underworld

Kitano's love for underworld themes seems to surpass all other themes. Perhaps in his opinion, there is no more extreme expression of the world's attributes of "the horror of ubiquitous authoritarianism" (Ye Tingfang) and "the 'law' of making fun of people's lives" (ibid.). . "There is no possession, only existence, only a pursuit of the last breath, the pursuit of suffocating existence."
''Are you okay? '' ''Very good'' ''Is there a cigarette? '' ''Yes'' Bang, exploded. . .
''An accident can happen on such a wide road'' ''A snake is crossing the road''
''If you are too afraid of death, you will wish you were dying. ''
Paperman, Kabuki, gun-changing games, sumo, trap games, musketeing, Frisbee, all the fun. . .
Suicide is an act of cowardice, an act of unconsciousness, and once you do it, you are defeated by yourself. Man can be destroyed, but not defeated. ---Hemingway wanted to live meaningfully.
