"Interior Design"

Tokyo has plenty of rain. After several days of flooding, there have been many drowning incidents. What's more, some citizens have changed their bodies and become amphibious creatures based on genetic changes in their bodies.

Changes in the environment make people incarnate into incredible objects, especially in the bizarre Tokyo. A couple drove to meet their friend Mingmei in the torrential rain. They couldn't find a suitable rental unit and wanted to live in a friend's house temporarily. They were parasites living in a friend's den. Ming is a new director, waiting with anticipation for the release of his self-directed and self-directed works. There is not much money left in his wallet. He and his girlfriend Hiroko are looking for a job in the metropolis. They are applying for a gift wrapping position in a gift shop. Ming passed the packaging test; Hiroko lost his younger brother, Ming has a low salary, but in order to earn living expenses, even if he did a job that buried his talents and ambitions, he kept his responsibility. My friends who live temporarily closed their doors for work, everyone lives in Tokyo, Xianzi has nothing to do, cuts out magazine pictures from time to time, covers his ears with his hands behind his back, and doesn't want to hear Mingmei's boyfriend taunting and interrupting the restless couple who came all the way to get together.

Ming's film was scheduled to premiere in a theater dedicated to showing pornography and gay men, and the response was acceptable. Hiroko, who got the opportunity to discuss cooperation with the filmmakers, silently handed drinks to the moviegoers behind the scenes, was the most inconspicuous. She saw that Mingmei seemed to be gay. Friends flirting; hate Ming's often inappropriate fantasy stories; opening the door to find a dead cat when visiting a rented apartment with a real estate agent, Tokyo's alienation and silence, witnessing the death of a single person, plus Hiroko Li Who is the only one who shoots offbeat questions and enjoys operating the smoke spraying equipment at the premiere, complaining that the manager asked him to pack more than ten pieces of gift paper in a short period of time. The labor is small but there is sustenance, and he will not be called a parasite that does not work in production. Ming is getting farther and farther away, what about her? She can't pay the fine, and she falls back to begging the junkyard staff to find the towed car and take away the camera equipment, she is doing a thankless job, and it is Ming who is behind 's virtuous girlfriend. One night, Hiroko found a big hole in her chest. She ran to the street and turned into a wooden chair. She was still an indispensable pillar for others. The old woman who was waiting for the bus at the covered bus stop could not sit on the seat with the sundries. In order to become a supplementary wooden chair; the music creator picked up the chair and went home. He leaned on the wood-grained branch like Hiroko's skin to write staves and perform trio concerts. Wooden chairs will not take the initiative to ask people to sit. A thing that demands attention and is willing to drop the weary makeshift shelters of the big cities. Ming wants to make a name for himself in Tokyo and bury his head in his film career. Because of Tokyo's sophistication and sophistication, his lover is forced to break up. The man continues to create images and sticks to his dream; , Hiroko, who others will not make irresponsible remarks about not going to work, she has become a seat for people, experiencing the joys and sorrows of others, becoming a leaning on others, but failing to become a pillar of Ming.

The last farewell letter written by the wooden chair is not to blame Ming, but to ask him what he is doing? I hope his film career will develop better. The letter is already a letter of love for the previous generation. The sensuality is brought to the world to rely on, without asking for anything in return, but only for personal warmth.

"Rubbish"

A foreigner who lives in Tokyo's underground waterway lifts the cover, climbs out of the ground, and heads toward the bustling street, knocking down men holding leafy plants, licking the arms of beautiful Tokyo girls, crying babies, and grabbing Passers-by devoured banknotes. No one knew his origin. News reports called him [The Sewer Freak].

The monster's habitat is in the dark and filthy underground world, and the food he likes to chew is a monogram. Flowers are the imperial emblem of Japan, a symbol of dignity and light; the Japanese use yellow imperial flowers to mean that the sun will always shine on the Japanese Empire, eccentrics devour petals in the waste soil with insufficient light, and rust-stained flowers stand not far away. During the Warring States period, tanks and vehicles were sluggish, and the flag of the Great Japanese Army with red oil had already been painted with yellow mud to become the dying soul of the defeated country. A character chrysanthemum was bitten by a one-eyed and disheveled weirdo. It is the weathering of the surrounding World War II military items to explain the economic invasion of Japan by foreign powers and the devastation of the nobles.

The geek threw grenades in the urban area that had not yet been deployed in the crypt, killing many citizens. The gunpowder buried deep in the ground is the remaining evidence of the Sun Empire, which advocated the Great East Co-Prosperity Sphere, to launch a war and defeat the country. After decades of humiliation, it is a wooden box weapon that has been abandoned in the ground for a long time, completely forgotten. The monster's killing action shocked Japan. He used the weapons made by the Japanese army to attack the local people's taboo against defeat. Even if the police arrested the madmen, the citizens were not one-sided and asked the government to impose the death penalty. Calls for judgment and release came one after another, and there were even shirts and ceramics with portraits of geeks on the market. His appearance, harassing the public, and killing citizens became a social phenomenon. Forget the bloody evil deeds of the country in World War II; the other is that the sudden death of one's own family awakens the guilt of committing the massacre of the people of other countries, bravely put on the T-shirt with the head of the weirdo, raised the [Save the weirdo] ] banners, showing that they were reviled by the opposing masses, still not afraid to admit their mistakes, and asked the country to bear the painful lesson that the war has a cause and a reward.

The close-up appearance of the weirdo appeared on the U.S. banknote after landing in Japan, superpower! Prepare to accept the trial of the underground weirdo for launching the Iraq War!

"Shake Tokyo"

An [otaku] who can sleep in the toilet has not stepped out of the house for ten years. His father sent a letter of living expenses and greetings. Later, the money was sent. The son's vocation, the son will not reply to the letter, and he has not stepped out of the house to contact the outside world.

His son's home is in good order, and he has a strong affection for dead things: the corners are full of take-out pizza boxes that have accumulated over the years, neatly stacked; the library is very rich, and his knowledge is obtained by reading thousands of words, a man's sight He likes to touch weeknight meals and books of all kinds that won't give you weird looks. Otaku people hate making contact with people's eyes, the orange-yellow color in the house is soft, and the light emitted by the objects is gentle and pleasant. It will not be the man who resolutely gives up the harsh light of the outside world, and the sweat that evaporates from his body. Money, it's normal to take the pizza box with one hand, but in a short time, I can see that the filming seems to have used the calm method of "The Seventh Continent", the difference is the application of light: the director used natural light when the hand of the otaku handed over the banknotes It shone on the hands of the deliveryman and the man, implying that although the man hadn't gone out for a long time, the light was warm and the man would still go out to breathe and face the sun.

An earthquake, the temperamental female pizza delivery girl fainted, the man finally saw the real face of the girl, he glimpsed several different patterns embroidered on the deliveryman's arm, the characteristics of the otaku's focus on the subject showed, he was in the thick She found the meaning of the word in the dictionary, and then pressed the [button] of the label [Coma] with trepidation. The girl woke up with several strands of hair standing on top of her hair. After observing the man's home furnishings, she pointed out that the pizza box was wrongly placed up and down, The girl's meticulousness touched him deeply. The girl didn't deliver food anymore, the otaku decided to step out of the threshold in order to meet the beautiful woman again, the light filled the edge of the wooden frame, the dazzling white light was the nightmare of a man wearing a white work uniform ten years ago to block the rays with his palm, now because he is looking for a goddess who resigned, He wanted to step out of the protective color, which was as soft as egg yolk, to fight against the strong sunlight. He kept running. Along the way, he saw a group of otakus in white clothes, some of whom were young and old, and white clothes were their place to hide. At home, facing limited space, and touching objects that will not criticize or ridicule, but will only be touched and manipulated, it is the pure national border of the ethnic group. After an earthquake, the ethnic groups could not keep the temple of the soul, and they rushed to take refuge in the streets. The pizza was not delivered by the deliveryman, but the robot was banned. Human beings have no ability to stand in society. There are more and more autistic people in the household. Love, the most basic element of human beings, moved the otaku, so he forcibly pulled the girl out, pressed the [Love] skin tag, the muscles sank slightly, the earthquake started again, they What is waiting for love? Or the same sick who are trapped in a room? There is no answer in the movie, and some are the miracle of the otaku who rescued another of the same kind and got out of the predicament by themselves.
