I don't know if you have ever thought about "How old is the best time to leave this world when you are yourself".
I have thought about it and often think about it. I don't think it is the right of the patient to think about the "timing of death", but something that everyone should plan well.
The film is still based on the story of the gang. The gang leader Muragawa played by Kitano Takeshi was sent to Okinawa to help fight the opposing gang because of a poor relationship with the boss. However, the arrival of Murakawa intensified the confrontation and triggered conflict. Murakawa and some of his hands went down to a hut by the sea to take refuge.
During the asylum period, several older boys played childhood games on the beach. However, the gang boss had already conspired to eradicate his power, and eventually they had to face death.
The film opens with a painting full of death breath. The background is a blood-red sky and black clouds. The protagonist is a fish pierced by a harpoon. It directly illustrates the theme-"death".
I like the rhythm of this movie very much. The "Sonata" like the title is divided into three movements, which are carried out in a fast-slow-fast manner, combined with the music of Master Joe Hisaishi. It really gives me a very perfect view. Shadow experience.
Especially in the part of "Adagio", I was even more impressed with the film. Muragawa, who is enveloped in the breath of death, and his subordinates spend leisurely days at the beach is really a strong contrast, but in these In the innocent game, Kitano also adds the element of "death" from time to time, as if telling the viewer that we are accepting the threat of "death" all the time.
What was particularly impressive was the conversation between Murakawa and a woman:
"Woman: It's not easy to shoot and kill calmly; to kill calmly, you can calmly face death. I like brave people like you best.
Murakawa : If I’m brave, I don’t need to carry a gun.
Woman: But you can shoot calmly.
Muragawa: I shoot because I’m afraid.
Woman: But you’re not afraid of death. Muragawa: If you’re
too afraid of death, you will change I want to die."
Just a few words pierced the image created by the "strong people", who need to make themselves stronger because they are afraid of death, so that they can break free from the shackles of death.
Many times, they are preemptive, just don't want the other party to have the opportunity to discover their own weaknesses and weaknesses, so they roar a few times to let the other party retreat, and all this is actually based on their own fear. I once felt that I was not afraid of death but could face the matter of "death" calmly, so I just feel that the end of life will come at any time, so I don’t have to have too much grudges with the people and things I come into contact with. Love and hatred; but as I grow older, I have experienced similar feelings of near death, and finally realized that "I am afraid of death", and at this stage, I, who seem to always compromise with "death", turned out to be afraid of it. A pole, and began to want to go to destruction.
"Death threat" is very much like a mountain in life, high and low, just like the scenes in this film. Sometimes people fall into a trough and they are almost about to be killed by death, and sometimes they are in a good state. At that time, people can stay away from the threat of "death consciousness".
But speaking of it, the matter of "death" is actually full of contradictions to people; when you are in a trough, people will want to put the handle of death in the hands of others, hoping that he can give it a happy life, on the contrary Yes, when in a good state, people will want to control the right to death, but in the final analysis, unless you really fall into the deepest point of the trough, death is usually resigned to fate, whether you are afraid or not, almost all There is no right to control death.
However, if you are "too afraid of death", people will become as strong as a rebound from a trough. "At best, you will die anyway." Something like this will probably pop up in your heart, and you will unconsciously move towards it. Destroy one way.
So, I suddenly felt like the fish in that painting. It was probably a fish pierced by a harpoon. I would live in this world alive or not. "At best, I would die anyway." Such words often popped up, and then desperately chose the option that was originally afraid of being half-dead, only to find that it was not so terrible, and gradually used "death" as a kind of spiritual talisman, and continued to move towards death.
However, people who live with the idea of "living" and those who live with the idea of "death" are not much different in substance. They all end up dead anyway.
"Death is a fate."
In the last battle, Murakawa went to the meeting alone with a rifle in his hand, killing in the dark. In that short time and space, Murakawa was expressionless and let the automatic rifle shoot wildly; "Life is so fragile, and death is actually everyone's. Fate," Murakawa seemed to understand this truth. Early in the morning, he drove to the beach, just like the ending in his own fantasy, with the gun against his temple and ending himself.
"Sonata" can be said to be Kitano’s own view of fate, and it just so happens that I just agree with his view of fate, which may not be the same as yours, but I highly recommend you to watch this movie, after all, no matter The plot, actors, pictures, and soundtrack are all great enjoyments for me, I hope you don’t miss it.
