Let's start the discussion about whether the protagonist's wife is dead or not.
Many people are sure that the protagonist's wife (Hanako) is dead, and many people say that she is not dead. But in fact, neither side can produce conclusive evidence.
1. Is the woman who was finally dismembered the protagonist's wife?
The protagonist hires someone to see if the corpse is his wife. In fact, as long as the hirer wants to make money from him, he or she will say that the corpse is the woman in the photo. Therefore, it is completely impossible to see whether Hanako died here.
2. Whether the murderer was the fish seller who matched his wife as a brother and sister.
Judging from his hairstyle and clothing, it should be. Of course it may not, and it is less likely.
3. Even if the fish seller is the one who killed, the deceased must be his wife? Can
Hanako be called brother and sister to this fish seller, but maybe Caozi and Shuzizi can also be called brother and sister to this fish seller? Do you know how many good sisters there are?
4. Whether the murder is before or after the protagonist finds the fish seller. It is
assumed that the murderer is Hanako, and the murderer is the fish seller.
If people were killed before the protagonist found the fish seller, do you think it would be so easy for a murderer to give him an address where the victim once lived when the protagonist found the fish seller? There are pictures of the protagonist's daughter in that room, and there are obvious signs of quarrels or fights. Even if this room is not the first murder scene, there are still many traces that can reveal the facts. Do you think a criminal in a murder case would do this? Is it easy to give someone such an address?
If the protagonist is killed after he finds the fish seller, then the person who was killed may still be Hanako. If this is the case, the film will be too sad. Maybe the protagonist will not kill the fat man at night (of course the man did not kill him, but He is still stupidly obsessed with chopping a thumb and going back), has been guarding the house, still able to meet his wife, and still able to save his wife. . . . Of course this assumption is very unlikely.
5. To sum up, it is really inconclusive whether it is his wife who died or not. This is where the movie is good. Makes you want to explore the truth, to argue, and to reminisce.
Although it has been two years since the film, I took it out to watch it again recently. After watching it, I started to wonder about the 60,000 yuan owed by the protagonist at the beginning. Will the two loan sharks let his daughter go? I can't even think about it. . . .
