In fact, it seems that the plot of the film is quite bloody, nothing more than a story of a salted egg superman PK Japanese monsters, but the director is not a cover after all, he has incorporated a lot of content satirizing Japan's economy and politics in his film, Refresh people.
First, ordinary people VS heroes. Just as the protagonist in "Spider-Man 2" discusses and struggles with the choice between ordinary people's life and superhero status, "Big Man Japan" also gradually settles on this point to spread the story. Although the protagonist of the film Da Sato is on a superhuman mission, he is still indulging in his ordinary life. The umbrella that never leaves his hand, and the sweet and delicious udon noodles are all portrayals of his ordinary life. Hidden identity inevitably destroyed his peace, unable to meet his wife and children, unable to work with peace of mind, and living under the surveillance of cameras all day long. And his descendants still have to shoulder this responsibility.
Second, eclectic shooting techniques. For Matsumoto, he has not experienced the training and shaping of orthodox photography skills and film theory, so this film is completely beyond the concept of conventional film shooting. To be precise, it is difficult to give an accurate positioning to this work. For Matsumoto, there are no rules or theories that must be followed, and he uses his own original interview techniques throughout to tell the story. Matsumoto filmed the film as a documentary, consisting of interview clips one by one, each scene being independent but interrelated. As the plot progresses, discover their inner connections and eventually connect into a complete panorama.
Third, irony. In fact, the most important core of "Big Man Japan" is still the irony of Japanese society. In the film, Matsumoto depicts the Japanese politics that in the 22nd century, in response to the threat from North Korea, turned to the United States for help. Of course, There is no such thing as a free lunch, and seeking help comes at a price
