How do you differentiate between people, or between me and you, is it because of looks (or appearance)? Of course not. Although people look different, it is not enough to distinguish you from me. What really separates you from me is your own mind (spirit or inner). Unique thoughts create a completely different you and me, and various thoughts collide or merge to create this complex and beautiful real world.
Although the faces of the characters in this film are relatively vague, we can still distinguish and remember the corresponding characters through their habitual little actions. For example, Han Nan likes to break the match stick after lighting a cigarette, such as the white-haired boy reading the newspaper. Afterwards, they are always folded and neatly put away. For example, there is a person who is not too talkative to challenge the "Godfather" first, and the heroine is indifferent and the supporting actor indulges in "Mom Sang". It can be affirmed that these "inadvertently displayed small labels" in the film are exactly the effect the director deliberately pursues. When people pay more and more attention to the appearance and ignore the spiritual level (as can be seen from the domestic Hahan Ha Ri Ha S phenomenon), he uses Your own persistence reminds everyone to pay more attention to what's inside.
In today's youth group, few people really think about the "meaning of life and other issues", and the trend of more and more material and more superficial pursuits is unstoppable, which is enough to cause masters like Oshii Mamoru to worry. You can live in the moment (it's still quite popular), but you need to understand why you choose to live in the moment (the correct meaning of living in the moment is to take and cherish every minute of the moment considering the uncertainty of the future Counting every day and never thinking about the future is living in the present), just like although you have no ability to improve this corrupt social environment, you can keep your beliefs without complicity with them.
Finally, I want to say that a master is a master, and every setting is not useless. The film itself is the product of Oshii's beliefs. Don't expect it to be popular and accepted by the public, because it creates this impetuous reality. It is the majority of the society.
