Ho visto i tre episodi della serie tv su Ito Noe fatta dalla tv di stato giapponese. Una merda fumante. Ito era una rivoluzionaria, è scappata da un matrimonio combinato a 17 anni, ha scopato e vissuto col suo insegnante di 11 anni più grande, lo ha sposato dopo anni di convinvenza, poi lo ha lasciato perché le faceva schifo la coppia monogama e il matrimonio. Poi ha vissuto in una relazione aperta con un altro anarchico fino ad essere stata uccisa dalla polizia. Tutto ciò agli inizi del 1900.
Cosa emerge nella serie tv? L'OPPOSTO.

I've watched the first episode out of 3.
This ain't it.
It starts about Ito being shocked and disgusted by men that talk about her ass. How does this correspond to a revolutionary woman that fucked her teacher and later fucked a guy that had 3 women in the same period?
Make it make sense.
Then we move into her relationship with her teacher. She is portrayed like a naive girl that doesn't understand what is going on, has no desire of her own, and is almost taken advantage of by an older weird guy.
Here again the director and writers are projecting their own mediocre view of the world. Ito wanted that relationship and never denied it.
Then there's her writing at Seito. Never once we understand that Seito promoted disruptive socialist, communist and anarchist writings. They make it look like it was some kind of vague good hearted femminism. It was not. That's why the police targeted it.
Cross fingers for episode 2 and 3...

Episode 2 doesn't get better. More psychology, which means ever more obnoxious scenes.
- First of all we have an excruciating series of scenes where Tsuji Jun, husband of Ito Noe, insults her ideas and such. It all serves the porpouse of justifying the fact that Ito gets ready to have sex with Osugi. Here again Noe desires are subbordinated to the (fictional) idea that her husband is mistreating her.
She just wanted Osugi dick. It doesn't need a moral explanation. Women can be just fine in their marriage and just wanting another fat dick. Shocking, right? One of the novels that Ito published in Seito treated these kind of non-morally-connected sexual desires and was targeted by police. Here the writers of the TV series are effectivelly doing the same.
- Then we have the closure of Seito, the femminist magazine of which Ito takes control of. The cause of the closure is justified by the (fictional, again) fact that society wasn't ready for the radical writings that she was publishing, that she didn't found a necessary compromise blablabla All of this is pure bullshit, fantasy, a reformist dream of how she could have done better.
Seito couldn't sell because the police threatened distributors, not because Ito writings wouldn't sell. Ito is presented as a "dreamer" who is ready to attack her own library after a failure. A truly out of touch scene.
And of course as in episode 1 there's no concrete reference to the radicality of the writings. Ito was in favour of the legalization of prostitution. But that's probably too shocking even for today.
- Near the end of the episode we move to the love story with Osugi.
This is alread very telling. One of the most humanly complex aspects of the story is squashed at the end of the episode, while we spent so many scenes before in repetition.
Why?
Because the writers of the series wants to make "free love" look like some kind of joke that is not even worth screen time.
Ito enters a room, she extremelly rapidly informed of this funny free love, and procedes to rant against it because "women are the ones that would suffer the judgement from society". It's funny to think that a revolutionary person as Ito would immediatelly switch to legitimize society pressure. Again, the magic of fiction.
Another disturbing scene is Ito going full standard manipulative jealous mode when she meets again with Ichiko Kamichika. All of this (fictional) psychology completelly hides the social pressure that was evoked before and tries to make it some kind of "essential human emotion".

Episode 3 settles down into nothing.
We had left Ito Noe humiliating the other woman "you were the one that said you want to try out free love" while trying to take Osugi all for herself (pure fiction).
Then he get stabbed. On hospital bed he immediatelly rebute free love "free love was just me -the man- exploiting women". Another pure fantasy from the writers. To my knowledge Osugi Sakae didn't push back about free love after being stabbed by a jealous and murderous partner, let alone blame himself. Which would be very funny if you think of it.
A boring long part abut them being a normal (mildly political) couple follows. Osugi takes more place, he goes up to say "I want my childhish sentimentalism back" when he want to be politically active again. Can you imagine a veteran anarchist saying that? Fiction. Fantasy. It never happened.
Then it's time for them to be murdered by the police after the great heartquake. Here again Osugi makes some very dubious statemets about not taking advantage of the situation for political activities. Militants often gives out pamphlets during food distributions and organize protests in times that are unstable, hence difficult for the government. The idea that they should refrain from doing so is FICTION. The writers are projecting governement wishes into a anarchist character.
The murder arrives. It's very sweet. They get caught for questioning, one of the police officers even give them how to clean an apple and eat at the police station. Then ONE officer, the chief, gets mad because the couple is too much sassy and kills them. We never see the killing. I found particularly disturbing that we don't even see Ito dead. We only see Osugi body in the rain. We don't see what happened to the kid of 6 years that was with them. Guess what? He was killed too.
None of this ever happened. Ito, Osugi and the kid weren't brought to the police station for questioning. Questioning didn't go wrong. They were brought to the police station to be tortured, beaten, hanged, and then mercilessly throwed into a well. Not carefully wrapped in a blanket burial. It also wasn't a rogue act, Ito and Osugi were on an official and secret death list.
This enormous distortion of reality really closes up a tv series that is composed of all kind of reactionnary lies. Ito Noe is presented as a puppet that doesn't have desires of her own, let alone unconventional desires. The government is almost benevolent. Revolution is portrayed as a childish dream. And free love as an "exploiting experiment".
If you stick a finger into your ass and then suck it, it tastes better than this series.
