In the future, human feces will become the only viable source of energy.

A few weeks ago some of my friends were tellling me about this crazy Korean movie they just watched that involved a dark future where the only viable source of energy was human feces. At first, it sounded too ridiculous to be true. However because of all of the weird “shit” (no pun intended) that, for some unknown reason, always crosses my path, I knew that I was destined to watch Aachi and Ssipak. And after watching it, I would post on the internet about it because it’s pretty much the only form of social interaction I have. From wikipedia:

In the future, all energy sources are depleted, except human excrement. To reward production, people are awarded addictive treats: Juicybars. Aachi and Ssipak are street hoodlums who struggle to survive by trading black market Juicybars. Through a chain of events involving their porn-director acquaintance Jimmy the Freak, they meet wannabe-actress Beautiful, whose defecations are rewarded by exceptional quantities of Juicybars. For that reason, Beautiful is also wanted by the violent blue mutants known as the Diaper Gang (led by the Diaper King), the police (most notably the cyborg police officer Geko), and others.

I honestly don’t know how I could follow up that wikipedia summation, but I’ll try. I can’t stop thinking about how fucked up this movie is and there is absolutely no way I could write up a review that would do this movie justice. Just pick up a copy and watch it. It really is good and despite it’s subject matter, you won’t have to sit through long scat scenes. Now for some quick thoughts about the movie:

+ I can’t stop thinking about the Diaper Gang. They’re kind of a cross between the Smurfs, Pikmin, and… uh… something else. Just they way they talk and the acted is really eerie. Also, what’s up with the iron plates covering their genitalia?

+ The Geko/Diaper Gang fight scenes are some of the best animated sequences ever. I would wait and watch it in movie, but if you can’t, here’s a preview.

+ I hope that there will be a prequel centered around Jimmy the pornographer. How could you not like a black man with dsl’s like that? I really didn’t understand what the hell was going on for most of the movie, but I felt a kindred spirit with Jimmy. He also has great ideas for movies and I think the two of us could revolutionize the adult film industry.

+ I didn’t like the main heroine of the film, Beautiful. Especially after what they did to her anus. By the way, is there some unspoken Korean obsession with shit that I don’t know about? I thought it couldn’t get any weirder than Doggy Poo, but I was obviously wrong.

Score: 8.0
