Compile and interpret

Confusion started after signing. The roles of director and actor alternate again and again and faster.
It's like a coin tossing game. As the game progresses, the heads and tails of the coin become harder to guess.
He has always been a lover of violence. When I saw the beautiful scenery, I was actually ready, ready to accept the blood. All good things are overshadowed by violent aesthetics.

The biggest inspiration for me from this film is the compiler and translator of the code. How will their relationship dramatize? As viewers, we use our own way of thinking to interpret Takeshi Kitano. When Takeshi Kitano analyzed himself, he compiled a code and waited for the audience to interpret it. Once a link goes wrong, the interpretation will go down a completely different path. There will be a mess of dead bodies and grotesquely dressed actors along the way. When you can't go any further, you simply fall into the abyss and start over.

The director had a great time playing this game. He smiled crookedly, and then kept changing the way he compiled the password, watching the climax of the interpreter being dizzy and suddenly realizing it. At least I am.

    This is the only work in Kitano Takeshi's self-healing trilogy (self-reflection trilogy), the only work that allows me to follow along. The dislocation, the reverse order of nightmares and reality, the seemingly messy and unintelligible are actually carefully arranged, the last 30 minutes are a little out of control, I don't know if it is the embodiment of the weightlessness that Wu Ye blindly pursues.

    Kitano Takeshi's self-healing work, although the frequent flashbacks make the plot somewhat obscure, but in the final analysis, it still expresses Kitano Takeshi's anxiety after becoming famous, and I saw the shadow of "Sonata" in some bridges, The fascination with guns remains fervent.
