    so according to the director this scene is symbolic for Touga trying to seduce Sanoji and Sanoji is just going ''dude that's gay, I'm not gay am i? no im not anyway look at my body''

    Personally I see this scene as Touga being juxtaposed with Akio. Ultimately, he isn't like Akio who only uses people as tools because Touga genuinely respects Utena, and he even starts being a better friend/fuck buddy to Saionji as a result.

    • @Boogiepophantom
      @Boogiepophantom  Před 26 dny +1

      Kunihiko Ikuhara, who directed Revolutionary Girl Utena, is known for his symbolism in anime. He usually won’t say exactly what he wants. He tells stories through color symbolism, metaphors, rose symbolism, animal symbolism, music, sexuality, gender identity, etc. Ikuhara has created his own avant garde style of anime through his less “head on” approach. It leaves the viewer wondering what is happening and what everything means. You see a man asserting dominance because of the symbolic way Ikuhara shows it in this scene. Touga has bright red hair which symbolizes power and he’s driving the main motorcycle. Touga says, “You don’t like it because I’m driving, right?” And Saionji says, “I don’t like not being in control.” Touga’s words, his red hair, and his red motorcycle all symbolize his desire for power and control over men and women alike through sex. The motorcycles and cars seen in Utena largely represent the characters using sex as a way to control people and making them into the person they want them to be. Ikuhara doesn’t want to show characters having sex, he wants to create otherworldly scenarios that give off the feeling of an unfair power dynamic. Honestly, Touga in this scene has learned all of these behaviors from Akio. He drives a bright red car where he takes advantage of his students and brainwashes men into thinking that they have all the power. There’s a scene where Akio takes photographs of Touga and Saionji shirtless and he passes on his manipulative way of thinking onto both of them. Akio also wears red many times throughout the anime and movie. He doesn’t view sex as a deeply intimate act of shared love and compassion. Akio views sex as the key to controlling someone. Just like you need keys to start a car, Akio believes that you need the key to people’s minds in order to control their mind and body. A car is nothing without the key to start it. In the movie Akio says to Anthy, “A car without its key begins to rust.” If Akio doesn’t have the key, his power and control seizes to have any effect on the victim. Once the victim knows the manipulation tactics, the manipulator has no power. Which begs the question, did Akio even have power in the first place? Or did he just create an elaborate world where he’s in charge of everything and everyone because he’s truly weak?
