Rewatch. You say, people, what is the point of living a life of mediocrity like this?

[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".
