There was a fad of Japanese porn magazines in the 1970s of Japan. This movie dramatized the life story of Suei Akira, an editor who made the extremely popular magazines such as ¡¸New Self¡¹ or ¡¸Weekend Super¡¹. Suei’s life may have been destined at the early stage - when his mother and a man next doors, whom she was having an affair with, killed themselves through dynamite. Suei moves to the city and works in a factory when he became interested in design, and as he works on things such as making cabaret’s signs, he enters the periodical field. He reached the peak of his career as he made Japanese porn magazines. Dynamite Graffiti colorfully depicts the scenes of entertainment districts during the roaring 1970s. It shows the Japanese society on the verge of rolling on to a massive bubble using the keyword, ‘Japanese porn magazines.’ It was an era in which everyone was wandering around being high on extravagance, or was obsessed with eroticism because they were lost. Suei’s life seems cool but on the other side it is empty, and Suei knows it. However, once on the railway, one has to throw something away to get out. For someone it is life, and for others, spirit. Dynamites will be needed then. (KIM Bong-seok)
