Looking at Tetsuya Nakajima's "Desire", his editing techniques are still going round and round. The MV-style editing at the front of the film is very characteristic of Tetsuya Nakajima, and the chaotic interspersed technique left me "overwhelmed".
At the heart of the film is that missing daughter, "Kanako," a character who never actually exists in the film. Kanako lives in the memories of others every time, and the characters are formed from a second perspective interspersed within the normal timeline of the movie. In the process, Kanako is portrayed as a demon with good looks who enjoys taking people to hell. Beauty is her weapon, and she is among them all, leading them all into a terrifying abyss, where they drown. If Kanako started out for revenge, then she was just to fill the void in her heart.
"You don't know what love is, because your here (heart) and here (brain) are empty." This is a sentence in the memory of the teacher who killed Kanako, how sad! Kanako, who had no love at all, was killed by a teacher who loved her daughter.
The other protagonist in the movie is Kanako's father, a criminal policeman with bipolar disorder who raped his ex-wife, beat others at will, and almost killed his daughter. He is such a scumbag image, which should be regarded as the thread in the movie. It is also quite rare. The protagonist who occupies the largest space in time turns out to be the character who ties everything together. With his footsteps, Kanako's image became clearer and clearer, and she changed from victim to victimizer.
Of course Kanako is angry, playing with someone who likes her and caring about her, destroying him, and laughing at her achievements. Faced with such a smile, the scumbag father, who has been looking for him, asked, "What are you laughing at?" In fact, Kanako was laughing at herself, and all those who were dragged into the abyss by her fell into the abyss like herself. in the pit, and can no longer climb up.
But Kanako is also pitiful. She could have had a happy family, but because of her scum-like father, the family was broken by herself. (I think this is also why my father's dream was to destroy a happy family.) People who lacked the love of their parents also had happy love. Ogata's love once made her feel warm, but it was also destroyed by the underworld. So Kanako became Wilde's Salome, became crazy in order to get love, desperate to become a demon in hell.
All the characters in this film are lunatics, Kanako who is happy to push people around him into the abyss, uncle with special hobby, gangster who follows the devil desperately, gangster who holds the power of life and death, policeman addicted to murder, sugary The laughing detective, the female teacher who kills for love, and the father who fell into his daughter's midst are all deformed. Coupled with the standard blood of cult films, they form a crazy world. Japanese movies always like to turn the society on the screen into this, sarcastically or secretly mocking the real society.
But the ending of the final movie made me feel too light, completely different from the crazy world before, the strong contrast made me not know what was standing out. The scenes of the teacher being forced to dig up the body twice are repetitive and redundant, and are completely unnecessary. Tetsuya Nakajima's style makes the whole movie magnificent, but the ending is too bland.
