"Contest 2", as the follow-up to "Contest/Manslaughter Concealing the Sky", simply pushed the story of the previous work and the collision between the two families to a climax. Although I feel that the change in the attitude of the mother of the final victim is very far-fetched, it does not affect my opinion that this is an excellent film. In the case of the first one being so complete, it can be extended, and this time, the crime time of the previous one can be more refined, accurate to hours, and the way of the drama in the play to lay out and coherent the whole event, and the drama in the play The play in the movie also became a key rebuttal argument for the film, which is very exciting, which makes the audience from God's perspective appreciate the precise calculation of the protagonist while understanding the coherence of the story. This film sublimates the theme to: No matter how legitimate the reason, the murderer is always wrong, and the heart will always suffer. This is consistent with the values of the current mainstream detective manga Conan Kanedaichi. The transition from being watched by the police to monitoring the police is wonderful, but either way is a punishment, and the rest of my life will be terrified. The first part of the film is more about reflecting that the protagonist's family has been living in the shadow of the past six years later, such as male classmates, the education of the youngest daughter and the marriage of the eldest daughter, etc., repeatedly constructing the psychological shadow of the protagonist's family. But there are also several particularly important foreshadowings interspersed in it. The final ending is regarded as the joint redemption of the two families. Isn't the protagonist's family living in the shadow of that incident a punishment in disguise?
