What should adults say to children?

I didn't expect that I would be tortured to tears by a bloody horror movie. The tears are in the third elegy, Noriko and Kitano teacher are eating ice cream slowly by the river, and Noriko learns Kitano's method to cross the river. At that moment, they had nothing to do with the bloody massacre, only peace and tranquility.

In fact, Kitano just wanted to be such a teacher who could get along well with students, right? So after the slaughter game, he would do morning exercises alone. Maybe the whole game was just a lesson he gave Noriko, telling her that society is very sinister and that every adult has to work hard to become valuable.

But is this what an adult should say to a child?

In the third clip of Elegy, Noriko told Kitano that she had taken the knife that had stabbed him, and emphasized that it was their secret. But Kitano asked Noriko, "What do you think adults should say to children at this time?"

I didn't quite understand the plot, so I asked my teacher for advice. My teacher said that Kitano might have been moved by Noriko's words, but he didn't know what to say, so he deliberately asked her back.

That's right, but I think adults and children alike, just need to express their hearts frankly, although I can't fully do this.

Kitano clearly had the opportunity to be a gentle teacher, but finally chose a violent teaching method. Guangguang clearly wanted to be friends with everyone, but turned around and left one step away from the class. Hongshu clearly has a place in his heart, but he never talks to her. Instead, he makes an agreement with Qiancao, asking her to unilaterally give a sincere heart.

Would the story not have to be so sad if everyone expressed their true feelings earlier?

I thought it was a movie that would only terrify me, but at the end there was something warm that made me cry. That black-and-white class photo, which was a bit terrifying at first, made me feel very sorry now. I finally understood why Noriko could say that sentence - "It's so beautiful, even though it's everyone's burial place."

As a certain poem says: Everyone once existed beautifully, and then misses, sadness, beauty is boundless and declines.

Finally, I encourage myself to become a more valuable adult! Fortunately, just as Noriko can learn Kitano's method to cross the river, I also have a teacher who guides me well.

    It's still shocking to see it again after more than ten years, but it's too romantic. The real life game is far more cruel than BR, long, boring, changeable, and consuming the will. The most cruel thing is that the purpose of the game is up to you. How many people until GAME OVER don't know what they have played.
