HANA-BI. A story as desolate as a weathered bare rock. What is crying without tears, what is the violence of life.
When Joe Hisaishi's music sounded at the end of the curtain, when the girl flying the kite stared blankly at everything that had hidden the audience's perspective, when the last bullet sounded, two shots, but lost the main body.
Then I gradually realized that what Kitano Takeshi wanted to talk about was not the bamboo chopsticks poking into the eye, the brutality of punching and kicking, not the underworld, not the gangster, not firing several shots into the head of a dead person until the magazine clipped It's completely empty, not without saying anything and directly taking cigarettes to burn the hands of people who are not used to it. It's not driving a fake police car in uniform to rob a bank, or killing someone who knows the law and breaks the law.
But it is not to send the desired watercolor paint to a friend who is disabled due to work, not to take care of his friend's wife and children, not to give up everything just to accompany his wife who is suffering from cancer through the last time.
We saw Nishi, played by Takeshi Kitano himself, standing in front of the camera, wearing sunglasses like a gangster, hiding all his real expressions, and looking at everything in the world with a strong, maybe just pretending to be strong.
Silence is not much, even if he takes off his glasses, he just blinks sporadically, and sometimes the corners of his mouth smile stiffly, but his eyes betray him, and there is only helplessness written there. And perhaps a contempt for all the absurd.
I wanted to take the only photo with my wife, but at the moment when the shutter flashed, a truck drove up. In the end, the film fell into the sand and could not be recovered. I wanted to show my wife the homemade fireworks, but the sparks were beating, but the key splendor was delayed. I walked forward to see what happened in my wife's regretful eyes, but was sprayed by the fireworks that suddenly burst out at this time.
What is the saddest joke ever. Nishi said, I don't want to understand.
Nishi sat in the car by the sea, loaded his pistol with the last two bullets, and walked to the two former colleagues who had come to arrest him.
"Wait a while, it'll be fine in a while." The corners of his mouth were still moved with a smile.
Nishi caught the kite girl's kite and tore off its wings. Nishi smiled.
Amid the sound of the waves, the two final gunshots ended the movie, ending everything.
I believe, that was Nishi's last laugh.
