The atmosphere of the whole film is quiet, and Hisaishi's music is still as gentle as the sunshine of the summer Tanabe. The violence shown is only a matter of moments. The big difference between most Japanese-style films and European and American films is that European and American films will use BGM with a strong sense of stimulation in the part that expresses their violent aesthetics. , but not Japanese movies, at least not with Director Takeshi Kitano.
The man is a cruel policeman. If he wants to attack others, he will not hesitate. The first scene of the film is to kick over the cleaner who put the leftovers in his car. Even against the underworld who came to collect debts from him, he could act ruthlessly. Facing the doctor's announcement of his wife's death, his face was expressionless, and he immediately broke free when the terminally ill wife took a picture with him to hold his hand. It is such a macho man, who is sluggish in the face of his lover, and who is indifferent to others, but will bow his head and smile when facing his wife, and help the wife of a colleague who has died in the line of duty.
The second half of the film is all about the final journey of the two, and the violent and sad parts have been taken lightly. All that was left was the surprised expression of the daughter in the fantasy that finally ceased to exist. The splendid illusion collapsed, leaving only a touch of sadness and the past. Perhaps just like another policeman who left his wife and daughter injured, the reality is so sad, so it is better to send you the last game regardless of the consequences.
