Kitano's films always make people look at it with a very ambivalent mood, like opening a gift, wanting to be surprised, but afraid of not liking it, ha ha. However, "Zatou City" is indeed a good gift. From the cold-blooded stateless teacher in Battle Royale to the stateless and declining director in Long Live the director. Until now, the city of Zatou. Every movie is stateless. This statelessness is not inaction or emotion. In fact, this statelessness is like you are watching a plain movie, but you are really excited in your heart. I prefer this feeling to be classified as a stateless movie. "Zato City" is a very typical example of this. The blind man lives in other people's lives, and what is happening to others is happening, but the ending is controlled by that stateless person. The ending is also the kind of ridicule that makes people feel the director's heart. It's wow, no matter how you open your eyes, you can't see it. Indeed, just like the truth of the facts, sometimes we can’t see it with our eyes wide open. We can only close the glitz and discover with our heart, ha ha. I like watching the Baga who keeps running around the house with this bamboo spear in the play, haha. I like the statelessness, here, it is really stateless, but for complex life and complicated life, who says statelessness is not the best state. What you want to present is often not fully understood by others. At this time, you just need to experience the "state" with your heart. Run, stay with dreams, love, and status.
The rhythm of the film is still very comfortable. I always feel that the blood in it is too crystal clear. Maybe this is what the director meant. It makes people stay away from blood and only beautiful violence.
