You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((nihongo|'''''Rainy Dog'''''|極道黒社会|Gokudô kuroshakai)) is a 1997 Japanese film directed by [[Takashi Miike]], completely set and filmed in [[Taipei]], Taiwan. Although the movie contains a fair amount of controversial material, the overall theme of the movie concerns the unlikely relationships formed between a hitman and his girlfriend / hooker and son.

This movie is the second part of the [[Black Society trilogy|''Black Society'' trilogy]].

==Plot==
The film begins with the main character, Yujiro (Yuji), being fired from his yakuza syndicate. Soon he finds work for another boss solely as a pay-per-hit assassin, killing members of other syndicates. His life starts to become more complicated when an ex-girlfriend drops his son off at his house. His son, Ah-Chen, who is mute, begins to follow him, where the boy watches him shoot a man who is having lunch with his wife and infant son. Afterward, the boy follows Yuji to a whorehouse where he waits outside. While waiting, he eats food from the garbage and befriends a puppy who is chained in the alley.

A prostitute (Lily) and Yuji develop a live-in relationship (possibly by contract with her procurer). Things get much more complicated when the brother of Yuuji's recent victim, a lawyer, approaches his brother's yakuza syndicate to request heading the revenge attack on Yuji. Circumstances revolving around one of his contract killings force the three of them to flee, taking temporary refuge on a beach. While there, Lily teaches Yuji's son to read and write his name, 'Chen'. The mark's brother discovers the relationship between Lily and Yuji and augments her website to offer a reward for anyone with information about her. Yuuji, his son, and Lily are on the way out of town when Yuuji calls his new boss to get a passport.

Yuji's new boss knows about the reward and calls the mark's brother, despite the fact that he hired Yuji. Yuji can tell by the sound of his boss's voice that he has been betrayed, so he leaves their current location and seek refuge at the apartment of one of Lilly's friends: a trans woman named Sandy. While browsing her website on her friend's computer, Lilly discovers the reward offering on her website, informs Yuuji and the two begin to wonder where her friend, Sandy, went to. They spot her outside, waiting nervously downstairs and realize she has turned them in for money.

Yuuji sends Lily and his son together to a train station and gets revenge on his boss - splitting them up; but before they can make it there they are captured by the lawyer (the mark's brother) and Lily is killed. Yuji faces off with the lawyer, but gets knocked out due to a distraction by Chen after pumping a few bullets into Yuji - which makes him appear dead. As Yuji and Chen rejoice, an old acquaintance, a low quality and comical hitman, appears and kills Yuji. After the hitman leaves, the lawyer reawakens and gives Chen a short speech, telling him if he wanted to seek revenge in the future, that he will be waiting.

==Reception==
''[[Sight & Sound]]'' described the film as a "relatively subdued effort" from Miike, whose plot was "Stretched somewhat thin over 95 minutes".<ref name="ss-review" /> The review noted "moments of melancholy lyricism, but Miike is rigorously unsentimental in his approach to the father/son relationship - which barely figures until the closing scenes."<ref name="ss-review">((cite magazine|magazine=[[Sight & Sound]]|title=Rainy Dog|last=Leyland|first=Matthew|volume=13|issue=8|page=68|date=August 2003|publisher=[[British Film Institute]]|location=London))</ref>
