Humans are of animal origin, and the desire for physical stimulation is unavoidable. With eyes, nose, ears, and tongue, you can not only enjoy happiness, but also endure pain. That is, the power of destruction, attack, and self-destruction in human nature coexists with human affection and love. You can look at the instinct theory of psychology. Whether it makes sense depends on your personal life experience.
If this negative force in a person is released outside, the usual manifestation is aggressive and violent behavior, and inwardly, it manifests itself as behaviors of self-discipline, self-abuse or even suicide. The artist definitely wants to show this, and it is not challenging to always describe the beautiful world. After all, the inner being without evil, desire and invisible light cannot be called human. In addition to literary works, movies are the most intuitive and true reproduction technique.
From the beginning of "Killer Aichi", Takashi Miike's movie style and movie theme are very clear, cruelly telling the audience: human evil has no bottom line, and there is no end in sight. But the stage-style exaggerated performances of the Yamato people effectively relieved the sense of depression brought about by bloody violence, and always made people laugh where they shouldn't be. Yamada Takayuki is best at "cold humor" in the works of Takashi Miike. As he is getting stronger and stronger, his acting skills have also soared with his figure. I believe the sentence that pops up after sniffing the underwear in "Cathedral of Evil": Maya, It must make the audience laugh.
I haven't read the original work of "The Evil Code", and I occasionally felt that there was a break in the plot when I was watching the movie. As for the bloody violence, let me say that compared to his previous works, this one is much gentler and gentler. I haven't seen the plasma a few times, and I don't appreciate the perverted technique. However, Director Wen Yuanzi has acted very hard recently, and the dismemberment scene of "Icy Tropical Fish" is worth watching.
But it is worth giving a high evaluation. After all, Miike Chongshi never plays deep and connotative. Like rock music, the greatest pleasure of watching Miike Chongshi is "boom boom boom boom".
I like to see the different attitudes and behaviors of those students in the face of sudden death, which is worth savoring.
One of the best ways to face yourself is to face the evil in yourself.
Finally, to say a digression, Takashi Miike is a Virgo. The style and tendency of his works are indeed one of the characteristics of Virgos.
