Takeshi Kitano's film "Doll" is full of Japanese style and is a typical Japanese film. The slow and long shots, the colors of the blockbusters, the silent protagonist, the expression of the plot is almost entirely driven by the pictures, all kinds of poignant imagery, the end of death... At the
beginning of the film, the hero and heroine are wearing red threads around their waists, walking in the cherry blossoms. In the blooming park, in contrast to the laughter of pedestrians, the indifference on the faces of the hero and heroine, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, but the two people do not appreciate it, just walk mechanically.
In the whole film, they go from spring to winter, walk through mountains, rivers and seas, and walk through white snow, but they are all silently silent, walking mechanically with no expression on their faces, such a romantic thing as a couple wandering around the world. It seems that it has just become a way to continue life. Even if the two people who used to talk about everything and were intimate, were bound by the red thread, they were separated by an irreparable huge rift, and their backs seemed to be manipulated by fate. I.
As they walked along the way, they also passed other people's stories, the old woman who was eagerly waiting, the traffic policeman who blinded the singer for the singer. Everyone's love has unspeakable bitterness, but at the most gorgeous moment of love, it immediately returns to silence, just like cherry blossoms drifting with the wind at the most beautiful moment, bringing the audience a Zen feeling of facing death - either The ultimate blooming flowers, or the eternal silence and silence, between the two, Yamato's aesthetic art chooses either one extreme or the other.
