The film "Suicide Shop" is a very novel subject in terms of its name, so the following is an analysis of this film in terms of genre.
From the point of view of the narrative method, the causal linear structure is used as the narrative driving force. There are falling birds, kicked stools and hanging feet in the film, as well as the strange rule of not committing suicide on the street. These are used to strengthen the "reality" and make the audience better participate in the play. It is the so-called consumption that affects production. It led to the "suicide shop".
From the perspective of character creation, their names alone are worth pondering. The prototype of Yukio Mishima, his father, committed suicide by cutting his belly. In the film, when his father showed his customers how to commit suicide, he committed suicide by cutting himself. This is related to his persistent and cold personality. inseparable. Mother Lucrece is a character in Shakespeare's "The Humiliation of Lucrece" and committed suicide after being humiliated because of her beauty. The prototype of the older brother Van Gogh committed suicide with a gun. The prototype of the sister Marilyn Monroe committed suicide by taking a lot of sleeping pills, and then dancing in the bedroom naked in the room is more in line with the sexy image of the prototype.
From the perspective of image expression, the film's gothic style from beginning to end is interspersed with musicals, and the film's narrative and singing and dancing are inseparable. The lyrics are more proof. From explaining the background at the beginning to explaining the characters in the middle to promoting the development of the plot, singing and dancing play a great role in this film.
From the beginning to the end, the dark color is the main color, and only the suicide store is warm, but even if the birth of the youngest son changed all this, but in the end, the street is still a dark street, the environment is also, and only The crepe shop is warm. This shows that suicide is still a viable solution for people, just as Dad is still selling poisoned crepes in the end.
Judging from the deleted scenes of the naked sister dancing in many versions, the ending of this film is also made to meet the changes in values, just like we can't understand why people feel depressed at the beginning, but suddenly become sunny and transitional Too blunt, so I feel that the ending is a bit disappointing.
