"Film Review"

It is said that in World War II, the Japanese army will arrange spiritual courses for soldiers, intending to turn them into pure murderers with no distractions. The film seems to show a similar murderous complex. The imagery of the film is full of Bluebeard's murderous fairy tale, Franz Mesmer, the founder of hypnotism, and the usual identity marks of serial killers, etc. Based on the original meaning of these things, The gimmick outweighs the reality.
Through the plot, it seems that the hypnotist Mamiya uses the environment and tone to stimulate the subconscious of the hypnotized person, turning them into the perpetrator - so it seems that the film wants to show that each of us is subconsciously a cold and murderous maniac idea. Structurally, the movie is perfect - Mamiya hypnotizes his victims to kill others, until in the end, he asks Takabe to kill himself (if that doesn't count Takabe's wife, who ends up being the epilogue) . From start to finish, Mamiya becomes the manipulating the plot of the movie, so like many homicidal movies, the killer ends up being the victor. But the flaws of the film are also obvious. Under the seemingly strong personal imprint of Kiyoshi Kurosawa, the film does not actually step out of the framework of traditional murder movies in many places; Jerky, and hypnotic passages often appear unconvincing.

When I first saw Acheng's "Common Sense and General Knowledge", I didn't understand the catastrophe of the past ten years as a huge hypnosis show, but this film really confirmed the conjecture in my heart. It turns out that in the group, when the individual's IQ and discernment ability decline, it is easier to fall into that kind of personality worship. It turns out that some people consciously let the public unconsciously enter self-hypnosis. As for the ways, the most obvious ones are those that you want to see every day and those that you don't want to see, brainwashing ~ there are even more powerful ones, hahahahaha, can't say.

Yakusho Koji is worthy of being Yakusho Koji. I think when he was about to collapse, he held it, and finally when I was about to collapse, he still held it. Kurosawa Kiyoshi is an amazing director. You can say that this subject matter is very fascinating, and the various symbols are confusing. But what a wonderful choice he used to tell the fragile state of human emotions in the face of illness and time with such a story (this is the case in many of his movies). Before the film is a huge Janus Films, is CC coming out, gkd
