Let's talk about confession if I feel a little helpless

Because I didn't give a written review, I didn't intend to say anything in the film originally, although I had high expectations beforehand.
The film was well shot, of course, it was not as sophisticated as so many pretending to be criminals. As a movie of Tetsuya Nakajima, it is a masterpiece.
However, the biggest change the movie has made to the original is that it almost completely subverts Moriguchi's roots.
Confession, it was not originally about the heavy life that Nakajima wanted to express. It was just an extreme education problem in the eyes of a housewife writer.
It's that simple.

What kind of Moriguchi do you want to see?
Was it the mother in the movie who arbitrarily used others to avenge her daughter, but was touched by the sweetness of the child and ran to no one where she cried so much that her shoulders trembled? After a play of human nature, she ran to the little devil with tears in her eyes and said that this was the first step in your rebirth-the perverted girl who made you play?
It is a pity that Moriguchi does not have such weakness and malice.
The most exciting thing about Moriguchi Yuko is that she is so normal.

I have always liked Moriguchi, the precise and well-controlled Moriguchi, which resembles the reality and is not very human.
Even on the issue of revenge, she is not so obsessive as the movie expresses. She even deliberately uses Vittor to get the game out of the game, and plays the wicked man against Meiyue and the dead kid who admires her.
I very much doubt how such a person would fall in love with someone and then give birth to a child like Aimee, but her maternal love for Aimee is undoubtedly true.

In the final phone call of the original novel, Moriguchi had this confession:
I thought it would be over. Of course, neither the fear of death nor the bullying by your classmates can make me happy. Honestly, after the revenge, my hatred of you has not changed at all. I think even if you take a knife and smash your corpses into pieces, the result will not be different. I found it impossible to put everything in vain after revenge.
Even so, I thought I could suppress my feelings forcibly. Because although I will never forget my love for beauty, I don't plan to be entangled with people like you for the rest of my life. After I went to Sakuramiya, I wanted to start from the beginning. Before that, I hardly thought about what I could do for others, and I want to try to look in this direction in the future.

However, she was not able to start a new life immediately as she wished. The blood in the milk in the novel was not forcibly replaced by Sakuramiya, but was secretly replaced, and he didn't tell Moriguchi the truth until he died. Moriguchi, who thought his revenge was over, had to wait and see to find new opportunities. At this time, the unfortunate Werther appeared.
Witte, whether he admired Sakuramiya as a student, or taught his students later as a teacher, has never tried to understand the object he is facing, only pure self-satisfaction (Mizuki in the novel is to verify this. , Used the polygraph invented by Xiuzai on Witte). Then the servant also took the initiative to come to contact Moriguchi, so Moriguchi took advantage of this logically.

Moriguchi had no intention of hurting Mizuki, and even felt sorry for the Beibara bullying incident caused by his own plan. The section we met in the movie was completely extra.
Moriguchi didn't even plan to move the bomb to Watanabe at the beginning. This is what the original text says:
Before that, please let me tell you one thing.
After reading your love letter and disarming the bomb, I went to meet someone. Maybe because of sympathy for you. Maybe I want to reconsider what Sakuramiya told me. Perhaps it is because the beginning of the death of beauty is here.
You really want to meet someone you really want to meet, and I can easily see it anytime. I first showed her your love letter. Then tell her what you did to Aimi and the case of Shimomura classmates.
Do you want to know what she said?
-----I
didn't say to take the bomb here, so I couldn't guess whether Ms. Yasaka said something about her son that caused Moriguchi to do the next thing.

In the original book, Shuya's lie on the website is not that he left without seeing his mother, but that-"The next collective murder will be revenge for my mother. In order to ensure that she will know the crimes I committed, it's not like this. Can't do it."
Moriguchi's ridicule is not that this is my revenge for you, but that you yell that there is only a beloved mother in my world, but people who repeatedly use other people as victims are not qualified to be so proud. "This kind of selfish place is exactly the same as mother and child."

Do you think that Moriguchi in the original novel is more cool? laugh.

Many people have said that the movie is the ultimate metamorphosis, and there are also various pretending to see the importance of life and the aesthetics of violence from the confession. So how do you feel about the original Morikou that is completely rational, uses all available resources effectively, makes precise shots but does not intend to do unnecessary damage, and maintains a normal mentality at all times?
This is the Moriguchi Yuko I like.
I think Meiyue likes Moriguchi for the same reason.

In addition, let me add some significant differences between novels and movies.
One is the relationship between Shuya and Mizuki. In the suicide note published on the Internet, Xiuya stated that it was because Mizuki scolded her for mother-in-law, but that was not the cause of the incident, but Xiuya asked Mizuki why she hated Witt so much, and Mizuki replied that her first love was the boy B that triggered Shuya. The anger turned into anger. These two kids, maybe they really like each other. (And it seems to have done it? ==+)
One is about life. There is a lot of talk in the movie, but basically it is not in the novel. In the novel, Mizuki wrote to Moriguchi to ask only one question: What does the teacher think about his decision to sanction the two teenagers directly? I think the answer she was thinking, no matter what, would not be something like the weight of life.
One is about Naoki's mother. Watching movies may think that this is a mother who can only doting on her children, but the difference in the novel is also very big.
From a certain perspective, she and Werther are similar types, and they don't want to know the people they are facing, but the reasons are completely different. Werther is self-satisfied, and Naoki Niang is completely abiding by dogma. There is a section about her own growth environment in the novel, which I can understand after reading it.
