The biggest wound is existence

I linked "All About Lily Zhou" with "Psychedelic Park" from the very beginning. I thought Shunji Iwai was trying to tell the under-appreciated teenagers' thoughts through a dizzyingly beautiful lens like Van Sant. But I was wrong, Hoshino's hatred made me tremble, when Yuichi cried and watched Kuno being raped, I suddenly found that Iwai was so cruel, this story has nothing to do with identity, it is just about despair.

I didn't understand for a long time where Hoshino's hatred came from, and a trip to face death really seemed thin. But sometimes people change so suddenly, people who were originally dirty don't care about ugliness and impermanence, only people who have never been stained with stains will collapse due to a little darkness and be at a loss for what to do - I don't really want to think of more than ten years ago. The child of , the pain of the past is now insignificant, the heart-wrenching things that make up the world. Over the years, I have stumbled and patched up, even if I refuse to accept it, I have always learned to face it calmly, but Hoshino can't find an opportunity to mend himself. Pure fragility can only evolve into destructive violence, destroying both the ugly and the beautiful - for the filth In terms of purity, it is so dazzlingly white and beautiful that it is disgusting. I suddenly understood why Hoshino let Yuichi kill Kuno, because both are so pure that they couldn't help but destroy them.

Tsuda asked for Yuichi's protection, but Yuichi was silent. So Tsuda said she wanted to fly on a kite. Iwai's shot is really beautiful, the kite is suffocating free in the bright light, and Tsuda's figure at the end falling to the side of the power tower is suffocating. I never thought Tsuda would die - because she smiled so carelessly, while Kuno was so quiet and strong. Iwai didn't take a picture of her falling, and we couldn't see her final expression, only the corpse lay quietly, as beautiful as autumn leaves.

Hoshino roared in the music, and the constant destruction could not resist such a deep despair, and he could never get rid of hatred. When he appeared as "Blue Cat" and easily destroyed Yuichi's last consolation, the servant who never forsook him finally chose to destroy his master. God is Lily Zhou, God did not lend a hand. The master is Hoshino, and the master no longer exists. Yuichi himself became the master.

This is not a student's story, this is existence. Please don't ask them why they didn't find their parents, their existence can only be borne by themselves.

In the end, Yuichi and Kuno stood quietly in the dazzlingly bright classroom. The light weakened them into two shadows, accompanied only by the music and the wind. If I hadn't known these pasts, I would have thought it was a pure campus story.

"The biggest wound is existence." - Iwai Shunji said.
