The road that can't go down

This is supposed to be a science fiction film with a unique artistic temperament. The opening of a fixed long lens conceiving Asahi, a symbol of loneliness and solitude (film basis). The appearance of the second character goes against the original intention of the red sun, concealing the director's unreasonable harassment (one person cannot expand), and has no choice but to enter the Hollywood mode.
Before the appearance of the second role, the protagonist's thoughts and desires were implemented, but the director did not pursue it, digging out internalized realism and turning to a modelized road. Personally, I feel that the protagonist should be a person with noble morals, so that the development will describe the philosophy of science fiction more effectively.
In the end, a nervous breakdown suddenly occurred, imitating "Four Hundred Strikes" to the end, committing suicide at the beach, and disappearing into the night at sunset, or setting foot on a lone boat, driving side by side with the sunset, and disappearing on the horizon. The expression of this film thinks that it is better to lean towards soft science fiction.
