Fireworks

Life drives people to a desperate situation, a journey with no return. One small detail is very touching. Takeshi Kitano covered his wife with thick clothes at the hotel. His wife was lying on her side, with slow tears on the sides of her eyes, and the two were speechless. But touching. Finally, the wife who is running out of time gave her husband a sentence of "Thank you, thank you for everything", and the music rang, breaking the heart. Life is so difficult. Two gunshots ended everything and the pain.

Kitano takes the screenwriter, director, and starring role in the film. This is a wizard. The silent and speechless man with facial paralysis he plays, breaking through the shackles of the system and reaching the depths of morality, half as flowery and half as fire, beautiful and dazzling flowers and burning fire symbolize love and violence. Fragments are broken and repeated, but the core of the film is complete and impeccable. We always feel nothing for the suffering of others.

    Kitano is not really a great director, but the unique shots, editing, use of children's visual elements in all his films, his personal performance and Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack give his films a strong personal style. In the final analysis, his films always show childishness, warmth, disdain for the world and a kind of distorted optimism under the appearance of stupid, rude, and desperate, and this film is no exception.
