I thought, as the title says, it was a nightmare. The scene of hundreds of people typing in the office is a copy and paste of reality. Many scenes in the film are so grand and illogical that they seem to be an enlargement of reality. Citizen k is always at the center of interpersonal relationships, and the dream is self; at the end of the film, k escapes the fate of being stabbed to death, which also proves that he is in a dream, and people do not die in their dreams. "Even if I didn't make a mistake, I would feel guilty." Citizen K has been asking himself what crime he committed since he was arrested at the beginning of the film, from political cases to criminal cases, but there is no actual crime. This is a ridiculous thing, because convicting a person requires evidence, not to let an innocent person prove his innocence. K has no guilt but is always defending himself. Like the man in the opening story, he cannot enter the door of the law but is always waiting. When a person dies, the door closes, "this door is only open for you". This "door" is actually possible for everyone. The person in the story cannot enter the door of the law, probably because he does not need to go in. Citizen k is the same. In fact, he may not need to defend himself at all, nor the help of others. - I don't know if this can be understood as nihilism. His "sin" originated from his subconscious, and his heart was the "original sin" from birth.

If you want to score, the director's shooting technique must be starred, and the light and shadow are too powerful. I originally wrote a short review, but the number of words exceeded...
As a digression, is the prototype of the court of owls in Batman the court here? Unexpectedly feels like...
