To be honest, this movie is quite tear-jerking, at least it fired a super tear-jerker at me. At the end of the movie, especially the male protagonist's wife said thank you first and sorry after that, it was really hard to hold back.
In addition, the soundtrack of "Hanawa" is still Joe Hisaishi...
Let me introduce the plot first, that is, a male protagonist is a policeman. He lost his son in his early years, and his wife was terminally ill. His partner was shot during the case and his lower body was paralyzed. Another young colleague also died of the shooting. He finally chose to rob the bank , distributed the money to everyone, paid off the loan shark, and took his wife on the final journey...
To be honest, Takeshi Kitano's movies, I don't have any experience, I really can't understand it, because Takeshi Kitano knows too much about the shit of life. So watching his movies, the male protagonists are taciturn. I have said it many, many times. In this world, there are too few emotions that can be conveyed in words.
For example, in "Journey to the West", when Zhijunbao is in human form, he is very lip-smacking, so we don't think he has true feelings, but when he becomes Monkey King, when he begins to deny his feelings or be silent, Instead, we will feel the kind of emotion between him and Fairy Zixia.
Takeshi Kitano also knows that violence is an urge that cannot be concealed in the bones of human beings, so in his films, he basically does not talk too much, just go straight to work, there is no truth, goodness and beauty, and there is no inexplicable crime.
Takeshi Kitano knows even more that the most common wishes are the most difficult things to realize in life.
As my title says, you say this wish is complicated?
It looks so simple, right?
But even if it's not as bad and sad as it is in the movie, how many of us can really do it?
If there were really many people who could do it, there would not be so many movies that tell such stories.
The male protagonist's partner was still happily chatting with the child one moment ago, but the next moment he was abandoned by his wife and child because his lower body was paralyzed. From a realistic point of view, we can't blame his wife. Whoever gets married and has children is not for the sake of To form a complete family that can take care of each other, the other party is suddenly disabled, not only can't take care of himself, but he has to give more care, I believe many, many people can't accept it.
So in fact, if we think about it carefully, we will find that not only this partner fits my title, but his wife also fits... This is life, sometimes, it's just who has the worst luck, everyone is a victim, Blaming each other only deepens the damage.
In the movie, do you say no luck?
The colleague Nakamura, who survived the shooting, was lucky. He escaped the fatal injury first, without any disability, and gained true love during his recovery.
But Nakamura also has troubles. His troubles are actually the male protagonist. He has a deep friendship with the male protagonist, but he is also a policeman.
The male protagonist's wife is also one of the most painful people. She is terminally ill, and she is mentally desperate. She has an extremely busy husband who can't accompany her often at the beginning of the movie until the male protagonist loses the police. It was only after she took her on a journey that she robbed a large sum of money and showed her smile for the first time.
Her smile may not be because her husband finally has time to accompany her, but because she has probably guessed something. After all, she has been married for so many years. (Being in hospital all the year round, I can't stand the working class of any country), I also unloaded the burden in my heart, knowing that this is the last fireworks, so it is better to set off happily.
At the end of the movie, the thanks and apologies she said were the gratitude and apologies suppressed by the pain.
No one can fight the pain of despair unless one chooses to "truly" let go of hope and life. The short-lived happiness of the two couples is because they have already expected the ending. This trip to the Northland will be the end of eternity, so they can unload the burden, feel and enjoy.
Because they both know that if one day, the wife dies, or the male protagonist is caught in prison, and there is no one to share each other's pain and happiness, then life will be completely meaningless.
To be honest, people who can understand this tragic movie should watch it carefully. Anyway, I listened to the theme song and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Finally, a lot of people may not understand the translation of "Fireworks". If it is translated from the original Japanese, it should mean fireworks, which means that after the male protagonist police let life bloom like fireworks, it disappears. the beauty of the surrounding moment.
