      abuse

      This is the first film that I have contacted Yuan Ziwen. In addition to the various abuses and bloodshed that I have endured. But it didn't make me feel sick. Of course, seeing the bloody dismemberment scene, it is indeed impossible to calm down. But the director seems to be considering your affordability. Slow and gradual bloody, violent. And you completely feel that these are reasonable occurrences within a normal range.

      Is nature inherently good and inherently evil?

      By watching Japanese historical dramas, I changed my understanding of the island country, and this understanding developed to the point where I became very interested in that country. Japan is an alternative country all over the world. It is full of contradictions - like life. Cherry blossoms and Bushido, extremely beautiful and extremely cruel, are both the quintessence of the country, which is very different from the Chinese nation's golden mean. The former is more artistic, and the latter is...

      A dish of fishy and dirty meat

      I really appreciate the director's serious discussion of family ethical relations and the crisis of middle-aged men in the film, but I don't like the rambling narrative rhythm and the pretentious way of speaking dialogues of some actors. The director's lack of control over the actors and the desire to make people laugh in many scenes makes me wonder if I'm watching some hilarious TV soap opera.

      Having said that, this is really a fishy and embarrassing meat dish, and fans who are...

      Changeable and distorted human nature, a life that has no time to continue

      The title of the film already reflects its theme to some extent, that is, the coldness of human nature, the ruthlessness and numbness that is close to the carnivorous tropical fish. The story was bland at the beginning, but to a certain extent reflected the ordinary life of the common people, the hidden and contradictory life of a remarrying family. However, the storyline was repeated in an inadvertent moment, and the savings had been lost. After a long period of insipidity was released, he...

      Too much adrenaline is driving you to death

      At the beginning of the shot, Kagura wraps her sensual body and impacts the whole picture, in stark contrast to the dull and empty eyes throwing pieces of instant food into the basket at the supermarket. This time she is Taeko, a beautiful vase with a dissolute nature but unsatisfied desires. If this woman were any more stupid, there must be an accident.

             The stepdaughter Mitsuko, who punched and kicked herself, and the helpless husband, Nobusuke, who runs a tropical fish shop,...

      It's a good idea, but maybe because it's a Japanese film, it added a lot of unnecessary sex scenes, it's really a perverted nation, and the male pig's feet played...

      The depressing atmosphere is not prominent enough, if the boredom continues to deepen, you can get full marks. The perverted woman will get extra points. It would be better if she was more...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The appearance of Mitsuru Fukikoshi seems to be a coincidence. When Sion Sono was discussing the casting of the film with people in the coffee shop, it happened that Mitsuru Fukikoshi came. Sion Sono asked him if he was free for the January schedule. Mitsuru Fukikoshi said he was free and decided to join immediately.
    When playing Murata, Diandian referred to the tone of an old acquaintance, who acted like a money order fraudster.
    The...

    Evaluation action

    The theme of "Cold Fish" comes from a brutal pet shop couple serial murder and dismemberment case that shocked Japan in 1993. However, in the adaptation process, this murder did not become the main line of the story, but only a background. The real protagonist of the story is Shinsuke Shimoto as a bystander. The film is reconstructed based on his psychological transformation and family relationship changes. The biggest advantage of the...
