The second time I watched Uncle's film, the last time was Kikujiro's summer.
Uncle is still the same self as always, indulging in his own world.
Watching the uncle lead a group of desperate underworld, before the imminent threat of death, play the game full of innocence, and vaguely see a similar plot in Kijiro. The uncle probably misses his lost childhood, so he is so focused on exploring the childlike emotions hidden in the hearts of different types of characters. However, people can never hide in a carefree childhood. After all, they still have to face life and face it squarely. It's like the uncle said: When a person is always in fear, he is not afraid.
We are finally grown up.
