Secondly, I think the ending can’t be illogical, because if you don’t talk about Miike as the director, you can at least consider Shinya Tsukamoto and Tadanobu Asano. The big names are invited here, and they are adapted from the best-selling comics. Although the story is bloody and murderous, but the film lens and other aspects of the technology are solid, so the argument that the ending is nonsensical is not tenable.
Therefore, the conclusion is summarized as follows:
1. Yuanyuan was definitely not killed by Ah Yi, because he had no wounds on his forehead, then there is only one possibility for his death, that is, he will have hallucinations and fall to his death. It is logically reasonable. Talking about Yiyi, when Gakihara pierced his ears, it was very likely that he pierced his brain, or it didn’t matter if he didn’t pierce. At least Ayi, who fell to the ground and lost his slaughter, couldn’t bring him pleasure anymore. , Whether in hallucinations or despair, committed suicide by jumping off the building.
2. Is Ah Yi dead or alive? In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Ah Yi is dead or alive, at least it can prove that Xiao Wu is not dead, and the last boy in the scene is Xiao Wu, because he is related to the crow, in the movie it is Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu feeds the crow He overeated, and his hand was pecked by a crow. In the camera, when Xiaowu turned around, a crow flew by. Xiao Wu did not die, at least it also proved that Yuanyuan had only hallucinations. What about Ah Yi, Ah Yi was obviously kicked by Xiao Wu, kicked to death, or had lost the courage to kill and no longer needed. Describing him, these are possible, but they are not important, because these results themselves are not different.
3. Regarding Xiaowu, has Xiaowu become the next Ah Yi? At least from the time he kicked Ah Yi, it showed that he was no longer cowardly. At least he was hallucinated at the time when he did Ah Yi, or it was real. The knot that has not been untied, faced with the girl who saved him. X, he can do nothing. When Xiao Wu finally appeared, his leg was limping. This shows that when Xiao Wu kicked Ah Yi, he kicked desperately, so that he kicked his leg with excessive force. , This can be seen from the excitement of Auntie to the expression of looking back at the rooftop, and the scene of Xiaowu kicking Ah Yi in the camera, so Xiao Wu became the next Ah Yi, and it doesn't matter whether he is cowardly or not.
4. Uncle's death, Uncle died by suicide, or by Xiaowu? In fact, logically speaking, suicide is less likely, because Uncle has no reason to commit suicide, and he is the instigator of the director's play. Secondly, as commented by Douyou, there is really no suicide by hanging himself on that high tree. It is necessary and difficult to do so, so Uncle's death was done by Xiaowu, which is also logical. From the movie, the crow flew by Uncle, and the shot of Xiaowu that appeared immediately after him and the flying by him. The crows are heralding all this.
The above summary is also thanks to the enlightenment of other bean friends' comments on the ending. Overall, I think this understanding is logical.
And the movie itself is highly recommended. The Japanese-style violence, extreme and repressive catharsis is more subtle than Europe and the United States, but it is not just jaw-dropping cruel.
