What is the color tone of the movie "Fireworks"? The two desperate gunshots at the end of the film may be an answer. In this movie, Takeshi Kitano frequently uses gunshots as many times as the colorful landscape paintings. The theme "violence and love" is emphasized to the greatest extent in this movie, just like his fascination with red and blue. Perhaps this is the same emotion as the director himself, with distinct loves and hates.
In Kitano Takeshi’s other movies, we can often find large-scale blue and sea scenes, Masao’s blue winged backpack in "Summer of Kikujirou", blue "Angel Bell", and "The Quiet Sea That Summer" The large seascapes in "" are more blue in the illustrations in the movie.
But he also prefers red, which is most obvious in "Bad Boy's Sky". Two good friends wore red and blue boxing suits and faced each other, which left a deep impression. I also noticed the last attire of the protagonist’s wife in "Fireworks", the red hat and blue dress, and the blood throughout his movie. I believe that the use of these colors must not be accidental. The visual conflict between red and blue color blocks is just like the emotion of fireworks, which is a fierce rendering of each other.
And what should be reconciled in it should be white, Kitano's facial paralysis (forgive me, I even think his facial paralysis is just right and wonderful), and the usual slow motion (of course, there is Hisaishi Joe's soundtrack). Recall, where is white used in the movie? Snow. It must be the last snow where the policeman and his wife were exposed. Of course, one can also think of the snow painted by his friend. After all, the red-blue collision is too intense, and the "Fireworks" in our eyes is mostly soothing and peaceful.
In the film, the inner world of the police, played by Takeshi Kitano, is definitely the biggest focus of this movie. For nasty loan sharks and unpleasant things, always use the most violent ways to resist, such as killing, such as robbery, or even piercing others. Eyes. As his friend said, "He always releases all his bullets when others' bullets are empty." At the same time, he was kind and lovely. He sent berets and painting materials to depressed friends. He was bombed by dumb cannons to please his wife. He even hit the big bell of sacrifice to make his children happy. You can still find some small humor and warmth in this tragedy... If you think about it carefully, most of his violent resistance is for his friends and lovers, not "evil" in the true sense.
At the same time, my friend’s paintings full of childishness are all testimony to the theme of Takeshi Kitano’s "Love and Life": the film uses a lot of freeze-frame and slow motion to show these pictures, and I can’t help even seeing these pictures. Pieces of screenshots... Pieces of real objects are transformed into pictures, once again showing the director's rich and childlike imagination. Those pictures are so beautiful.
He wants innocence, he wants nature, and he wants truth, goodness and beauty. No matter who destroys it, he will strike hard at all costs.
Yes, in order to guard the peaceful blue, he can spray the bloodiest red. In a way, it is similar to a character like Superman Spiderman, but what he wants to protect is a more idealistic world. So when the protagonist Yamada was discovered by his teammates as the murderer, he didn't give up. In the last few minutes of watching the sea with his wife, he ended the lives of himself and his wife with two horrifying gunshots. He used the most beautiful processing method, but also the most idealistic method.
Otherwise, like us, Kitano didn't want the police to catch him. Has Yamada ever been scared? When has his resistance stopped? Has his fearlessness ever failed? Even if I self-destruct, I don’t want to destroy my ideals. This is the most idealistic ending. This is Kitano Takeshi. He holds the handle of the gun, his face is expressionless and unrelenting. He is the most beloved killer.
When the red fireworks bloom in the sky, it is the most loyal patron saint of the blue sea and sky.
