The eels return to the river.

The audiovisual brought me several miracles, and I watched it several times repeatedly, and I realized how the rhythm in the long shot was realized. In the director's shot, there will always be front, middle and back scenes. Yamashita's first over-the-shoulder shot with Keiko was before taking her. Keiko was in his lens, and when Keiko and him sat on the lawn at night and said they wanted to see ufo, the mountain was already in her lens. And Yamashita is always alone in his lens. The lines did not say clearly, the relaxed picture, the smiling face at the foot of the mountain, audio-visual and audio-visual have explained everything. The play is also remarkable. The pond in the Eel Heavy Prison was changed to a bathtub. This should be the case. Keiko smashed the bathtub, and the eel returned to the river. The relationship between Yamashita and the eel has been clearly shown several times. The person who went out of jail with him seemed to have a complementary personality, just like the other personality. And those friends of his, and Keiko, they all joined together in a wonderful way. Fishing, killing people, saving people, dare not face the experience of killing his wife, the small bathtub, the barber shop by the river, these arrangements seem to be deliberate. But I still feel that standing at the foot of the mountain is self-salvation, making me wonder if he didn't kill his wife in the first place. Cycling to surrender, the blood on his face and body looked as if he had touched it. The various roles in his heart were fighting, and finally realized the thing that almost everyone around him wanted him to achieve, facing himself and facing the incident of "Keiko". It is also correct from the perspective of moral concepts. If it is really because of the letter I imagined, I killed my innocent wife. I don't care about it later. This is not allowed by social morality.

Very good movie, it looks different from other Japanese movies directed by other directors. What I appreciate most is the full space in the movie. The peculiar technique, I tolerate his deliberateness, what I understand is that this is what the director wants to stand up and say.
