The story in "Huahuo" is probably a policeman who resigned, taking responsibility for the death and disability of his colleague on himself. In addition, his son died a few years ago and his wife was terminally ill. There is almost no love in life. Kitano's reticence in it has made people feel how depressing this character is. He seems to be desperate and hopeless. In this case, he chose to rob, borrow usury, and kill (the underworld) in order to spend the rest of his life with his wife.
The Huahuo movie is the movie after Kitano Takeshi's car accident. Perhaps he thought a lot about death in his hospital bed. Japanese scholars like to talk about philosophy, especially about life, life. This is a common feature of Orientals, whether Chinese, Indians, or Japanese people like to talk about life. The Japanese have a very special concept of death, which is found in many countries, but it seems to be more obvious in Japan, which is to despise death. The Japanese don't seem to regard death as a very negative thing, but rather as an aesthetic. It seems to be a good thing to give your life. The most obvious is that the samurai in Japan cut the abdomen and the soldiers cut the abdomen. China also has such a thing. For the country, it jumped into the river and rescued the timber of several countries and died. hero. The home of a primary school student in North Korea caught fire. She went back to rescue Kim Il-sung's photos and sacrificed her life. It was also a hero.
This kind of contempt for life is justified, how did these malformed concepts of death come into being? Why do people die for certain beliefs, why do samurai cut their belly. Why is survival in nature supposed to be the most fundamental meaning, but in humans it becomes oneself to seek death.
Perhaps because death has been painted with too much meaning, death should not be meaningful, it should only be the end of life. We feel that death is a very important matter. It is unfathomable, it cannot be mastered by humans, and it seems to be as mysterious as another world that we cannot know, so death is given a lot of meaning. To smear death into sacrifice, greatness, sublime, honor. Smearing death as self-liberation, smearing death as revenge or protest is a misinterpretation of death, etc. Make people misunderstand death. People think that the sacrifice of life is glorious, so that people are not afraid of death, and there are successors to sacrifice. So there are so many people who are willing to sacrifice their lives and commit suicide.
We should not suggest or tell people that sacrificing their lives is worthy of encouragement, nor should we tell others that suicide is relief and protest. At least it doesn't have to be that kind of meaning, it may just be futile or farce.
Another is that people themselves adapt to face death, and despise death. Maybe people are living in a difficult time, the situation is difficult. When death becomes easy again, and perhaps oneself may die at any time, people just go back and adapt to it. Make it less terrible, just like Lu Xun's writing in the past when Chinese people saw people killing their heads, and people who saw it would smile with satisfaction. These people live in a world where their heads may be beheaded at any time, and they will always adapt to it. And when it is undeniable that it is a major event, go back and explain it. Masochism, a person who has been in a abused environment for a long time and wants to survive, deforms his own psychology, completely changes his own psychology, and regards being abused as something to enjoy. People's psychological mechanism is to adapt to the environment at any time, and concepts can be changed.
Back in the movie, the policeman played by Takeshi Kitano is a man who despise death and choose to die for something that he thinks is worthwhile. Give your own death a meaning, for this meaning you can give your life and burn yourself like a firework. Like a firework, all the energy and the chips are spent in an instant. I don’t know if this choice is right or wrong. What I can only say is that this is Japanese culture, a kind of culture that spontaneously burns something like a flower. It is the same as a samurai in essence, which can be summed up in one sentence: Choose to die for something that you think is worthwhile. Kitano in the movie is another form of abdomen.
Kitano is cold, clumsy, and humorous in the movie.
Takeshi Kitano is also freehand, thinking.
Kitano's movies like blue very much, often with the blue sea as the background.
