Still water flows deep, love is speechless. He must be, he doesn't think he deserves it.

"He let out a wild beast-like roar, which was a mix of despair and confusion at the same time. The cry moved all listeners, ... he seemed to be vomiting his soul."

Tsutsumi Shinichi. Well done.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, his back was hunched, his face half hidden under the scarf, the kind of expression that he did not interact with people for a long time, and was a little panicked and slightly numb when he treated the crowd. neither warm nor hot. Just right. The stiff and restrained demeanor and the loose and decadent limbs remind me of Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind.
Shishen, a name is enough to describe a person. Solitary as a stone, as deep as a god. No smoke at all.

The pace of the movie is always slow. The first half of the process is straightforward, a simple manslaughter case, the deceased, the murderer, and the accomplices who dealt with the scene clearly see it.
The full alibi, the rhythm of the proof, and the impeccable perfection of the crime are tedious. The suspect has no flaws to fix, and the detective is just obsessed with intuition and personal likes and dislikes.
Completely one-sided, there is no such expert tricks, babble sparks.
The plot is slow and solid, and the tension gradually accumulates little by little. Until the two climbed to the top of the snow together, and after the tension, the camera turned on and looked around the entire vast and vast snowy area. What had been dull for a long time suddenly became bright.
Immediately, the mystery was revealed. For a moment, the magnificent feelings were reinstated, and it was still a faintly suppressed tone, but the emotional tension of solving the puzzle increased several times. Just like when melting snow, it absorbs the surrounding heat, and the air tightens and becomes thinner.

I think the last time Shishen climbed the mountain before he confessed his sins, should be the most relaxed and free time in his life. The man who spent his whole life exiled in a mediocre life because of his paranoia about mathematics, searching for his true meaning in loneliness and dreams, I finally said to myself, let it go.
In fact, what is the answer to the mystery, what is the reasoning, can no longer excite me. The reasoning method of the Bengue School is indeed innovative, but it is not so difficult to guess. To be honest, if only as a reasoning suspense film, the value of this film is far from enough.

Rare is never wisdom, rare is emotion. What is rare is the strong emotion that bursts out in this loneliness, but it is described with a particularly calm face.
Their optimism and friendliness unintentionally warmed his despair, and he carried all his sins alone. This kind of mutual comfort and mutual need, but there is no real direct contact. This story is not about love, but loneliness.

Is Shishen a genius? What is more profound than his wisdom and talent is his love for mathematics. I am so in love that my life is ruined, and I don't know how to deal with it. Maybe this is the root cause of his suicide.
Is Shi Shen’s EQ low? It’s not necessarily that he has a firm grasp of the opponent’s psychology when dealing with cases. As long as he wants, he can definitely keep people’s hearts in the palm of his hand, fame, fortune, status, and an upper-class academic environment are within easy reach, but he, I am reluctant to use academic and political compromises to tarnish the ultimate beauty of mathematics. I can only endure teaching naive high school students every day, and life is so twisted and tangled.

Too pure, too disdainful of vulgarity, unable to move freely in this world. Not only can't go to the altar of academics, but also isolated from the mundane life, because of his own obsession with ideals, he can't come down to the stage. Instead, being in prison made him calm down. Here, instead of thinking about the real world, and even the basic freedoms are shackled, he can instead concentrate on his math games, like a duck in water.

At that time, Shi Shen was lying on the bed of the detention center, his face calm and relieved. There are some stains on the ceiling, connect them into a polygonal shape with eyes, fill in red, green, blue and yellow, and the colors of adjacent blocks do not repeat. It's the four-color question he's been obsessed with since college. Yes, someone has verified it decades ago, so what, their solution is not beautiful enough. Like love, people repeat it for thousands of years, so what, I also have a temple that I guard.
This set of surreal stunt shots outlines lines on the old dirty wall, smears light colors, and faintly glows like fireflies. The ancient civilization flowed like a river of poetry in his mind, and the restrained and inflated romance was stuck in my throat.
The stone god just lay motionless, his expression was calm, and there was no excessive desire for joy or sorrow. From the eyes to the figure, it reveals a rare ease and release.

With such a majestic dedication and a light sense of happiness, he is just like a child, ignorant of the world, and loves both sacred and ignorant.
How not to cry.

There are high walls on all four sides with nets, handcuffs, ropes tied around the waist, so what, in my mind, and mathematics, that's enough. Mathematics is so arrogant and independent fun.

Tsutsumi Shinichi, acting well, lies in the kind of lightness, that kind of pureness, that kind of desirelessness. He had a crush on her for a year, just to buy a bento every morning. Never said a word. He murdered and mutilated her body for her, and made a careful layout. When I called her on the other end of the payphone, my lips trembled with happiness. Follow her, just to tell her that that man, I have observed, should give you happiness.

That's all. Still water flows deep, love is speechless. He must be, he doesn't think he deserves it. He must want them to get the kind of real warmth and happiness that he can't give them.

Yasuko has a very traditional Japanese beauty, a woman who is elegant and thin, with a little bit of vicissitudes and a little bit of bitterness in her demure. The temperament precipitated in this dust is much more pure, gorgeous and richer than those thin ones.
Some people were confused by the director and really believed that Shishen helped Jingzi and her daughter, and gradually ignited the desire to control and became a stalker.
In fact, the details of the performance have long revealed the answer. People who are isolated from the world, their only interest is mathematics, and their desire for life has been reduced to the extreme. There will be no possessiveness.
The plain and humble Mr. Kudo of Jingzi, when it rained heavily, parked the car and got down in a hurry, opened his umbrella, ran to the co-pilot to open the car door, and welcomed Jingzi down, his body was in the rain. That earnest look is full of appropriateness and care.
Such a symbolic supporting role has a clear meaning. He is in sharp contrast with Shishen. In Shishen's eyes, this is the part of his emotions and abilities that he has left behind. He can give them happiness and protection that he cannot give.

What a sad story. Such an arrogant genius. Facing his confidant and opponent, he did not refute the truth relatively sharply, but said lonelyly, "You always look so young, I really envy you". Yukawa, played by Masaharu Fukuyama, later said that he was not the kind of person who would care about his appearance. Will care, it means he is in love.

Tragedy or irony. Love, let us crawl out from the self-satisfied sitting in the well and watch the sky, let us live uncomfortably.

Finally, the bright sunlight outside the window shone on his white shirt, and shone into his warm golden memories of Hanaoka's mother and daughter, the brisk strings, the low voice-over, the soothing slow-motion. A condensed smile gradually appeared on his face, please be happy.

In the memories, not only the mother's gentle smile, but also the daughter's sweet greetings.

Not only Yasuko, but daughter Miri also participated in the murder, and the evidence of the joint crime was irrefutably left on the corpse. These two people will inevitably be charged together. I think the director is reminding us that what he loves is not necessarily Yasuko, but this pair of mother and daughter. It's not narrow-minded possessiveness, but the optimism and beauty of their mutual dependence that gave him the strength to live. Now, he decides to use his life to protect this kind of happiness that reborn himself.

Yasuko turned himself in suddenly, destroying all his illusions. He cried. The cry was not tragic at all, the tone of voice collapsed and collapsed, it was hopeless and unbelievable, similar to the howl of a beast. Like a child, his ears are filled with the sound of broken dreams, which is too tragic.
So, I once again reached the boiling point of my emotions and cried again. Tears are not for this bloody plot, but for Tsutsumi Shinichi's performance. Love is just his one-man show.

Love is not perfect after all. Even sometimes, you just want wishful thinking, and it can't make you perfect.

PS:
This film is worth watching a second time, and you will find a lot of details ambush, including repeated long shots of the seawall walk, on the bench, the first time a tramp sits, and the second time, it is empty.
The second time I watched it, I could focus my attention and emotions on Uncle Teshin's performance, and be moved and stunned without distraction.
