The author is based on many elements of the 1930s in the United States, but tells a true Japanese story - a group of people who will not die in a life-and-death battle on the same train - and the camera often flashes abruptly. Going back to the scene a year ago or a year later - the cross-reversed narrative, while testing the director's ability to play the story, also tests the audience's understanding.
When everyone was happy in the final ending, the director did not forget to spoof the United States: the time suddenly jumped from 1932 to 2001, the two "undead" protagonists were still young, suddenly cars on the street drove sirens everywhere, and then the tall buildings in the distance A huge passenger plane flew between them - this is a metaphor for the Gemini "9.11" terrorist incident on September 11, 2001 - the director is probably using the name of "undead" to the people who died in the terrorist incident. Expressing nostalgia - of course, it may also be pure spoof.
The story with heavy taste and coolness, like fish head with chopped peppers, spicy but unforgettable.
