It turned out to be the same director as "Beyond 91 Centimeters". I really like the perspective of the hand, and I was moved when I watched the trailer. The hand is an important participant in the various experiences of life, and if the hand is separated from the self-consciousness, it seems that it can indeed have a complete "soul" - with memory, feeling, and action. In the film, the shape of the hand and even the "look" is very delicately expressed, and the mastery of body language is wonderful, and the emotion can be accurately conveyed without expressions.

Fighting against fate, you can make breakthroughs by surprise. It seems that he is bound by fate, but in fact, fate is the fate that he has identified, and the "unexpected" "it" is also himself. While following the girl, he hesitated, and at the last moment when the subway door closed, he mustered up the courage to rush out. How many times have you thought that things would end like this, accepting the ending and thinking "it really is", is it because you have experienced such moments that you will believe in fatalism? So have you ever tried to give up action when faced with this so-called predetermined ending, instead of thinking that "all struggles are in vain", but to give it a go?

The male protagonist trying to catch a fly and accidentally losing a hand is like fighting with fate and paying a heavy price. This is how life is. No matter how careful you are, you can't take into account all the risks in the future. In the randomness and chaos, who can be sure not to lose something as important as the "hand".

The beginning of the unfortunate fate was recorded on the tape. After losing a hand, he continued to record the determination to break the boat and rewrite it into a life that broke through fate. Please, please, also have the courage to make that life-or-death leap.

(The loneliness of the city, the atmosphere goes deep into the bone marrow with the soundtrack, and will be revisited in the future)
