Let's start with "3-4x10 months". First of all, this is a strange name. And its other name is much more prosaic, "Boiling Point," which is the second film directed by Takeshi Kitano. In some passages, there are still traces of a local movie, such as the scene on the beach. In fact, we can more or less feel this atmosphere in all of Kitano's movies. This can also be said to be the reason that Takeshi Kitano is deeply rooted in Japan. Japan is a country around the sea, so beaches should be familiar to a Japanese director. In addition, we can also see many things about Japan in his movies. Surfing, baseball, and puppet shows are of course indispensable. There are also triads.
"Boiling Point" is still a man's story. From Kitano Takeshi's movies, we can feel that he is a more patriarchal person. This is also the epitome of gender in Japan. In "Boiling Point", the baseball coach's statement about several girlfriends and Kitano's constant beating of the woman who followed him and watching her make love with his men are proof. And here is another interesting example. I have talked to jf. Basically, the naked scenes in the movie will not show the male genitals. If the director appears to be gay, of course, except for the AV, which is good at naked genitals. Men are still the masters of this society. I don't mean that women are not important. On the contrary, they are very important and indispensable. Domination is not necessarily the most important thing, and the truth during this period is left to philosophers and sociologists to consider. Regarding male power is not the main expression of "Boiling Point", nor is it the main expression of Kitano Takeshi's films, but in order to study a director, I will not miss a trace of details. In fact, this book is not used to write "Boiling Point".
The beginning of the story is a figure in the dark. It is too dark. If you turn on the light and look at it, you can't even find anyone there. This reminds me of Cai Mingliang's father and son in the sauna. Hitchcock once said that night exaggerates everything. In fact, night is not needed, darkness is enough. What are the people doing in the dark? shit. Perhaps only Takeshi Kitano will shoot such a scene, and at the end, I will let you know that this is what this movie is going to say, life is like shit, some people have constipation, some people have diarrhea, we have to worry about cystitis, we We have to worry about accidentally splashing on our bodies when the shit falls into the shit pit. Kitano is always able to deal with disgusting scenes that are usually considered humorous and interesting. "Boiling Point" also has a scene about excretion. It is his other "Rhapsody of Sex" where the protagonist is excreting on the beach without toilet paper and pulling his pants is funny. Go to the beach and squat down to wash. In fact, "Rhapsody of Sex" also contains a large amount of exaggerated excrement, and of course the irony is even greater.
The characters in "Boiling Point" are the kind of dull and incompetent people, and this is also the character that Kitano likes to portray. Being dull has the advantage of being dull. There is a saying in our rural areas that "the honest people don't care", which means that once the honest people start to blast, they must be more terrifying than the usual flaunting people. "Mugu" is actually my guess based on the pronunciation, and it should mean nothing, because it is not easy to change the dialect to Mandarin. The language has developed to this day, and many people only look at the pronunciation and meaning, which can no longer be written. Up. The so-called "Honest Man Gu" also paved the way for Kitano's cold violence. So there was a tank truck that the protagonist fought hard to crash into the building.
Such a dull young man is obviously a member of the disadvantaged group of society. He has a job at a gas station. He is young but definitely not young, but he has never dated a woman. The only entertainment to join an amateur baseball team is because he is dumb. He was rejected and reprimanded for the sake of his life. He had no fun in life. He also worked hard, swinging a hundred times a day to try to play a good baseball, and it was effective, but because of the sudden success, he lost the good situation and was also criticized. Of course Not desperate, he also has two friends who sell locomotives, and he also met a beautiful girl in a coffee shop. But life is like this. When everything develops in a good direction, there will be sudden disasters. Maybe it is happiness and sorrow. He got into the underworld and made a friend. The depression held in my heart for a long time needs to be vented, but it is obviously difficult for a person without the slightest amount of entertainment. He doesn't like talking, he doesn't smoke or drink, he doesn't write some boring words like me, he takes revenge like a gun.
The middle class of the underworld played by Kitano Takeshi is also a vulnerable group. There is a boss who oppresses him, and a confidant and a woman follow him. He suspects that they have a leg between them. He wants to watch them make love and turn suspicion into reality. Everyone says that this is an era of loss of trust. In fact, trust has never existed, so how can it be said that it is lost. In fact, a scene of sex is very beautiful, you can see the funny, you can see the tragic. When his confidant was halfway through having sex with his woman, he pushed the woman away, and put his confidant under his body and fucked. The Chinese subtitle is: It's my turn. English seems to be more interesting at this time "mu turn". A very self-explanatory line. Whether it's "your turn" or "my turn", each of us can have one turn. This is the society we live in. Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years. Man is not always at the top, and he is not always at the bottom. When we are oppressed, we will wield our weapons to become a hacktivist and a slapstick party. When we hate the cruelty of criminals, have we ever thought about the question: why they work so hard but can't get a bite of food, while some people do nothing but live so well. Inequality is affirmative and guaranteed by law. When the pressure on our body exceeds what we can meet, the chain of society is broken. This is the theory of spring coefficient.
Everything is unknown, everything is predictable. Kitano had already seen what was about to happen in a trance in the bumps of the car. Our present has already indicated our future, which is not clearly explained, but it is true. Of course, there was an accident. The accident was that after Kitano Takeshi shot and killed a member of the underworld, he found a servant looking at him in tears. The result was unexpected. He raped the servant silently and even weakly. The manpower of rape is inconsistent, and the voice of being raped is swallowed. This will be what we are facing. These two sex scenes basically completed all of life. As being raped, we can bear it, but if we can’t bear it, we will become rapers. Philosophically speaking, this is to look at things from a dynamic perspective. It is developmental, the relationship between quantitative change and qualitative change.
This shootout scene also has a cold beauty. The machine gun is wrapped in a bunch of beautiful flowers, making the flowers violent. After the sudden gunshots, it was not the chaotic situation we imagined, but absolute stillness. Everyone's first reaction to death is static and passive, rather than active and rebellious. We have nowhere to escape, because death is obviously a stranger and we don't know anything about him. After the murder, Kitano apparently had a heroism addiction. He came to a slow motion and was as cool as the little Ma brother. This is the cuteness of Kitano outside of the movie. He likes to give in the movie. He is in the limelight, so his movie is extremely personal, showing a flesh and blood person. The movie is not only about giving others some inspiration, but also the most important thing is that his own can be happy. Obviously, Kitano is at this point compared to many film directors. Being smart, of course he also gets countless pleasures from it. So in the comparison between Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou in China, I like Zhang Yimou, because he found Qiuju, Wei Minzhi and the beautiful village girl in "My Father and Mother". Obviously Chen Kaige could not do this. He always indulged in humanistic thoughts. Inside, so his movie lacks fun.
The ending still starts in the toilet, and it is easy for people to end because of the black field. At this time, I don't really agree with Kitano Takeshi's two lighting treatment effects, and think that the order should be adjusted. Because at the end, a light with a faint light appeared in the toilet. Then the dull young man seemed to be full of vigor and opened the toilet door and ran to the baseball field. A big panoramic view, subtitles, and slowly scrolling, the picture is still the baseball field and of course the sound coming from there.
"Boiling Point" is such a movie from the beginning of constipation to the end of constipation. It is not an exaggeration to end this text with constipation. In fact, life is a constipation. From birth, we are destined to excrete. During the process of excretion, we may encounter some major or minor excretion problems. We are locked in a small black room. , Work hard to excrete, pull it out, go smoothly, get free, and that's it.
