I didn't like the ending (spoilers)


I felt sorry for that guy. He didn't really do anything all that bad. It was his friends that raped her. And she kinda deserved the picture taking. She was a psycho, and was practically stalking him. It wasn't fair how it turned out.

What do you mean he didn't do anything all that bad? He sat back and did nothing while his friends raped her and he was the one who set the whole thing up and let it get out of hand in the first place.

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!

He was a jerk and a coward; he had it coming but his friends REALLY got messed up!

"I told ya I was trouble...you know that I'm no good."

That's his BOYFRIEND. Can you imagine your boyfriend drugged you to take naked pictures of you then LET his best friends gang rape you?

& the fact that her being a psycho is still questionable. Even if she really was, there are so many other legal ways to deal with situations like this.

reply

Agreed with Luly. He was the worst. He drugs her, lets his friends rape her, takes pictures and presents a completely different persona to his wife, thus deceiving her to. The guy was a coward, a pig and a criminal. And if she was really a psycho why didn't he just call the police? Luly is right, when someone is stalking you, you handle it legally. At least the wife had the good sense to leave him in the end.

If Megumi was a psycho, then Ben was double the psycho. What normal person would set up someone they supposedly cared about like that? I think what horrified Jane was how cold and cruel he was. She probably thought to herself, if I ever make him angry and he wants to divorce me, would he set me up like that too?

Oh please, even though his friends raped her, he was still partially involved in the mess. It was good enough to see that the ghost killed all of his friends and make him suffer in mental hospital for the rest of his life.

Cops really need to do something about people like this. More crackdown operations all the way

Let the world change the punishment for sexual-related crimes to execution

You're right, it wasn't fair; he was basically lobotomized so he could not face trial, conviction, and sentence for his crime.

Apart from all the moral, emotional, and just plain human things wrong with what he did, just look at the legal point of view: He knew it was happening/going to happen and did nothing to stop it... that could be charged as depraved indifference and/or accessory to rape. He is the one who actually gave her the drugged wine... that could be charged as criminal facilitation and/or conspiracy to commit rape.

He may not have known it was going to go that far but he drugged her, and once he saw what was going on he did nothing to stop it... he was a just as responsible.

He didn't do anything all that bad? He just sat there while his friends raped her. She was calling out to him, but he did nothing. He deserved what he got. Even though he didn't take part in it he is still just as bad as his friends. He is just as guilty as they are. He did nothing so in my opinion that is just as bad.

i dont get it whats it with most people , that want the movie to end in justice, and something fair to happen. Life isnt fair. Even if you think it was unfair for him to end up there, doesnt mean that the movie has to show it, or that you are going to be dissapointed if you dont see him do justice, or that the movie even suggests that THIS IS what fairly should have happened to him.
Its just a way the events turned out. Fair or unfair. Its just a story, its not justice. How can you be dissapointed with not watching what you think its fair for him?

Ben got what was coming to him
