The cruelty of Takeshi Kitano

I have seen "Extremely Wicked and Outlawed", and I understand Kitano Takeshi's character like a tiger, and I always let Nuonuo accompany him closely.
This movie has some vigor and more of a feeling of "letting time speak".
The whole movie is a cycle in the end and at the end, and after many years, the same thing happens again, but the parties are not all those who were in the past. Perhaps this is also a thought of Takeshi Kitano: It's not that he doesn't report, the time has not yet come. Causal loop.

Let's talk about Xinzhi first, this quiet and strong-willed boy, lost in youth. I don't know where my future is. A little detail is that Xiaoma has been persuading Xinzhi to smoke, but in the end it is nothing.

The character of the pony is more like a gangster, although in the end he also became a gangster. In the end, because of his youthfulness and lack of understanding of how to behave in society, he was taught a hard lesson and then retired, becoming a gangster. A homeless person.

Speaking of that softball, I forgot what his name was. He always has the feeling that he needs other people's opinions about his life, he can do whatever others tell him to do, and he is in a state of not daring to move forward when it comes to girls. To put it bluntly, he is very cowardly. This weakness of character is doomed to his tragic life of accomplishing nothing. Because in the face of love, in the face of career regression.

In fact, carefully these characters are the shadows of some people around them. Some of them just sit quietly about their own affairs, some people just like to make an uproar, and some people are just so weak.

However, there is also a supporting role that has to be said in this movie is Xiao Lin, with a sluggish expression and a walking posture with kidney deficiency. People can't even imagine that he is a boxer. Such a person chose a hobby that was not suitable for him in his middle age and could not get any value, so he began to embark on a crooked path, even close to Xinzhitao. To hinder his game, although he succeeded in the end, but I have to say that this kind of person is really that kind of black sheep. After his life was a mess, he started to show off and even deceive newcomers based on his seniority or qualifications. After letting the newcomer fail, tell yourself: There is another person like me in this world, and it turns out that I am not such a failure. These people in life are very scary. If you listen to even one of their suggestions, it will take many years of ups and downs to correct them, so it is very necessary to find a reliable partner or elder. But this kind of thing is so simple. Seven aunts and eight aunts are always by your side asking this question and then starting to be life mentors. Are they not Xiao Lin in real life?

The cruelty of Takeshi Kitano lies in describing the life of the characters in the movie with a praise angle in the early stage, but in the second half of the movie, he treats those who were once confused about life with a realistic look, as if they had found hope in life and finally fell into it. Desperate people in life.

Those who are lost are still lost in the end.
This movie also reflects this sentence. Many years later, when those teachers are old and they return to this school, many familiar things are also happening, and many people are entangled in the last sentence: Are we finished? ? Our life has just begun. Personally, I feel that this sentence is still a self-deceiving sentence, because at this time, they have experienced many things and have a certain understanding of life, but they are still not so sure, and they are still confused about what they can do. Although they will play happily together, it is very difficult to start again in life.

In fact, watching this movie reminded me of the people and events of the past, and it also gave me a feeling of déjà vu. The past youthful years are called memories, and they are no longer touched. Those who were right or wrong in the past are not important. , and more importantly, in the present moment.
