lost and survived

"The Wife Killing Story" (SURVIVE STYLE 5+) is really too strong. The coolest scene is Reika Hashimoto, standing on the table after the first resurrection, kicking Asano's kick. So handsome (huh? Am I also suffering from Supergirl "Corn" Syndrome?).

The main line of the film is Ishigaki, played by Asano, who killed his savage wife Mimi (Hashimoto Reika), and Mimi was resurrected, and then came back to beat Ishigaki, again and again.

In addition to the Ishigaki couple, the film also has five story lines intertwined with the hypnotist and Yoko, the Kobayashi family, three thieves and two killers. It is estimated that this is the reason for the name STYLE 5+.

Another climax appears at the end of Asano jumping off the building, which is definitely the finishing touch of the film.

Epiphany, anything you take for granted is often not cherished, but when you suddenly lose it, you will feel its importance. Such as love, family, work, youth, health, and even life. And life is a process, it seems that it starts and starts again and again every day. As for the loss, the best way to make up for it is "rebirth", but this is difficult, because there are very few "bird dads" who can pull you when you fall.

Regarding "Daddy Bird", the film seems to be trying to tell us that if you love someone, you need to give him trust and space.

Yoko's tape recorder suggests that even the most precious things can sometimes be discarded.

Therefore, the most important word in the film is "lost", Ishigaki lost Mimi, the hypnotist lost his life, Yoko lost his tape recorder, Kobayashi forgot that he was alone, and the thief solved the knot. They have all "lost" the most important things, either intentionally or unintentionally, some are treasures, some are shackles. Therefore, "SURVIVE" is derived from this. Some people survive, some people are reborn, and some people no longer have a chance.



My rating: cool. The graphics are beautiful, the style is grotesque, and the soundtrack is excellent.
