His daughter died young, and his wife became seriously ill. When he was shirtless, the doctor told him you could take her on a trip. So he did. Even if he was a cop and robbed a bank.

He was crippled and his wife left him. Alone, he chose painting as a hobby. With the combination of flowers and animals, as well as pointillism techniques. Even if he still feels lonely.

Both of the above are healing methods.

A cold and violent policeman played by Takeshi Kitano is unsmiling, but gentle to his wife. The wife doesn't have many lines in the whole film, and so does the role Kitano set for himself. He kills people like hemp, but only laughs at his wife. After his wife is sick, he hardly speaks, but he also laughs at him.
They watched Mount Fuji, the snow, the little girl by the sea running and flying a kite, and when they watched the girl run, they must have thought of their daughter. He taught the little girl to fly a kite, but deliberately did not let go, tearing the kite into two pieces. She smiled and said, "Thank you," and after that, the camera switched to the Sea of ​​Japan, a sign of calm waves, and two sudden Gunshots sounded. Then, the picture is the last painting of the painter - self-determination.


There is no cure, and this line of words resounded in my heart - I am silent to Fenhua.



ps: The footage in this film is well edited, and the soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi is still great and beautiful.
