Takeshi Kitano's film is to face the bleak reality. Compared with the little freshmen in Japanese movies, Kitano's characters and scenes are not so "beautiful". This is the unique aspect of Kitano Takeshi's films. He does not use the beauty of appearance to move the people watching the film, but directly moves the less delicate real faces into the screen-indeed, there are so many beautiful faces in reality. , Where there are so many poignant and pure, probably, are those ordinary beings like you and me. But the emotion is real. Mr. Mu Xin said that beauty is love. A person with flawless beauty, even anger is cute, and even unfeeling is discounted by one-third without making people so annoying.
