If you ignore the last point of the film, it means that the content before the plot of Takeshi Kitano's assassination of Takeshi Kitano is similar to the theme and subject matter of the previous batch of films by Takeshi Kitano, "Hana", "Old Man" or even "Zatoichi" . The character in the play "Bad Man Kitano Takeshi" is like a song in the film. He is alone, his career fails, his dreams come to nothing, and he is bullied and ignored everywhere. However, the only way to reverse it is violence, just like those previous films, struggling and sad in an atmosphere of violence and depression. In this part he is glorifying violence. As soon as the final plot turned, "Beautiful Takeshi Kitano" woke up from his dream and saw that he was pointed at by a gun, and the meaning of "Take Kitano assassinated Takeshi Kitano" itself, overturned all the previous content, which was also a disgrace to Kitano Takeshi himself. There is a critical reflection on the understanding of violence in filmmaking. And this kind of movie theme is personal after all, and it is reasonable that it is difficult to be valued in Venice.
The way the film is shot is quite elegant. The narrative method of constantly waking up from dreams is enough to give space for each branch to develop and jump to another branch at an appropriate time, and on each branch can detach from reality and give free creation; at the same time, the method of dream is also It is in line with the character characteristics of "Bad Man Kitano Takeshi". The rich imagination made me see Takeshi Kitano in the era of "Sex Rhapsody" again. There are so many metaphors of objects that fill the whole movie, bugs, dance (that long dance full of sexual meaning suddenly reminded me of "A Cloud in the Sky"...), spaghetti (this is "Bad Takeshi Kitano" Decided to use a violent turning metaphor because it looks like a bloody face...). . And what I think is the most elegant: several people shoot each other on the grass, and the firelight of gunpowder forms a constellation pattern... The film combines many classic scenes from Takeshi Kitano's previous works in the first half. "Kitano Takeshi's assassination of Kitano Takeshi" made a foreshadowing.
So in fact there are three Takeshi Kitano in this movie, "Takeshi Kitano", "Takeshi Kitano", and Takeshi Kitano himself
