choice is in a scorchingly hot environment, what does that mean. The language and music are maddeningly slow, and the smell of salty sea water is poured into the lungs through the wind. Shirtless males were exposed everywhere, as well as slack and tired prisoners of war in uniforms of the same color as the gravel, and with completely different lengths of tops and bottoms, walking at an uneven marching pace.
According to my understanding, Jack is actually already dead. He said that he put all his enthusiasm into the battlefield, so he has no extra strength to support his footsteps. Those disgusting Japanese officers are just a joke. He despised himself as he despised what he thought he could despise. The heat of life he contained was richer than he had imagined, and there was neither wavering nor fear in his eyes. He thought it was the relief he needed to seek, but he still leaned wearily against the wall, buried his head behind his knees, and lost himself in the flowery garden.
Everyone is so vulnerable that it is impossible to deal with the harsh world on their own.
I have always believed that a good work must not only give people a simple linear emotional experience, it should always be composed of a variety of emotions, making people tearful but not sure which part they are for. And tears, even can only stand in place and point to his mouth and choked speechless, this is the best.
The Japanese are trying to speak English for the trial, and Lawrence's broken Japanese is just as absurd. In that era, any nation, or until now, people are all competing, trying to persuade each other to believe in their own ideas, including the cultural identity behind them, and wars are also accompanied by cultural aggression. As the backdrop for the entire work, it hits like a strong sound that can make one's ears hurt. The contrast between Takeshi Kitano's docile and docile face at the end of the camera, and the tone of the loud, arrogant roll call, which is not harmonious with the clash of cultures, or the Japanese one. The nation's distorted and contradictory character, or there are people who cannot make their own decisions and can only follow the flow in the process of history.
Fortunately, the series of contrasts is actually quite reasonable in the narrative. Shiye stopped his early morning kendo practice and told the doctor to try his best to heal Jack's indescribable tone and pretended to be an order. The soldiers around him argued loudly and fiercely that Jack was a devil. The soldiers pointed to the part of Shi Ye’s heart that represented the country and the country, clearly restraining and trying to continue to swallow the increasing ambiguous emotions. In fact, Jack really expresses his inner thoughts almost no more than Lawrence, but he is like the eternally hot air on the island that makes people feel that he is everywhere, and the world exposed in front of Jack has no way to escape, even if it is rough Pushed away, panicked, panicked, and cranky. Of course, I looked at it as a character's emotion, but after the fact, I always felt that it pointed to the shameful cultural characteristics of regularity and restraint, and the rules were invisible in front of the primitive emotions and life heat of human beings. This is not the same as animal desire. In the environment described in the film, Shiye's affection for Jack is impossible to say. This is a preset, and the preset result is that Shiye will be in such an intimate act. Near fainting.
If it is a third-rate movie or conforms to the shallow imagination of the public, then the protagonists should live well after the war, and Shiye and Jack should express their indescribable feelings for each other through more scenes. This is Nagisa Oshima's writing in the end, so the weight of the whole film is carried on this scene, it's like cutting two cultures and emotions into an awl, and then colliding with each other with two pointed heads. Scalp tingling all over. That sharp rubbing sound is something that can be read behind the camera sense, and it makes me shudder in retrospect. If it is more dramatic and bold, then Shiye can be portrayed as a tyrant who is savagely irrational, and the contrast will be even stronger. However, Shiye's image has always been humane, gentle like a gentleman, so we watched his emotions go up and down, he couldn't even find a suitable outlet for his own thoughts, and used "disappointment" to express For the time being, instead of covering up the loss and dissatisfaction in my heart. His eyes are steady and stern, always reminding himself of his identity and position, and strictly following the rules and procedures. Not so with Jack.
As I said before, Jack is like the sun. From his sharp eyes, people can even see the rising sea water. He obeys the needs of his sincere life, so people see him in the short distance he walks forward. He tidied up his hat, buttoned the front, stood in front of Shi Ye, looked straight at him, and got up without a word after being pushed down in a rage. He followed his own life and fulfilled it in this form without remorse. In the solemn procession, under the scorching sun, only he had the urge to sing almost immediately.
He said: listen to me, John. I wish I can sing.
Finally, when he was dying, it seemed that he was really tired and returned to the original state of life. And this is at night, a lonely moment when the sun is silent behind the sea. This is Shiye's world, he can approach him fearlessly, shave off his hair, and keep it carefully. He could also salute justly and solemnly, which was the most respectful and honest act he could imagine himself.
I sympathize with Yono, but at this point the age of the story comes into play, because under that sentiment, the proposition of the age is higher than the individual. Rather than being a personal proposition above the times, Lawrence will be slow to say it's no shame. There is no shame in living for yourself, it just happens to be there.
So even though I cried a lot after watching the whole film, I still stubbornly believe that the feelings of Shiye's help Jack can't be tied under the hat of love, and I don't feel that I am being abused from the inside to the outside. . It's just heavy and hot, almost depriving people of breathlessness. It is also thanks to Sakamoto Ryuichi and Bao Ye's lively and beautiful images, as well as the architectural soundtrack that is definitely different from the West. sex note. Every strong sound makes people feel that this trip is worthwhile. Although it tells a Western story and a Western theme, the subtle and restrained beauty lingering on it from beginning to end can only be understood by oriental people. do it.
