When writing a diary today, I wrote this sentence: Many people who like to write are very incompetent people in reality.
After writing this sentence, I feel a little sad.
It turns out that I am a very incompetent person in reality.
After admitting my incompetence, I was relieved.
It's a comfortable feeling, and it's a feeling I've been waiting for for a long time.
But I know that I am not reconciled, otherwise I would not be so upset after watching Imamura Shohei's "Vengeance Is Me". . .
When I was in school, I used to have this dream, dreaming that I had killed someone, and then I started to run away desperately - but the police always caught me, they shot me, and I would wake up in a cold sweat from the dream. woke up.
For the past two years, I've still had this dream, but the difference is that now I won't just run away, I'll be fighting wits with the police.
Sometimes I also grab the cops' guns and shoot the cops who try to get me.
Then I got away completely and the police couldn't catch me again.
That feeling of freedom and the vast sea and sky is really cool. . .
I think Gu Jinyan in "Vengeance Is Me" just wants to pursue such a feeling, running freely like a wild beast. . .
After watching "Vengeance Is Me", I am really puzzled, is this Gu Jinyan the murderer in the eyes of Shohei Imamura, or the hero who is against the system in his eyes?
I think the answer should be the latter, because this is clearly a modern epic.
Gu Jinyan, the most heinous murderer in the eyes of the world, is clearly a hero who used violence against the system.
In this world, there are too many people who despise the system with words, but Gu Jinyan in the film defies the system with actions.
A thousand years later, he might be another Odyssey. . .

    Many people talk about "imperial power" and "patriarchal power", but I don't think so. In fact, the film discusses the two extremes of human nature. The father and son are just on the left and the right. The father is calm and restrained, almost "pseudo";
