Odin, the Norse gods, the main god of the Aesir gods, the division of victory, poetry, wisdom and death, because most of the gods are from him, also known as the "father of the gods", two crows perched on his shoulders, respectively "thinking" And "memory", there are two wolves, namely "greed" and "gluttony", all the meat contributed by people is fed to the wolves. In order to bring wisdom to the gods, he was willing to lose a look at himself, and he suffered from hanging upside down. In every aspect, he was a benefactor of mankind. When visiting the human world in private, if they bring war, they wear an eagle helmet; if they bring peace, they wear a black cloak.
Hasumi's belief in mythology led him to fear and revere the god Odin, which is why he tried to kill the crows that often perched on the telephone poles near his house, and the man and woman who escaped became a man and a woman in his eyes. The incarnation of the crow, and even the god Odin himself (because the god Odin lost one eye to bring wisdom, and the crow who escaped and the female student who finally escaped appeared in the image of blind and clear eyes), wearing a The black cloak brings peace to his arrest.
The relationship between Lotus and the crow is a more metaphorical part of the film. Lotus once killed a crow, that is, he killed one of "thinking" and "memory"; and when two students cheated to death under the guise of escape routes Take off the clothes on the body, it should not be because the clothes in the film are embroidered with names or student numbers, but the clothes of the two people are complete, and they will not be hit by guns when escaping. Blood stains on the cloth of the escape channel ( It's not too much trouble to take off and put on, this setting is completely for the two to put on a black cloak later), so after Lian Shi aimed and shot the falling men and women, he believed that everyone had been killed. It is an omission of thinking. That is to say, what Lianmi killed before was his own "thinking", and the gun he used kept turning into a perverted companion who was killed by him in the United States, which also proves that what has been torturing and guiding his thoughts and actions is "memory".
According to his memory flashbacks, the perverted companions in the United States will put their eyes on their mouths and chew slowly. The butcher's dress is likely to symbolize that this American companion eats cannibalism, so what he represents is "gluttony"; The greedy ones are all the human beings and society in contact with Lianshi, and the two "wolves" have been "supported" by humans. When he was in the United States, his perverted companions murdered recklessly for the enjoyment of killing, and he worked in a bank because he had to hide the truth and was threatened not to come to the United States again. What I saw is believed to be the criticism of many schools. The unsightly and deliberately ignored phenomena such as harassing students' parents, homosexuality, sexual harassment, bullying, and student cheating have once again stinged Lianshi. His behavior can be said to be extreme. Fascist-style "purification", with extraordinary calm and wisdom, allows him to remove all people who are deeply sinful in his own way.
There is no doubt that Lotus will die. As for the female student who finally rejoiced with Lotus, she did not die, and the female student who escaped said in horror, "He has already started the next game." I think this may represent the girl who almost fell to her death. The student is already pregnant with the child of Lotus, this child will grow into another "Lotus" in a society that is hated and feared, and strives to become a good image that both superiors and subordinates need on the outside, but the closure of the inner world will not. known to anyone.
The love between Maejima Masahiko and the male teacher is full of twists and turns. In the name of sex, it is called innocence, and it is twisted and pessimistic because it cannot be tolerated. The male teacher's male puppet is imprisoned on the table and his head is locked in a cage; while the boy in Maejima Masahiko's painting escapes from the cage, but loses his true colors.
The film is as famous as "Confession" for its dark inside story and cruel methods. "Confession"'s ingenious and colorful characters' inner world analysis and interlocking compact plot make it a perfect classic. Many of the pictures that contain dark aesthetics are like a catchy poem permanently frozen as the subject of camera teaching. And "The Book of Evil" inherits the bad taste and heavy taste of Miike Tsongshi, with Lianshi's memory as a line, Lianshi's reality as a line, and the behavior of teachers and students who discovered the truth as a line, interweaving and trying to cover up a story. The story of a simple anti-social personality, after the visual violence, explains the past and future of Hasumi and its hidden ways to the viewer, and even ends in a hurry to solve the case, it is really hateful. I think the director may have been very aggrieved when he paved the way for the subsequent killings in the first half, because from the first shot of Lianshi, the second half completely returned to the bestiality with the accompaniment of "MACKTHEKNIFE", the social distortion and the failure of education Let Lotus become the heinous robber McKee, constantly fighting for the so-called justice, smiling and saying, "We have no responsibility at all". Lifting up Armstrong's statue is the best evidence of his psychological obsession with civilization.
This was supposed to be the most romantic moment in the whole movie
Hasumi's favorite word, magnificent, magnificent; great, noble; gorgeous, noble; magnificent. The students in the film said that this word is used to express the moving and admiration beyond human wisdom. The pursuit of ultimate beauty is expressed in the ultimate evil, just like Escher's masterpiece "Angels and Demons". Whether it is the wickedness of the whole society that wrote the "doctrine of evil" by Lotus, or the model of evil written by the society with the simple evil of the individual, is the director's intention.
The metaphor in the film is directly aimed at the repressed people in Japanese society, and it is possible to become a part of the anti-social society. It seems that Zhongliang was spitting everywhere and was killed by Lotus on the train. There was a sharp weapon covered with blood and hair at home. is one of the symbols.
The episode "MACKTHEKNIFE" in the film is very classic, even more terrifying in the festive atmosphere of blood and flesh. It was originally from the original version of Bertolt Brecht's "Three Cent Opera" in 1931, and was adapted into a jazz style by Bobby Darin, which is more popular. America in 1959 topped the charts for 9 consecutive weeks, becoming a classic and being covered many times. It can be said that the appearance of this song has completely sublimated the inner world of Lianmi as a killer and the spiritual meaning of good and evil in the second half. The blood in the whole body is erupting with the madness of Miike. If the "chaos" of this film is a major criticism, then the appearance of this song has completely cleaned up all the shortcomings.
