Similar tropes have been played with in "SOD's" "SDDE-623" "Transparent Human" series, always turning everyday scenes into something like the doors in "Monsters, Inc.," where weird stuff pops out at any moment. Borrowing the classic line from "Blade Runner": "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." The wall hole spectacle in this film is like tears in the rain—fleeting yet unforgettable, truly a sci-fi poem in the AV realm!
Director "Makoto Kimura" employs cinematography in this film that's like a mash-up of Hayao Miyazaki and Marvel. The opening office scene, with the keyboard clacks and coffee machine gurgles, is as detailed and realistic as the bathhouse in "Spirited Away" where Chihiro works. But when the "wall holes" appear and the OLs handle them with such poise, it's like Loki opening a wormhole in "The Avengers," instantly ramping up the pace to a climax! These 43 "highlight moments" each pack the explosive energy of Luffy shouting "I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!" in "One Piece," full of burst and humor without losing its charm.
This "dead serious chaos" humor reminds me of that classic line from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail": "It's just a flesh wound!" The OLs' nonchalant attitude toward the wall holes is like the Black Knight stubbornly denying his injuries after losing an arm—utterly ridiculous yet infused with a sense of professional dedication that makes you chuckle.
Why did this film blow up in Japan? The answer lies in Japanese workplace culture. OLs are usually crushed under the weight of overtime and hierarchy, much like Shinji Ikari in "Neon Genesis Evangelion," burdened with piloting EVA units. "SDDE-565" uses its exaggerated wall hole setup as an escape from reality, as if saying, "Since real life sucks so bad, let's dive into some crazy fantasies!" This echoes the struggles in "EVA," where humanity fights angels for redemption amid despair.
On a deeper level, this film subtly touches on gender issues. The OLs tackle the "wall hole challenges" with professional demeanor, seemingly subverting traditional female stereotypes, yet they're still confined within certain clichés. This makes me think of Madoka's line in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica": "I don't want to have any regrets." Is the OLs' "dedicated" performance a metaphor for compromising with reality? This contradiction is worth pondering for a couple of seconds, even while you're munching on sunflower seeds.
