So, we became the people we are now

Domestic problematic juvenile films, after escaping from school, basically embarked on the road of no return, such as abortion, drug abuse, etc., which are despised by social ethics, and such kind of life happens to teenagers in real life rarely. It's too few to resonate. The problematic teenagers in Kitano Takeshi’s movies, even though they have left school and deviated from the usual growth path, what they don’t change is their hope for the future and their sense of responsibility for their lives. Whether you are mixing gangsters, practicing boxing, or driving a taxi, you will face the test of life, instead of treating the world outside the school into a dystopia with no restraints and only crimes like a shoddy movie of the same kind. This film is really a film about growth. It can make ignorant teenagers understand that the current "bad" will only make them more brutally beaten by reality after they enter the adult society.

Revisited after ten years. This may be the most effective soundtrack for a film. The music quickly enters the core situation in the first ten seconds, and then there are even the illusion that the characters in the film are around the music. Its expression is actually the most Japanese: starting with violence, behind the perverse and abrupt images, and finally buried in the delicate and desperate sadness. Kitano Takeshi is the best in my mind.
