In comparison, I may prefer movies, after all, those exquisite pictures and music are difficult to present with words. But perhaps more importantly, these are two fundamentally different narrative structures. The narrative of the novel is more like a mystery film. It starts with a murder. Through the complicated dialogue on the BBS, the murderer finally surfaced, and then—as we often see in Detective Conan—started with him. An unbearable memory. The narrative in the movie may be more like a poem or music, except for the fission between heaven and hell at the age of 13 and 14, there is no obvious continuation and connection in time between the paragraphs of the story, or Said, our enthusiasm is submerged in these poetic details, and forget the relationship between each other. The only clue we can find is the parallel advancement between real life and virtual world.
A
non-Maria said that if the metaphor of color, then the 13-year-old is rosy, but now (14 years old) is gray. Felia is Renjian's pseudonym on the BBS about Lily Zhou hosted by him. At the age of 13, he met Hoshino. At the opening ceremony, Hoshino gave a speech as a representative of the freshmen. The color of this section seems to have been rosy (I am weak in color, I am not sure if it is rosy, but after the color treatment is no doubt), the sun shines in from the window, and the whole auditorium looks yellow and ambiguous.
It is said that Iwai Shunji chose Renami as the actor because he is too ordinary and can easily be submerged in the vast number of sentient beings. This is the characteristic of Renami. So when he met Hoshino who was excellent in both academic and quality, he undoubtedly became his "Kirisma". In the novel, his family background has a more detailed presentation: his parents are divorced, and the "father" who lives in his home is weak and incompetent, and will eventually endure the fate of being driven away. From this we know that in Renjian, the father's love is always missing. So can we make such a conjecture from the perspective of psychology: Hasami projected his father-like love to Hoshino? In Hasami's view, Hoshino is almost perfect: good grades, good sports, and he is humble and friendly to others. Although Hoshino has repeatedly argued that the first place in the mid-term test is just a rumor, Hasumi still persistently believes that this is nothing but his modesty. In fact, Hoshino and Renjian are just ordinary people, and there is a gloomy past that Renjian will endure in the future. It was Renjian herself who made him a god: he needed an object to rely on. Perhaps it is precisely this way that we can understand why when Hoshino later transformed into a "tyrant", Renjianhui still followed him and became a member of his "slave factory." As the original script of the movie, although the novel is different from the real movie, we can still believe that there is an inherent consistency between each other. If we admit this, it may be necessary to mention a detail that was hidden in the movie: Hasami’s former track team (changed to kendo in the movie) teammates persuaded him to leave Hoshino and return to the track team, and Renomi refused with silence. It was Lianjian that he chose this gloomy life, and he still needed the person who pushed him into the abyss, because the latter was the order and authority in his mediocre life. At the end of the story, at Lily Chou’s concert, Ren saw the blue cat who resonated with him in the virtual world, but the irony was that he turned out to be Hoshino: The Destroyer and the Destroyed have the same face . But this time, his nightmare did not end: Hoshino tore up his ticket, and he was close to the god Lily Zhou in his heart, but he couldn't see it. In the end, he stabbed Hoshino in the chest with a knife. Continuing the previous over-explanation, then maybe this is more like an Oedipus-style "father-killing" behavior: rebirth must start from subverting the original order (suddenly remembered that Hoshino also has no father, only one by Renjian Misunderstood his sister's beautiful mother. There is a detail in the movie that Renjian deliberately used his mother's shower gel when he first visited Hoshino's house in the bath, which seems to prove that this is a "father-killing" behavior. It's getting more and more unspecified, huh.)......
In the second
novel, Hoshino finally emerged from the cocoon after a long transformation. It was after the summer vacation, the day when school reopened, he knocked that arrogant teacher to the ground, and asked him to take off his clothes and learn how to plan a dog in the mud. From that day on, he was no longer that good student Shusuke Hoshino, and became a hideous devil. But the outbreak of this day can be traced back to their trip to Okinawa.
This part of Okinawa was all shot with DV. Perhaps the advantage of this is that the storytelling and the perspective of the characters in the film overlap: they are bystanders and witnesses of these events. Against the backdrop of the magnificent natural beauty, life seemed so small and fragile. Hoshino had touched the edge of death twice, and the college student who had been together for a long time died suddenly in a car accident. Hoshino stubbornly believed that they were cursed, and threw the money they had stolen into the vast ocean. But what is still hard to understand here is why this death experience, or more accurately, the fear of death, degenerates into a destructive force?
Before the college student passed away, he had a conversation with Renjian. He said: "For us, it may be a natural paradise, but for the animals that grow there, it can be said to be hell. However, nature is like this. There is a good side, but there are also places where life and death can compete." , They are sitting on the beach, facing the boundless sea, while an indigenous girl on the side is playing and singing an ancient song called "Aragus Ancient", long and low. Aragusgu is the name of an island, and it is said to be the most beautiful place. And then there was Hoshino's drowning. For the first time that death was presented so sharply before them, it naturally showed the fragility of human existence with its mighty power, and showed the absurdity and ridiculousness of human beings. People are mortal, and no one can break away from this fate. Ernst Becker said in "Rejecting Death" that the fear of death is the deepest anxiety in human existence, because the spirit of longing for immortality cannot get rid of the decayed body. But the giant net of society can conceal this fear and make people temporarily forget that they are on their way to the grave. So it was in this place far away from civilization that death lay in front of them in its natural posture, shockingly.
The fear of death can make a person go crazy, especially for Hoshino who has been bullied and believes he is cursed. Some people would succumb to this fate, but Hoshino chose to resist, and he became the master of the fate of others. Rebellion meant subverting the various orders and powers imposed on him, so knocking the teacher to the ground became a sign of this step he took, and then he let the people around him become his "slaves." And the most shocking part of the movie is that he asked Hasami to personally bring Yoko Kuno, whom they both had a crush on, and watched her being raped: He expelled the last piece of tenderness from the bottom of his heart... Maybe he thought it was. In this conquest and destruction, he possessed the same power as the creator, but behind his gloomy face, he still dragged the heavy shadow of death. Perhaps it was in this destruction that he was entangled with death, so we saw him in the wilderness, torn apart in Lily Zhou's music.

"Prison Break 2" has been broadcast to 16 episodes. The madman who is persistently going to Holland is trapped on a power tower. He said that he just wanted to find an exit, but in this maze-like world, where is the exit? When I saw this, I couldn't help but feel a little bit stunned. It was a lunatic who caught a glimpse of the truth behind this world woven with lies by us "normal" mediocrities. Under the persuasion of the agent Ma Hong, he jumped up, and the camera kept chasing his fall and fall, and finally was a close-up of his fall to the ground. In the place where the line of sight was missing, it was the oil painting with a windmill. , The background is soft sentimental music. This may be the lyrical way of the Americans, but in Iwai Shunji's shots, death has another temperament.
Shiori Tsuda also jumped from the tower, but we can't see her falling. The kite was flying in the blue sky. She said that she wanted to sit on the kite and fly. Then she stretched out and lay on the ground, like a kite falling to the ground. It was a overhead shot. From a long distance away, it was impossible to see her face when she died. This may be Shunji Iwai's usual method. For example, in "Dream Traveler", three mentally ill patients have been walking on the edge of the mental hospital and the real world, until one day they walked out of their own distance in search of the end of the world, and walked to the end of the world in their eyes: the vastness in front of them The boundless sea. But the world was not destroyed with it. Coco pointed his gun at himself, and with a "bang", the black feathers were flying all over the sky under the golden sunlight. The despair that has been brewing for so long in the movie has turned into such a beautiful scene. On the contrary, death is more beautiful than living.
The train drove Tsuda back and forth between the selling street and the empty home. Her fate seemed destined to sway between this single line. For the first time, she trampled the "earned" money into pieces, and desperately washed her body with water, but none of this helped to change the fact that she could no longer control her body. She desperately kicked the "escort" Renami, but how could this cowardly man shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving her? Gradually, she has become accustomed to all this, so she can only accept someone who has sex with her, but cannot accept a true suitor. When she jokingly told Renjian, you come to protect me. And Lian Jian's hesitation made it difficult for her to conceal the loss in her heart. They are still simple children, but they have carried too many burdens. They have nowhere to escape in this gloomy world.
Maybe Kuno saved her—if death could be regarded as saving. Kuno Ricoh headed back to school and declared his rebirth and resistance in silence. This was enough to make those who tortured her panic. Those who used to flaunt her might not match her little silence, and they fell apart in mutual suspicion. But Tsuda chose another way. If life itself is hopeless, then death can be used to resist. Death refuses rebirth, but it also refuses destruction...
