To say that there was a smile in this movie would sound too superficial. Speaking of which, at first, I was confused by this movie.
For us, movies are nothing but a continuous dream. And this movie is a fragmented dream, and there is a dream within a dream, which is why I watched it in a daze.
The protagonists, the two are exactly the same, Takeshi Kitano, one is successful, and the other is called after; A big director, a backup actor doing odd jobs. One is regarded as a master, and people respect him with great respect. The other is full of cold eyes and cold reception.
You know, they look exactly the same. Maybe one is me before and one is me now. One is positive in character, the other is negative. And the negative one, the weak and despised, is also oneself, the past, but also hidden in the present.
That poor Takeshi Kitano was reprimanded even for using the so-called expensive face cream when putting on makeup: Your face is useless if you use it so well, you are blind. All he could do was wink the clown's white-pink eyes and stay still. Sometimes, resistance is also a right, but he doesn't have it, is he numb?
Kitano Takeshi's numb expression undoubtedly had some kind of shocking force. This shock comes from knowing and revealing ourselves. Incompetence is incompetence, not power, in the face of injustice. What is power? It's a gun, and after having a gun, the beautiful woman throws herself into her arms, her contemptuous eyes turn into trembling, and those who are embarrassed and opposed to us become respectful, and our meager heart can finally be proud and arrogant. , you can also shoot with the beautiful chick and enjoy a moment of solitary excitement. The scene on the beach, one person fighting a riot police team, is of course more like a dream, this can only be realized in a dream or in a movie. The kind of husband who is in charge, even if he is dead, he is still honored.
It is Takeshi Kitano who can travel freely between dreams and dreams. It would be great if reality could be edited at will, and if you are not satisfied, you will start over. Such a dream of freedom is a life that can never be realized. We also often lack an exit to escape from reality, such as the gun of Takeshi Kitano. But the so-called dream of life, the meaning of life dreams and games, this movie is very good.
The laughter of Takeshi Kitano is a little person who has been in numbness all the time. He doesn't dare to cry or laugh, but the momentary brilliance that suddenly blooms is a bright color in a bleak life. Yes, small people also have the right to laugh, and this one will be remembered especially.
And whether the master Kitano Takeshi is not worried, of course not, he still has to compromise, and he is equally helpless, but the degree is different. At least, this dream is what he did not. Some people say that writing is a kind of healing. Movies must be too.
