The feeling of watching this film is that as long as the style is unified, it is possible to create a plot that is separated from the sense of reality. I like the structure of this film, looking for realism in the absurd, and the alienation effect is excellent. This alienation effect is not only reflected in the plot, in the performance of the actors, in the segmented structure, and in the scheduling and editing of shots.
The summer of Kikujiro, the childlike Takeshi Kitano-sama, is full of absurd life philosophies. We are all children, and we are all looking for a dream that is selfish but cruel in reality. This journey is lonely. In the absurd tone, Takeshi Kitano wrote this lonely journey full of love and kindness.
