Before watching this movie, I heard that the actors did not know who the murderer was, and even the director didn't know who the murderer was. Well, after watching it, I realized that the director didn't care who the murderer was. We just have to roam in the sandbox he made.
Speaking of "sandbox", we have to mention "sandbox game", which is characterized by being free from the constraints of the main line and side quests in a limited game world, and can be played and created according to your own preferences. High degree of freedom, random events occur, and creativity is strong.
Seeing this movie as a "sandbox movie" is really in line with the director's inexplicable and complicated intentions, and it's also in line with the film's half-covered breath from the skin to the cells. The audience themselves are already in the container of movie categories and modes. After watching the movie, they still wonder what genre the movie is in the container? Whether the murderer is Sanyu... It's like not watching this movie. Only by jumping out of the container can we roam in the world created by the director.
The characters in the film are ordinary people like the audience, and naturally they are also in the container. In the beginning, Shigesheng was a lawyer who didn't care about the truth and only cared about the victory or defeat of the judiciary. He had the appearance of a successful class, and he seemed to be able to handle Sanyu's case at his fingertips. He also fully accepts the rhetoric that Sanyu has changed many times, although there is no problem in doing so according to the lawyer's code. With the gradual contact and understanding, Shigesheng gradually changed his mind, and he became real. This realness was the result of jumping out of the container. It was his daughter, Xiaosaki, and Misumi who caused this result.
The role of Shigemori is undoubtedly one of the most important points in the movie, and another important one is Saki and her mother. The relationship between the deceased is depicted by the mother and daughter. In the kitchen, the scene where my mother approached Xiaosaki from behind really made people take a breath, and the emotion in the middle was revealed with the sentence "It's not just Dad who is bad", which added a lot of shuddering reverie.
It wasn't until I found out that my father had raped Xiao Saki many times that I put the sentence "It's not just my father who is bad" to the ground, but! Please pay attention to the first time Mom meets Shigemori and Shigemori's face-to-face meeting with her daughter and the scenes about Saki's bad legs. The mother pondered for a long time when she saw Chongsheng for the first time, which caused Chongsheng to look strange at the time. After that, her mother left a line of tears; then she had a face-to-face conversation with her daughter about why her daughter cried at that time. Showed his hand; Xiaosaki's bad legs and feet were said to be a lie, but it was not clear why he told such a lie. Later, Shigesheng mentioned lying about his bad legs and feet, and Xiaosaki vehemently denied lying. All of these places reveal that the truth is difficult to distinguish, and it is also the shadow that runs through the film. Because facts are only fragments we see and hear, and they are poured into containers. In such a container full of fragments, neither the characters nor the audience dare to assert that they fully understand the truth. . As for whether Misumi has gone to the river, I am afraid that only the restoration of the Basic Law was handed over to 99.9 Songrun, but what can be seen in the film is that Misumi did not even look at Kosaki from the beginning to the end even after the death sentence. Maybe it is really like As Shigemori asked back, it was just his own wishful thinking, and Xiaosaki's wishful thinking that Misumi killed his father for himself... wishful thinking to save Misumi. Sanyu did not express a strong desire to survive from beginning to end. He had buried himself in a grave with a cross when he murdered for the second time. He always felt that he should not have been born in this world. The third murder in the film shows Shige Sheng wiping his left face with his hands under the sunset, implying that he killed Misumi. Shigesheng has never believed that Sanyu was not the murderer, but the doubts of Sanyu's confession and the lack of witnesses in the case made him think that he could fight for it, why not fight? When the lawyer's assistant brother said outside the court that no one believed that Sanyu was not the murderer, Chongsheng's face was not firm but hesitant... At first, he wanted to guide the case in the direction of vendetta, but Chongsheng was unwilling and unable to do so. To seek a reflection of the truth.
Chongsheng finally asked the rare that you are... a container? Sanyu is not an empty and hollow container, but is in a container. Whether or not to plead guilty is poured into the container by lawyers, local prosecutors, and justice. Of course, this is also what the director poured into the audience's container. Only by jumping out of the container can you experience the ease of a released canary in this sandbox.
