A man wanted to kill his wife deliberately. When burying his wife's body, he found that his wife was not dead. The crazy man jumped into the dirt pit with a shovel and desperately patted his wife's head. The sound of the collision between the iron and the human body echoed for a long time. On the screen, the story begins.
The story was originally five unrelated parts, but these five parts were strung together due to the emergence of the British killer. Different combinations expressed different connotations, such as loneliness, such as habit, such as understanding, such as temptation...
Asano The man played by Tadanobu looks gloomy and neurotic. He wears an ankle-length trench coat. When he is nervous, anxious, or even calm, he will draw abstract small eyes on the trench coat. The man drives a bulck's car, which is also painted with round daisies. The man tried everything he could to kill his wife, he seemed to have an indelible hatred for his wife, and he always died quickly, but every effort of the man was in vain, after burying his wife's body and returning home , He was horrified to find that his wife was still staying at home well, and more and more beautiful and sexy every time, every time she had superpowers, and every time she was more cruel.
The wife, played by Rika Hashimoto, wears all kinds of beautiful dresses, her hair is thick and curly like seaweed, and she is always barefoot without shoes. At the beginning of the film, the wife's performance and makeup are a little weird, but as the plot progresses, she becomes more and more naughty and cute. The wife is like a legendary undead bird, with the super power of immortality. Whether her husband stabs her with an arrow, dismembers, burns, or buys a murderer to kill, she can miraculously resurrect and return home to prepare a sumptuous dinner for her husband. Decorate the room for Christmas. After being killed and resurrected every time, the wife will launch a frantic revenge against her husband, but every time it will still be the wife who dies.
The battle between the couple escalated again and again, and each time it was life and death, like a mutual competition, more like a game. It was in these crazy games that the couple began to rely on and become accustomed to each other. After the wife was killed and resurrected for the first time, she carefully cooked a sumptuous breakfast for her husband, but the meal was too sumptuous. There were about 20 fried eggs, and the steak seemed to serve ten people. The husband smiled gently at the wife. Under the coercion, he ate from morning to evening. When drinking coffee, the wife personally added three spoons of sugar to her husband's coffee, but after the husband put down the coffee cup, the wife launched a frantic revenge against her husband until she was killed again. The same scene happened again when the wife was resurrected for the last time, but the wife did not pursue her husband brutally anymore. Originally thought that the two could finally break in and turn their fight into jade, but the killer with a paranoid tendency came to visit at this time and killed his wife again. This time, the wife was not resurrected.
Every time when burying his wife's body, the man would use a shovel to shove the soil on his wife, as if to bury his panic and anxiety. But this time, he lightly spread the soil on his wife's body, for fear that the soil would be too heavy to weigh on his wife. The man returned home, searched the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, but his wife did not appear at home as usual. The next day, the man came to the forest where his wife's body was buried and found that his wife was really dead. will not be resurrected. Only at this time did the man know what real emptiness and loneliness was, and he chose to commit suicide.
In fact, the man's heart has already begun to melt. When his wife sweetened his coffee, and when his wife spit fire to light a cigarette for him, although the man knew that he would be beaten afterward, he still showed a happy smile. When he saw his wife put himself in a sock as a Christmas present and fell awkwardly to the ground, the ice and hatred in his heart melted completely, and he found himself in the game of killing and being killed again and again. I can't live without my wife, and so is my wife. Maybe that's how love happened.
Whether the wife said "Bye-Bye" to her husband when she finally fell, whether she was tired of this game of killing and revenge, or whether she finally gave up on her husband, we don't know.
In fact, sometimes hatred is also a kind of dependence, it reflects a kind of alternative care. Whether it is killing or revenge, it is a kind of sustenance and persistence. You can say it is a kind of belief. The protagonist turns this kind of hatred like misses into the driving force for survival, and finally turns hatred into misses. If one day, there is no hatred and no love, then there is really nothing, empty.
Others are hell, but more terrible than hell is loneliness.
Yoko, the advertising planner, is lonely, but she lives in her own whims, and this loneliness has been downplayed. She works hard to come up with every advertising idea, hire killers to kill incompetent and mean boyfriends, until she carries all her After the tape recorder of enthusiasm and ideas was lost, she discovered her pallor and loneliness.
Xiaolin's father, who was hypnotized into a bird, is also lonely. Before he turned into a bird, he had to run around for the family. The tiredness and mediocrity of being a middle-aged man were all on his face; In a state of extreme loneliness, thanks to the understanding of the younger son, he can finally fly like a real bird and rescue the man who killed his wife by jumping off a building.
Two of the three little thieves, GAY, are always testing each other, anxious because of uncertainty, they are a group of loners who have been banished to the fringes of society.
Even the ruthless British killer has a deep loneliness, "What' your function?" is not only asking others, but also asking himself. He was lonely, especially when he asked the broccoli "What' your function?"
Understanding may be the only way to resolve loneliness, but when understanding comes too late, it still cannot change the outcome of the tragedy.

The rich colors and gorgeous sets in the movie are amazing, and the designs are full of fairytale tones, like a dreamlike fantasy show, especially the home of a man and his wife, the blue Trojan horse is impressive, the hypnotist Bedroom, huge lawn-like green rug, squirrels and wooden horse knickknacks. Everything reminds me of Matisse's paintings, or Issey Miyake's designs, with calmness and thinking in innocence.
There are still two doubts. Why are there decorations made of eyes everywhere in a man's home (he also painted eyes on his windbreaker), while hypnotists use various tiger heads as decorations?
