run away, run away

This is a story about cannibalism. This is a discussion about human nature. At the end of the film, Qiuya said to Noriko, "Let's run, Noriko." As long as you live, you can start over and change everything. And the price to pay in order to survive is too painful.
The film has the unique way of talking about friendship and love in Japanese movies, and the dark and dark discussion mode. A warm female lead, a male lead who is a little weak but endlessly prosperous. As for what kind of story the film tells, everyone can understand it on Baidu, so I won't discuss it in depth here. There are more than 40 people, everyone's story and personality are clear at a glance. In just two hours, they can show them all. Their weapons, death methods, and interpersonal relationships can be clearly explained. I have to say yes Director and screenwriter.
My favorite among the forty or so people is Kawada, the boy with a yellow cloth strip on his head who participated in BR three years ago and survived. Finally, he still avenged Qingzi; finally, he understood the meaning of Qingzi's smile. The phrase "thank you for being your friend" almost made me cry. It's a pity that Kawada's role is set to protect the hero and heroine, and the plot finally pushes him to heaven.
There are several episodes that impressed me deeply. First, the three boys united to find a way to untie the collar; second, a boy hit a girl and wanted to protect her, but the girl was in a state of extreme tension. He shot and killed the boy, and the boy confessed to the girl before he died; the third was cannibalism at the lighthouse due to a misunderstanding. ps: There are so many characters, I really don't remember their names.
In the film, there are strong people who can no longer be strong, who are single-minded to live, and who do not hesitate to remove all obstacles (such as Photon), there are cowardly people who choose to commit suicide, and there are people who do not want to hurt anyone but do not want to die (such as the heroine). ), and people who have to fight to protect someone (such as the male lead)... With such a rich and diverse presentation, this movie is definitely a classic.
In this world, how difficult it is to believe and be believed. The theory of photons is "trust no one". Many people scolded Photon after watching this film. I think Mitsuko was relieved when she said to Noriko, "You look good, there are two princes protecting you...". The character of the heroine is really difficult for me to accept: mediocre, too gentle and kind that she needs protection from others, in other words, dragging others down (and in other words, making us Kawada miserable), and still alive in the end.
The details are actually a bit rough, including some dialogues of the characters that make me feel very thunderous. But in fact, this film can be described as "exquisite", and it is startling step by step, the climax is really pushed up step by step, unlike some movies that have been flat and straight, and finally slammed down to a climax.
There are highlights at the end. The film has always had a depressing atmosphere, coupled with some bloody scenes (if you have seen zombie films, this level is completely trivial), the distrust between friends, and the speculation about who will survive the ending will make the audience's nerves very fragile. The small reversal at the end almost makes people collapse. After all, this film is not trying to tell you "good people are rewarded".
Such a controversial movie will definitely cause a lot of discussion among the audience. If there is such a day, should we believe it? Or should I take up arms and fight to the last minute? Includes discussions of society, adults, and minors.
