      Confessions--How to View "Bad Kids"

      Relying on the halo of being nominated for the best foreign language film at the Oscars, "Confession" has become one of the few Japanese live-action films that has been "out of the circle" after the new millennium. Ten years have passed, and time has cast its magic, making "knowledge...

      life

      このfilms はJapanese のfilms のでprivate もJapanese で言いたいことがあります.

      Life は Xin い よ people も. Private はいつもこの世界の美しいものを見たいですから Self-discrimination のは美しいものがしかありません. Private あ ま り こ の society の dark や world の ugly を forget れ ない.

      How can there be so much deceitful writing? After all, I'm just a beginner in Japanese.

      The film is completely different from what I imagined. Before I saw it, I thought it was a youthful love, but what the film wanted to express was so profound

      This is Mr....

      What episodes of "Confession" impressed you

      The episode that impressed me the most was Mizuki telling the female teacher about the little male lead's Achilles heel. At that time, I also thought that it was Mizuki who wanted to plead and justify the little male protagonist! Later I heard that Mizuki likes to plant trees! ! ! (Although I didn't see it at all in the movie?) So I have the following Mary Sue-like guess (personal opinion is good for everyone to see?): Mizuki is a darker inside, but the surface is weak or dull Image...

      black revenge

      A noir movie about revenge, it's shocking.

      The way of telling the film is very special. It follows the method of the original novel in form, and narrates the events in the first-person chapters. In the overlap and intersection of plots, under the collision of different characters' perspectives and psychological motivations in the same time and space, confession is made. The form of narration restores the whole process of the story like a shredded cocoon. Some suspenseful designs play a...

      Just say something after watching "Confession"

      After reading "Confession", it is easy to think of the old question of "human nature is inherently good or inherently evil".
      Mencius advocates the theory of good nature, he believes that the evil in human nature is animal nature, inhuman nature, while human nature is good. Xunzi advocated the theory of evil in nature. In the chapter "Evil in Nature", he said: "Human nature is evil; its goodness is hypocrisy." Self-beauty" because primitive human nature is evil.
      But I personally agree...

      Such a heartwarming title is a confession of sin and humanity. Like the dark youth of "Lily Zhou", this film involves brutal school violence and mother's revenge. In order to take revenge on the students, the teacher destroyed the students' favorite things step by step. I was really sweating when I saw it, and the conversation was in ashes. I couldn't help but think of "Gone Lover". "This is your first day of rebirth... just...

      In fact, it's a cool film. On the surface, it's rambling, but the plot is constantly bursting. As for the deep meaning, I don't think it's there. Bear children or something, is a heart disease that knows no borders, but the cultural analysis behind this does not belong to the content of the text itself. This film is almost the movie that my friends and neighbors are most keen to comment on. The short review has been written for three pages. I am...

    · Okada Masayoshi, who is used to acting as a student, thought that he was going to act as a junior high school student when he received the appointment, but he never expected that the producer would assign him the role of a teacher. This is the first time Okada Masao has acted as a teacher.
