script is the soul of the movie.
In addition to the script, this movie certainly has a lot to offer, but because of the compactness of the plot, I can’t extricate myself for the time being, so most of the space may fall on the story itself.
It has always been difficult for me to agree with the argument that "at the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good", but I have a lot of resonance with the argument that sex is evil. The child has traditionally been a symbol of innocence. And are they really simple enough not to do evil? This is so wrong.
I don’t know if everyone will feel this way, that is, we have always been people with ideas. That is to say, whether I am 4, 14, or 24 years old, I will have a space for my own thinking, in this space, I distinguish right from wrong, weigh the severity, and think that I have a set. I remember when I was 12 years old, I would talk about life with others.
Children
say this just to show that children are not innocent. Although I don't think they will deliberately use the loopholes that won't be punished by law to do some evil things.
"Confession" reminds me of a story I once read. It was about the first year of junior high school that I watched it on Juvenile Literature, and the first time I saw it, it gave me a great shock. It describes a group of children who always love to sneak to the river to play without telling the adults, and one of the little friends was unfortunately eaten by a weasel. In order not to be blamed, they agreed, and no one knew what was going on. If anyone said it, their tongue would be cut off. In the end, a child still couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience and spoke out, but what he encountered was the indifference and dissatisfaction of other children. They all said they didn't know about it, and slandered and excluded him in every way. In the end, the innocent child finally chose to commit suicide under great pressure and hanged himself from a tree.
One aspect of the two stories that is particularly similar is the description of the child. Children are by no means innocent. There is a complicated net in their hearts to measure the pros and cons and the pros and cons. This net is not much simpler than that of adults.
A's meticulous planning and B's intentional homicide have more or less explained this.
Mother
Since I haven't read the book, the process of watching this movie makes me feel more suspenseful. I have to say that I am a novice watching suspense dramas because I made two mistakes in succession. One, I think Mr. Moriguchi did inject blood into the milk. Two, I thought her revenge wouldn't go on. But I was dead wrong.
The importance of a daughter to a single mother is something you don't even want to know. After an intentional murder, the criminal is still at ease without repentance. How many normal people can accept this fact? We will probably spit angrily: "Damn it!" And Mr. Moriguchi's choice is to make this sentence a reality, and her revenge method is also the most cruel.
Classmate B is easier to deal with than Classmate A. Because his weakness is his conscience. His unerased humanity tells him to keep reminding himself that killing is a sin. The suspicion that he was infected with HIV was the trigger for his collapse.
So it can be concluded that the confession of Mr. Moriguchi at the beginning of the movie has already defeated B.
And A is more difficult to deal with. On the surface, he is a perfect boy, but his heart is full of desire for approval, and due to lack of love, he is eventually pushed to the brink of evil. The fate of A and Mr. Moriguchi shows a ridiculous entanglement: because of maternal love, A decides to kill and kills Moriguchi's daughter. And Moriguchi, because of maternal love, decided to take revenge, and then destroyed the two children and their families.
In this sense, Moriguchi had also become a demon at the moment when his daughter was lost.
A still came to school naturally in the second semester, and smiled at the bullying of her classmates. It wasn't until Mr. Moriguchi accidentally learned about A's childhood that he caught A's life. She can also choose to take the life of A's mother herself, so that the two are evenly matched. But she didn't. She chose to let A kill her mother herself and make him suffer for the rest of his life. At this moment, A actually died.
A: Mom, I love you.
In fact, for a moment, I hoped that with the company of LUNA SEA, A could hear a little bit of his humanity remaining, but he didn't.
His love is only reserved for his mother, which is probably why, when LUNA SEA called him "mom control", he immediately chose to kill him.
I was too romantic and thought liking would solve the problem, but it couldn't. When classmates threatened LUNA SEA with kissing photos, A actually stood up to scare his classmates with blood. At this moment, I thought he liked her.
Not really.
He is just lonely, so lonely that he needs someone to accompany him. If one day this person tires him, then her life will come to an end.
He killed LUNA SEA with his trophy and put her in the fridge. The man who once stole his limelight finally died at his own hands.
In fact, all he needs is his mother's attention, and he can use his ingenuity to get even a little attention. He cared so much about his mother that he didn't dare to go to her directly, for fear of being rejected and forgotten.
But his love eventually became the executioner who ended his mother's life.
If the mother is not involved, A's tolerance is unusually strong, but as long as the mother is involved, he will completely collapse.
The fate of these people is woven together like this. They are both angels and devils.
Moriguchi-sensei, she is her daughter's guardian angel, but after her daughter leaves, she uses the devil's means to punish others.
A. He is his mother's angel, but in desperation, he tries to get people to accompany him to death.
B, he used to be an angel. By chance, he became A's friend, but when he learned that he was being used, he chose to use his own means to prove himself. And the process of proof is also the process of becoming a devil.
LUNA SEA, half angel, half devil. A was with her because of the emptiness, but I don't think she made that choice for the same reason.
This film portrays human nature quite well. It didn't take long, but the characters of many people were vividly portrayed, with struggles, fears, sorrows, joys, all interspersed between dialogues, details, and cross montages. A sad ode to human nature.
