After watching Oguri Shun's Hua Zelei, I became interested in his other works, so I searched for the introduction of his works, and saw this "Blood High School". I thought that this was the strongest youth-related film in Japan, but I watched it because I wanted to see Shun Oguri's expression other than melancholy.
The opening chapter is completely in line with the preliminary prediction in my head, the violent and perverse character expressions, the crazy body language, and the symbolic Lily of the Valley High School, from the first scene, I was blown away by the strong black air. The venue is attractive, and Oguri Shun's appearance also has a touch of impressionism. His image and performance make me no longer connect with that warm and melancholy Huaze class.
The extreme violent aesthetic begins with the sound of heavy metal music, and the characters take turns. In order to surpass his father, Genji wanted to stand on the top of the lily of the valley and see the scenery there. The black sky, the black crow, the black school uniform, the firm pace and the youth full of blood, unfolded in front of me one by one. The director did not arrange all the characters involved, but they were all flesh and blood, bravely facing life, wanting to break through in the ordinary and mediocre life, the fate of a small person.
The background of the whole film can hardly leave the modern society of reinforced concrete. When you look at those steel brackets created by the so-called civilized people, you will feel the icy shudder. The irresistible blood boils.
As a real little guy, Ah Quan, under the influence of Genji, began to realize his own consciousness, began to face life again, and had a new passion and love for life.
Toshisheng, a mutual friend of Genji and Serizawa, was hospitalized due to illness. When the doctor told him that he had only a 30% chance of being cured of malignant tumors, a rare warm color appeared on the screen at that time. Behind the blue-gray windows of the hospital, the sun was flying. However, you will only feel that a kind of sadness pervades.
"Hot-Blood High School" perfectly combines the aesthetics of violence, music, characters, and concerns about the lives of little people in real life. This is not a movie that promotes violence in a simple sense. If someone thinks so, I think that It's because I can't see the struggles of life and effort, proof, and value beneath it.
The final battle of the peak began in a majestic rain. They went to the battlefield like heroes. When Shisheng had only a 30% chance of survival, they had to walk to meet that opportunity.
Black sky, black quagmire, black umbrella, black crowd, only Serizawa's umbrella is white, I knew then that in this war, there is no loser.
When the rain in the sky stopped, the sky sprinkled with gorgeous sunset glow like blood. At that time, the song "Hero live in you" remembered that Genji and Serizawa finally stood face to face. Reminds me of the unknown competition in my life. Perhaps the director also has a deep meaning, that is, if all competitions in this world are not so fair, the world will get the final peace.
The heavy metal music reminded again that the two began the final peak duel under the sunset in the evening.
Sometimes, I think, we should face our own life with such passion, instead of being mediocre because of reality.
If cowardly, I am willing to choose brave.
