In this film, Uncle Bei wanted to express too many things and think too much, so that he could not find a suitable story as a carrier to present, so he simply sacrificed the story of the film. For those of Takeshi Kitano style, the viewing experience of this movie is relatively poor. This is a Kitano-style dream fantasy, the truth is that the dream is not so important, the important thing is what he wants to express. The woman in black symbolizes the peace of mind and fetters brought by the family, the mistress is not only a desire for freedom but also a criticism of the mistress's spontaneity (also a lustful but unable to control herself), the agent and Terashima Shin symbolize friends and work partners, etc. They may be sarcastic when you are at a low point, clinging to you at your peak, but cowardly inside (what really cares or is good to you is actually the family), and the working Kitano Takeshi symbolizes the heart, he is selfish, timid, and has nothing to do He wants to gain respect from others because of his strengths (Uncle Bei's view of himself is also ruthless), and the way he gets respect is to use violence (here actually refers to all his talents, and violence also represents the consequences of success. power), and the violent method he used is a gun, which means that he actually succeeded with the help of Western culture (also Japan), so he was on the ground at the beginning of the film and was pointed at by the American soldier with a gun. He can only laugh at his head, and the black people who often appear make him uneasy all the time. Even when the movie is finished (the moment of honor for success), he sees the insects in the flowers presented (the crisis that exists all the time) , he said that it is better to give me money than to give me money, but also expressed that it is more important for the false reputation and benefits. This kind of thinking of relying on the West and trying to struggle has appeared many times. For example, the first time I ate ramen, I was kicked out. The second time I brought a gun and finally I could sit down and eat it. This time I chose to eat pasta. It's not Western-style eating without a knife and fork, or Japanese-style eating with chopsticks) but I choked after eating it. I was embarrassed to ask for water (help) but got ridiculed. Ramen or pasta, they all eat big mouthfuls, and they have no opinion, eat whatever they give, and don’t care about what’s going on around them (later Takeshi Kitano went back and shot the cook and others, and they started eating Japanese ramen again, and still didn’t look up. , even if there are shootings around), it may represent the indifferent audience and the Japanese people. Similar symbols include elements such as tap dance and DJ. Of course, these elements are chaotic scenes afterward. Family, mistress, career, Japanese society and other aspects of thinking are shown in the movie, and the conflict and chaos between the West and Japan are epitomized by the fierce battle on the beach (good Elements like samurai sumo were also wounded by Japanese police fire? ), although Uncle Bei sacrificed the story, he used the various skills he had worked on or knew to connect it in series, and the performance was performed by Mancai (not shown directly, but when he was changing clothes on the TV station, he heard the actors outside rehearsing, and Takeshi Kitano also scolded him. After a few sentences, it may be that they are trying to get an axe in the class.) Tap dancers, service staff, etc., the paragraph where buying a sports car was laughed at again CUE his paragraph about buying a sports car, Kitano Takeshi showed in the movie The accomplished arrogance and inner heart His lack of self-confidence is not only reflecting on himself, but also insinuating the whole society
