It's really messy to watch it twice, but the technique of dreaming in a dream and the various role transformations of the two Kitano Takeshi show the director's identity as an actor and even his mental journey since his debut. In the beginning, he was just a humble entertainer; he might be like a geisha, begging for a big man to take the lead; he has faced all kinds of ridicule around him; the women around him are either extracting money (wife) or hypocritical, and after becoming famous, there are also various scams ( Mahjong); even all kinds of strongmen in the underworld are difficult; or the rivalry between peers. But the one who can always warm himself is the very few fans who can appreciate him. This is the only positive role in the whole film, which shows how depressed the director was as an artist at that time. Fortunately, in reality, there are not as many people who love Takeshi Kitano as in the film, but as ordinary bystanders, we can only experience the pressure and hardships unknown to the inner people of well-known public figures who are so different from us from the film. bow!
