Cherry blossoms in Japan are gorgeous and beautiful, but the gorgeous cherry blossoms symbolize a glorious death.
Cherry blossoms bloom, and then wither when they are most beautiful.
Live vigorously and die neatly. Live as a hero, die as a hero.
If you stop your life at the most magnificent, pure and noble moment, you will not have the opportunity to see yourself in a down and dirty state.
But Nishi (Take Kitano) in the film is not some kind of respected hero, and his life is so embarrassing that it is impossible to continue.
In this world of bullying the soft and fearing the hard, evil is growing and expanding at every moment.
Conscientious police officers end up in ruins, and the underworld who lends usury is arrogant and makes money every day. When two cars collided on the road, whoever shouted loudly and who dared to do it made sense.
The most terrifying thing is that everyone seems to take this kind of evil at ease. When evil appears, people are very calm because of numbness. When Xi was wearing a police uniform and robbed the bank, the guests on the side looked at the gun in Xi's hands curiously. Unlike the calm panic of the bank staff, he was neither surprised nor afraid, and watched silently like watching a play. The robbery crime happened.
Just like the dirty woman who looked at the trash, she didn't respond after being beaten and scolded, and continued to sit like a puppet. After a period of time, dirty women also learned to beat and curse.
From the beginning of enduring evil, to getting used to evil, watching evil, to learning evil, imitating evil, and becoming evil, it has become a very easy thing.
The film does not explain why the criminal who killed Tanaka committed the crime, the reason seems to have become irrelevant, because everyone in life can be a murderer at any time.
Xi hated this murderer who ruined everything, and then Xi chose to be the shadow of this murderer.
Nishi, like the prisoner who killed Tanaka, ended up being a fugitive who committed a felony murder.
The two became a circle. The appearance of a murderer killed other people's fathers, other people's friends, and destroyed a policeman's life. Then the policeman became another murderer and continued to kill other people's fathers, friends of others.
Violence breeds death, and death breeds violence.
A paralyzed Horibe or a widowed widow who becomes a criminal can easily find a last resort, even a sympathetic reason.
The boss of the waste collection was very excited when he heard that Xi was going to rob a bank. He also wanted to become such a heinous criminal, but he didn't dare. He only dared to yell at people on weekdays. He may not be able to shoot and kill, but he may be able to scold people for suicide.
The kite-flying girl who appeared on the beach at the end was not sure whether it was a real strange girl or a daughter in the fantasy of Xi and his wife. If it is a real girl, it would be too cruel for Xi to choose to commit suicide in front of this girl, and it is a bit unbelievable that a girl suddenly appeared on this secluded beach, and it is also a bit unexpected that the police completely ignored her. It was as if the two met their daughter at the end of their lives, and even a fantasy was a comfort.
A very special point of the film is that it can achieve the realm of coexistence and blending of extreme violence and extreme gentleness.
There is very little dialogue in the film, and Takeshi Kitano, the protagonist, doesn't say a few words. Most of the time, the speechless Takeshi Kitano gives people a sense of oppression and distance, which is daunting. When he is with his wife and friends, the silent Takeshi Kitano gives people a sense of warmth and security of silent company.
The existence of Takeshi Kitano is like a bright fireworks bursting out in the silent and boundless night.
From the violent, flaming, and all-destroying gunfire roaring to the sky, beautiful, tender, and vibrant flowers bloom.
Violence and tenderness coexist, fire and flowers dance together.
Fireworks are suitable for the dark night, the darker the sky, the more beautiful the fireworks are. While waiting for the fireworks to go off, the world was extraordinarily quiet, and everyone consciously reduced the sound of breathing. When the fireworks are in full bloom, the night is dimmed, and the light shines on the earth.
Fireworks are supposed to be fun.
