The evil child in the eyes of the evil child

I don't want to speculate about Matsumoto's creative intentions, I just want to feel the evil boy in my own eyes. In the name of an evil boy.

The black crows flying out of the sun led a set of long shots, allowing us to see the panoramic view of the city called "Treasure Town" and the dilapidated alleys.
Immediately felt a sense of deja vu, Yan Town of "Swallowtail Butterfly". The same old house, the same dilapidated. But there is a very different feeling. It is the colorful and gorgeous clock tower and the children's playground on the rooftop. "You can call it a fairy tale world."
The vision of the city reminds me of Tokyo, from the coastline to the horizon, filled with steel and concrete, the city, the hustle and bustle. Many billboards with Chinese characters written on the street, perhaps, like "Ghost in the Shell", have been shot in China.
This should be a very simple and peaceful city, two children can be kings, friendly police, although there are still inevitable indifferent citizens.
Calmness is no longer the key word of the times, and the people who disturb it are finally here.

The scenes of chasing and fighting are light and easy to stop. Violence not for violence. Fighting, but it is not naive justice that triumphs over evil, because I have not seen justice and evil at all.
Bleeding and screaming, what I see is the simplicity of the times and inconsistent with the times, the collision of darkness and sunlight, dancing frantically because of loneliness.
The theme is not war and destruction, but urban phobia, schizophrenia, and loneliness.
"My site", this is a bad saying, this is a sign of being swallowed by the city. Xiao Hei can't do without Xiao Bai. If there was no Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei would have forgotten what is good, Xiao He had already become a walking dead, Xiao He had already died. Xiaobai, a rare and precious existence, an untainted soul. He is dependent on Xiao Hei. Without Xiao Hei's maintenance, there might not be Xiao Bai's innocence, "relief and peace of mind", it takes two people together to be at ease. When the companions who grew up together saw them parting, I wondered if they would be telepathic. Sure enough, when Xiao Hei was about to be disillusioned by another individual in his heart, Xiao Bai would be in pain and cry.
Schizophrenia, black and white, suddenly discovered that there is another person who can control himself. Loneliness and depression, perhaps only killing can be dispatched. Xiao Hei is the first protagonist of the film because he is more like me. I need pure beauty and I need Xiao Bai.
Reinforced concrete is lonely.
In my heart, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are alone. Protecting the innocence and being protected by the innocence.

Kimura is dead, the new killer, the city is still a city after all. Fairy tale, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, let's go to the blue seaside to find a house painted blue.

Suzuki is dead, he is doomed to tragedy because he is too nostalgic.
