"one person": echoes are not needed
to put what they don't want to say The matter, read it out in one breath and in your own way - there is no need to respond, there is no need to persuade, it is for "confession". However, rather than saying that confession is a one-way mantra narrative, it is better to say that it is a kind of inquiry that does not expect any reply - "going alone" is an important form of confession. Confession is a long-suppressed heart that appears to outsiders—the dark heart is a counterattack that has broken the bottom line. The film begins with the confession of Mr. Moriguchi played by Song Takako, and the structure is neat and interlocking. One confession follows another - the human heart is a bottomless abyss, and there is always a story in the story. . During the process of confession, both listening and speaking are one-way, and there is no need to understand each other, but they are interdependent—just for witnessing. Female teacher Yuko Moriguchi, student and murderer Shuya Watanabe and Naoki Shimomura finally told the audience about the trauma in their hearts. Trauma, revenge, and sobbing are all linked together like a tsunami that overwhelms all complex emotions, responsibilities, and laws. Facts are facts after all. The revenge of an eye for a tooth and an eye for an eye has no turning back. However, the deceased has not been resurrected because of this, and the knot in the heart of the wounded has been tightened even tighter. It turns out that the confession is not an export, but a simple expression of the empty state that has been hollowed out.
"Inquiry"; only as a gesture
of fate, who is in charge of fate? Accusation is the main theme of the film, why should I suffer this kind of trauma? The experiences of the three protagonists are also centered on "mother", and we can't help but feel a serious question from the person who gave birth to life - the God or mother who brought me into this world, why should we suffer irreparable pain. Suffering has become the order of the world, and we must live in this order without being able to resist. This is a topic that is often discussed in literature and movies. However, I think the high level of confession is that the inquiries of the people in the play never ask for approval. This is a cold attitude and a cold stare at the existing order of the world. a gesture.
"Fate": When Sadness Has Occupied Our Eyes
It's just that human beings continue to build another order outside this order: good life values. The appearance of Yoshiki Terada is the director's greatest satire on the current educational philosophy. We always simplify the minds of teenagers, and use our belief that we have the power to change the beliefs of students, and encourage students who live in the dark. "Confession"'s description of human weakness and the observation of interpersonal relationships can be described as extremely profound, but it is really difficult to understand why the director and the author will show this cold world to the audience and readers without hesitation: love has become the basis of hatred, hatred has become the Society's only emotion to justify its existence and dissatisfaction with accusations. The sky has no meteors, no blue sky, only an iron-like transparent order, we can only walk on it unconsciously and without choice - we always go in the wrong direction, and it seems that there is always an invisible misleading voice, Leading us in the wrong direction, maybe this is life: trauma, mistakes, crying, asking... The constant cycle has no end.
