It is Hirokazu Koreeda, who, in my opinion, has been insisting on doing one thing, exploring whether human nature is good or evil. From "Nobody Knows" in 2004, "Like Father Like Son" in 2013, to "The Third Suspect" in 2017, and now "The Thief Family" in 2018, they are all talking about this issue. In 2013 "Like Father Like Son", Nonomiya Rakuten learns how to get along with children without blood relationship. This time, Shibata Haru, played by Lily Franky, and Shibata Nobuyoshi, played by Ando Sakura, shouldered the above tasks and worked hard to learn to be a child who loves and is loved by children (the metaphor of whether children call themselves father or mother). parent" role. Aiming at legal gray areas, such as comparing the evil deeds committed by the legal good (Yuri's parents' abuse of their daughter) with the good deeds of the legal bad (the Shibata couple's sheltering of abused children), It is a continuation of the "Third Degree Suspect" (2017), where Sanyu is recognized as a murderer who is full of evil, and it is difficult to distinguish the good from the bad.
So it is said that Hirokazu Kore-eda has not changed at all. If it is said that he has changed, it means that he is more cruel and questioning the meaning and value of life more deeply. Many people gave "The Third Suspect" bad reviews, and the director also said: "I'm sorry, this film did not give everyone the answer." Because there is no answer at all in human nature and rules! You didn't understand it was Hirokazu-eda before. This time he gave the result, a very cruel answer. I would like to continue to talk about the works of the film master Kubrick, "A Clockwork Orange" and "2001: A Space Odyssey", which I paid tribute to. Kubrick used images many years ago to discuss issues in human nature, such as violence, Lust, fear, etc. I will never forget the title of "A Clockwork Orange", like which colors: red, green, blue, purple, etc. People are made up of many colors. What color should violence be? red? Kubrick gives the answer in the movie. Jiang Wen used a large piece of red in the title of "The Evil Does Not Overpower the Righteous", which also made me excited.
