Male protagonist: The various behaviors of the male protagonist are incomprehensible. The final outburst is about logical, and the initial withdrawal is simply unreasonable. In the first crime scene and dismemberment scene, the male protagonist has time to escape and call the police. It is a bit far-fetched to be coerced into a situation similar to an "accomplice", perhaps to set off the cowardice of the male protagonist and create a greater impact and contrast.
Murata and his wife: No need for further analysis, in fact, it is completely out of the normal human criminal personality and perverted murderer. The whole plot interprets the absurdity of these two people without losing the reality, absurd but creepy.
Taeko: The background explanation is not clear, and I don't know her previous experience. But from the foreshadowing of the plot, it can be seen that, like many people, she yearns for romance and a better life, and is somewhat vain and boring. Analysis has gone through many men.
Taeko's most concentrated scene at the beginning was to go to Murata's office alone, and was soon won by Murata. A well-understood, half-assed adultery with a hint of rape, a release (in the first meeting, seeing Murata's Ferrari sports car, and the interaction with Murata has already laid the groundwork), if there is no witness behind the male protagonist Crime, coerced plot, in real life, there are many scenes of such extramarital affairs. Taeko will also continue to maintain relationships with Murata or with other men. Of course, Taeko is also very realistic. In addition to the excitement and pleasure brought by making peace with Murata, she hopes that her husband can work with Murata to make money and live a better life in her mind. She did not choose to leave the male protagonist because of this incident, especially at the end of the film, she also chose to run towards the male protagonist. It should be said that she has husband and wife affection and affection for the male protagonist.
People like Taeko are more common in real life, and the actions in the play are also logical.
The whole film is inherently exploring something deeper than the plot, such as fatherhood, patriarchy, maturity, education, and the pain of life.
