I don't see much of Kitano's movies. Silent men are introverted and not easy to understand. I remember that when Ken Takakura was popular all over China, many people were discussing a question, whether silent men are the most masculine.
Some people like sunshine-type heterosexuals. When Takakura Ken's deep and silent craze fades, people, especially some women, will say, how can a person who does not like to talk to communicate with him? He doesn't say he loves me, how would I know? Du Mei in "Enjoyment" complains that the dialect never says I love you, and keeps entangled in this issue by asking questions again and again. Mayumi was attracted by the masculinity contained in Ken Takakura's silence, but most of the time, people like warm and cheerful people.
The hero in the film is a silent man, more ordinary than Ken Takakura. A police officer who is about to retire, but faces all kinds of crises in his life. His daughter died, his wife died of a terminal illness, he owed usurious loans, and his debts were collected. All push the protagonist to a dead end.
Sadly losing his beloved daughter, he immediately faced the situation of losing his wife and ruining his family. What kind of life is this? The family, love, and friendship that people rely on to live on their emotions have all been forced to despair by reality. There is a real sense of powerlessness. The protagonist from the law enforcement police, angrily decides to rob a bank to spend the last part of his life. To appease the wife of the dead colleague, send the brush and beret he once mentioned to the colleague who lost his freedom of movement in a wheelchair, help him cheer up, realize his dream, and spend the second half of his life; then take his wife Spend your last moments while traveling.
He didn't have any words, just in the car repair shop, he bluntly said to the car repair shop owner, "I'm going to rob the bank", and asked the car repair shop owner to modify a car for him. The car repair shop owner laughed when he heard it. I think he told a joke. Like satisfying a whimsical child, I installed him a car with police lights. This is probably the funniest part of the movie. Can you take the joke seriously? The protagonist takes the jokes that people usually think of when they are in a hurry as a very serious thing to do. Given his situation, this is not difficult to imagine, but it may be a no-brainer.
Then, like a Santa Claus who fulfills the wishes of the people he loves around him, he sends gifts to the wives of his sacrificed colleagues, buys brushes for his injured and paralyzed colleagues, encourages him to realize his dream of being a painter, and then takes his wife on a trip, to Temple, to do what he usually didn't do for her. No more words, just silent companionship. If it is a normal man, this can not be done, work, survival, take up most of our time. We don't have time for family. In fact, most of the time, life is not perfect. Maybe when you have time to accompany, it is not necessarily as beautiful as you think, life is nothing but trivial and bland, but when there is not much life, companionship becomes so precious. Because every moment, time is passing. The protagonist, who was forced by loan sharks, made a last-ditch effort.
The splendor of the spark is only for a moment, and then it is attributed to the silence and darkness of the sky. How many people have endured their whole lives and lived for the most ordinary wishes. And when this most ordinary wish cannot be realized, indulging in a gamble, burning a life like a spark, and then dying, is also a choice of life.
The bloody scenes in the film face the cruel blood of life, and the greed of loan sharks is disgusting. The chasing and persecution of the protagonist caused the protagonist to make one last bloody counterattack. A response to fate, the evil one, this impermanent life and despair.
At the seaside, I finally ended this journey. I didn't feel sad, but felt relieved. Life is so heavy, whether to endure the ravages of fate, let the humiliation and loneliness live, or live happily, this is the protagonist's choice, and simply leave.
When the injured colleague received the brushes, paints and berets sent by the protagonist, he was very moved and wanted to laugh a little bit. He thought this passage was very cute, and it was like a fairy tale to have such a relationship. There are very few people who have such deeply affectionate colleagues. It seems that apart from competition, it is difficult for everyone to have sympathetic friendship. Friends who went to Japan came back and said that on the streets of Tokyo, there were no smiles on the faces of people walking. This is the life situation of modern urbanites. If you walk in New York, Shanghai, and the streets of these cities, you may not see many smiling faces. People are so nervous to live. For this, we must endure loneliness.
It is harder to live than to die.
The protagonist's deep affection is revealed in his silent actions, his affection for his colleagues, his love for his wife and daughter. I have been busy with work for half my life, but suddenly found that I am about to lose everything, which is a bolt from the blue no matter what. Compared with the lonely and helpless situation of urban people, the protagonist has to make more decisions. Because there is no time to waste.
When I was playing at the seaside in Dalian, I saw a beautiful aunt in a red dress using the blue sky and the sea as the background and the reef as the stage, jumping on the black reef and taking pictures in various beautiful dance poses . Walking back and forth on such a steep and rocky reef, without any dance skills or balance skills, is really not enough. She has a loyal photographer by her side who has been following her and taking pictures of her. I looked at them and thought it was very interesting, like two children who were very serious and devoted to playing the house. Before leaving, the faithful photographer gave me a shy smile, "We are playing".
It suddenly occurred to me that I saw a seesaw once when I was a child and wanted to play, but a little boy appeared out of nowhere, so we played on the seesaw together for a while. The so-called partner doesn’t really matter how many sweet words you say, that’s it, I’d like to accompany you, whatever you want. Follow you, fool around with you, and be a loyal companion as you toss.
In fact, true warmth does not require many words, silent company is a kind of tenderness.
