Plot – Spoilers:
Tatsuo is contemplating marrying his girlfriend and on the lookout for a better-paying job. He joins the Yakuza and soon even gets to have his own little gang. But being a bit of an asshole, the small crime doesn’t quite do it for Tatsuo and he soon takes to raping girls around town. On one occasion, the rape and torture goes on for weeks and the gang loses all touch with what they’re up to.
Concrete is based on the real case of Junko Furuta, where many people including the bullied parents of some of the gang members were aware of what was going on and on.
very very hard and sad movie…based on a true story…..wow 🙁
thank you!
regrads
I’ve been waiting for this movie to be uploaded here. Thanks so much♥️
Thanks
I would’ve given a better rating if the whole movie was like the last 20 minutes. I was expecting an excessively vile movie. Sorry if i sound like a sick bitch but like- that’s kinda the point if you’re making a movie about a case as horrifying as junko furutas. To paint how disturbing it was and demenstate the level of human cruelty. This girl suffered 44 days of torture to the point of BEGGING to be murdered, her entire body was destroyed. this was not only beyond tame for such a thing, it took forever for anything to happen.
I felt the same when I watched An American Crime after reading about Sylvia Likens. Anyways, is anyone gonna upload the 1995 version about Junko?
Where can I find it?
So is that the Indian version cause if it is I will tell you dont waste or even bother loosing time on it ????it was crazy wack.!!!
This one is pretty rough.
Hard to believe the real crime was even worse.
In reality, the poor girl was not just raped by the boys but also by hundreds of men in the basement as well.
An even sadder thing to consider y’all is that none of those little fucks got what they deserved. But they did get extra time added when they went to a Judge to see if they could get their sentences lowered…(LOL!) Japs are still very big on that honor stuff and if you bring shame on them in the eyes of the rest of the world, you will be made aware of it in no uncertain terms! The Japanese authorities wanted to punish Issei Sagawa (Cannibal killer turned author & celebrity) for the dishonor he brought on them. But they could… Read more »
so many people saying its hard to watch this movie, maybe everybady is getting weak cause i didnt thought this movie so strong
Well obviously, if you don’t want your movie to get completely banned.
Ikr neither did i.
maybe you just have a better apathy level when comes to sexual violence against women , Torture captivity- kidnapping, Domestic Abuse and Scars or maybe another reason why people are saying it’s hard to watch is because the people who did this in real life never truly got punished for what happened all them are free right know and walking the streets as we speak and if you really think about it they could be doing this to someone right know for all we know that might be one of the many reason why some people find this hard to… Read more »
Jeez, go read the Wiki entry of Murder of Junko Furuta – I have read some bad shit but this is like nothing I have ever read. They set fire to her at one point, but she survived, ah…….just read it, it is mind blowing and really quite upsetting….!!!!
And keep up the good work, such an awesome site……thanks…..
The movie was wrong tho on how she died because they set fire to her multiple times and she actually died because her digestive system was so bad she couldn’t eat or drink without vomiting and she was peeing everywhere uncontrollably and it led them to setting her on fire for fun and the last time she went into shock and it killed her
Some scenes tough to watch, horrible it was based on a true crime. Too bad the boys did not get what they deserved for this. I was not board watching this one at all. Thanks
Ok I honestly have not watched this movie yet or even heard of it or the crime so after reading comments I’m just a little nervous. Coming from extreme abuse I’m very sensitive to anyone being hurt or abused especially children and animals and I’m strongly against it all and what makes it more horrible is that this really happened and probably more severe then whatever is in the movie. But I am curious I guess. I love this site a lot but get myself in trouble many times with movies I know better to stay away from but find… Read more »
Just read about the case online and I’m seriously sick to my stomach of what that poor girl went through. Those sick evil fucks . Im pissed and not even sure I want to see this movie but the weird side of me is curious. I don’t know why I like to push my own sanity when there is barely any left. Oh well
Chase, it is good that you have the balls to want to test your mental boundaries; that’s the only way you get stronger. You are just like me in that regard. I came from an abusive environment as well (a fundamentalist home with LOTS of spiritual abuse to go along with the usual physical abuse) And I have to prepare myself when watching some of these movies. Most do not bother me to an overwhelming degree, but some are a hard watch and some are movies that…well, let’s put it this way; My Wife, My Life and My Freedom are… Read more »
Hey man thanks so much for your comment. It’s nice to see that other people can understand where I’m coming from. I love movies so much and you would think with the abuse I have went through even recently I would stay far away from certain movies but for some reason I feel more comfortable watching these kind but same time it really triggers a lot in me. I know with these type movies I am really taking big risk and I have paid major many times doing that but I still find myself here and searching around online to… Read more »
I’m gonna be honest, we all have the curious side where we want to know more even if it’s weird, in fact I want to be a forensic scientist so that is why I watch this stuff because one day I will have to see the real stuff, I get what you mean
Same here…i am trying to adapt to real torture & crime scenes, because i want to be either Criminologist or Forensic Doctor.
Acting is so bad they shoulda called it “the Japanese room”, also what up with the ridiculous karate sound fx
thought the same, that’s the early 00s for ya lol
The fact that it was based on a real story was really effed up,and a lot of yakuza members enjoyed free attendance aswell. I couldn’t really enjoy it and as a movie it was weak as well.
Yes, a lost opportunity as the subject matter is fictional, brutal and the story should have resonated. Instead, it felt like an evening made for TV movie. Bland, poorly directed, acted and easily forgotten.
Meant non-fictional, doh!
Was expecting something more, considering the case is based on.
It wasn’t bad but could have been better.
I honestly wished the parts where Junko attempted to escape twice were real though. Run bitch run!!
Yea bro, that part was weak asf. I excepted more abt this film cuz wiki page was squalid.
Terrible
Why? Why? Why are people so cruel?
I’m gonna be honest, I was kind of disappointed the movie was based on true events but a lot of the events were not true, for example she died from shock when they lit her on fire so many times, and she never escaped during the actual case, also the acting wasn’t too great considering the seriousness of the crime and I was disappointed that the movie seemed to revolve more around Osugi rather than the girl and that upset me because she should have been the main problem not him
She tried to escape once, I read a manga called: Shin Gendai Ryoukiden
It is so gory & scarring..almost everything happened to her irl happened in manga
I am disgusted to death??
I cried after reading that manga
Japanese sadomasochistic at the purest…..
Does anyone know the song played at the very end of the movie?? And what about the song that was playing in the background on the Radio when the so called ”strip show” started?
Bro… that’s very sad.
Junko died for a little reason, and the fucking mother of tatsuo destroid her tomb saying ”Junko destroit him life, really???
THE FUCKING BOYS DESTROY ALL OF HER. FUCK FUCK FUCK AND THE FUCK SENTENCE IS A SIMPLE 7 OR 5 YEARS IN PRISION???
Junko… mi little girl… i’m sorry… i’m in really sorry
thanks u for share this movie
wow now thats what i call an effed up movie!!!
It’s based on Jôji Atsumi’s non-fiction novel; ‘JUUNANA-SAI: AKU NO RIREKISHO’… “Seventeen, Evil Resume” is a translation of the book’s title.
Peruse and enucleate, my little kumquats 🙂
The boys together with their messed-up families, and the whole gang should have been sentenced to death. If refused, the authorities needs death too, need to be ripped apart in the middle of the crowd. Too much corruption in this world. Death!!
Well, this item might make you feel a little better about the case. After the crew was sentenced, they tried to appeal to have their sentences reduced. But the judge was so shocked that they did all of this and then dared to ask for a reduction in time that he RAISED their original sentences by an additional four years instead! Also, one of the group got out, got into an altercation with another guy over (you guessed it) a girl, tortured the guy for hours, while bragging that he knew ” How to get away with murder! I’ve done… Read more »
