1. At the beginning of the movie, the speed of the narrative is abandoned, and the original car of people is divided into three groups as a whole (each has its own "task"), and the movie is also divided into "three parts". Every piece, we watch, keeps a distance from it, 1 because of the time of the shot, 2 because of the scene and 3 fixed shots. That is, the movie does not go deep into the situation in any sub-"narrative line". The movie is non-relational and non-plot. In the movie at this moment, the relationship between the beats is not progressive, but parallel. Therefore, this makes the film's The time is more "longer". It went on indifferently and slowly. But "narrative speed" will explode in an instant, just like the gunshot, and its rationality is precisely because of the editing mode and style of the film. Then, back to silence again. Perfect rhythm, brutal violence.

2. Unconventional editing

In our normal experience, the arm is raised, and it is about to strike. The editing a of a movie is often to show the entire action from the beginning to the end. b If you want to rely on the action to do the editing, the editing point should be above the node of the action. And the cut point of this shot, b , is not above the regular motion node. Say your cut point is either at the beginning of the action or at the end of the action. Either shot1 and 2 complete this action together, but here, the action abruptly stops after the "scissors" edited in the middle process, and the " complete action" that should have been "missing" in our experience is also "missing", resulting in It creates an abrupt, non-experienced feeling that creates a static-collision between shots. 1⃣️It is abrupt, anti-experience, and unconventional 2⃣️Static collision 3⃣️The sound of hitting, the sound is a potential connection point The logical relationship between shots.

    [A+] It seems to understand why Kurosawa once said to Kitano that the future of Japanese cinema depends on you, because Kitano really understands what a movie is. In watching the movie, I admired the gentle and lonely atmosphere created by Takeshi Kitano more than once in the movie. The sudden violence and the silence throughout the whole process have invisibly expanded this sense of alienation from the end of the road. "Fireworks in the Day" is so deeply influenced by this film, whether it is the unprepared shootout and death, or the deep-rooted loneliness and self-blame, they are all surprisingly consistent. But obviously, compared with the "entanglement" in "Fireworks", Takeshi Kitano in "Fireworks" is obviously more "indifferent". Kitano's violent aesthetics is very direct and concise in this film, but his unique black humor has made me worry more than once in the film. Hisaishi Joe's soundtrack is simply a match made in heaven, and it can express this brutal "gentleness at the end" when paired with the movie. Of course, what impressed me the most in the movie was Kitano's painting skills. Maybe he made this film to hold a "video exhibition".

    The various flashbacks at the beginning may feel a bit confusing, but it's actually a simple story. Tiehan's tenderness is the most overwhelming! Kitano also knows how he is the most handsome: he doesn't need to talk when he meets (he seems to have three lines in total before entering the second half) and he just confuses people.
