not too bad

It was very nasty at the time. . Just watched. When I found Kitano, I felt no loss, hahaha. To sum up, I feel that although some Japanese movies are perverted at every turn, they always want to express some so-called emotions & theories, but they are often superficial, and instead are viewed by some audiences as horror movies, unaware of the sadness of the audience. Or the sadness of the filmmakers. What I want to say is that sometimes it is more powerful without the distortion of blood and stumps.

Teacher Kitano: Are my classes boring?
Noriko Nakagawa: Yes.
Teacher Kitano: How dare you!
Noriko Nakagawa: [chuckles]
Teacher Kitano: I go into class, you guys look like a pile of potatoes. Slapping them around helped me tell them apart, even got to like them. But now, not anymore. Now you touch a student, you're fired. Can't even lose it when a student stabs you!
Noriko Nakagawa: I'll tell you just one thing.
Teacher Kitano: What?
Noriko Nakagawa: That knife that stabbed you... actually I keep it in my desk at home. When I picked it up, I wasn't sure... but now, for some reason, I really treasure it. It's our secret, okay? Just between us.
Teacher Kitano: Listen, Nakagawa.
Noriko Nakagawa: Yes?
Teacher Kitano: What do you think a grown-up should say to a kid now?
