      fireworks

      Fireworks, brilliant and fleeting, with petal fires dotted with black sky, illuminated the life of police officer Xi Jiajing.

              Kei Nishi visited his wife who was suffering from leukemia in the hospital. His wife was in the terminal stage of his illness. He looked at his beloved wife who was recovering and did not speak. At this time, the younger generation came forward and told Kei Nishi's good friend Horibe, who had deserted him, that he had been ambushed by gangsters and was...

      If death is not worth grief

      Sometimes, we know how to comfort others and accompany them when they are sad. But when I feel depressed, I don't know how to let go.

           The first time I came into contact with Takeshi Kitano's films, I heard that he would always play a role in his own films. But I can't believe that the first appearance in "Hanawa" is the short, fierce man with sunglasses and clearly visible facial wrinkles.

          The plot of the whole movie is very compact. The main story is that the wife...

      kid playing with gun

      After listening to No. 43 Baojia Street and Wang Feng's version of "Good Night Beijing", I saw in Wang Feng's resume that his favorite actor is Takeshi Kitano and his favorite movie is "Hana".  
        After listening to "Good Night Beijing", I feel that most of the pop music is really "mother". But after watching "Hua Huo" and listening to "Good Night Beijing", it also means "mother".
        Afraid of anything! The gap appears all of a sudden, look at what you have written in the past, just...

      Thank you, Yamada

      I watched "Hanawa" again. After so many years, I watched this movie again because I was bored. I remember that at that time, when I dropped out of school and was bored at home, I watched this movie just to feel a little happiness and prove that I was not so numb. Later, I was convinced by Takeshi Kitano. His narration with tension in his blandness, his poetic lens in his sternness, his silent but complex performance in his heart, he pretended to be ruthless but exuded a...

      What fireworks is a depressing movie? Romance should be so!

      I just finished watching the fireworks, and I read the whole review with excitement, uh, my mind is full of diametrically opposite perceptions, the fireworks bloom and die out immediately, as if the short-lived personal life is not worth mentioning compared to this ancient time. , Death will always come in various unexpected ways, Xi uses his own way to make this firework that should have been immersed in darkness bloom into its due splendor, he is romantic, the social background of Japan at...

      Snow, please fall into my darkness. Snow, I command you to fall into my darkness. Light, please shine into my body. Light, I command you to shine into my body. Bring the white and take the cold away. Get the kid who was in the snowball fight...

      A good movie can stand up to countless reviews, which means there are no spoilers. Write gentle on the background of violence, and write brutal on the background of silence. Live indifferently, and die fearlessly. The female protagonist has only two lines, the male protagonist has no more than 20 lines, and there are only a few lines, and it does not carry the narrative task at all. In the picture, the foreground of the main characters will be largely blocked by meaningless miscellaneous...

      Violence reveals literature and art, this is Kitano Takeshi. The soundtrack and the sound of gunfire, set off this tragic color, infinite...

      Really read with dead words. Kitano Takeshi's face is very ghostly, and it often gives me the feeling that he will go mad in the next second, but there is also a vague gentle feeling, forming a huge contrast and...

      HANA, the flower of life; BI, the fire of death. HANABI, "Self-determination" like fireworks that bloom in an instant. Fragmented cuts leave the story without a causal narrative, as if an endless journey repeats itself, with death leading to...

    The original title of the film is "HANA-BI", and HANA is a Japanese flower. BI is fire. This film uses beautiful and eye-catching flowers and burning fire to symbolize love and violence, to embody the theme of life and death. In English, there is also the meaning of shooting when together, which has the meaning of death.
    In Kitano Takeshi's movies, there are many bloody scenes of beating, kicking, and killing, and these violence often...
