The film has Tetsuya Nakajima's stylized lens language, which is sharp and intense, and tells a bloody cruel story with a very forceful picture rhythm. It is said that the film here in Japan is to encourage students to watch and offer discounted fares, but because the film was too violent and bloody, it was strongly protested by the parents of the students, and the director had to apologize in public. I don't think the
director introduced this measure just to increase the box office (in fact, after seeing the first half of the film, I also agree that those arrogant children should be allowed to watch this movie, just like they should be allowed to watch "A Clockwork Orange" too ), he wanted to let those restless children see that if they let their own desires expand, it would be a deep vortex, and they, together with their family and the people around them, would be
doomed. Just like the anti-drug propaganda film, in addition to advocating everyone not to touch drugs from the perspective of sunshine and harmony, it also shows the harm caused by drug use from the negative side, so that people stay away. There is a kind of original intention to use violence to control violence.
It's just that I don't have the heartfelt approval for the evil from the beginning to the end of this girl with the face of an angel who is actually a devil.
Some people may say that the parents are not in harmony, the father is alcoholic and manic, and the mother is emotionally derailed. So the child becomes bad.
Nowadays, there are too many children who have stumbled and blamed their depravity on their parents' indifference to them, which led to their broken pots. While sympathizing and sighing, have we ever thought that a child's growth is multi-faceted, family, school, friends and relatives around, and even neighbors. But the biggest foundation is from the psychological construction of the subject. Human is a complex animal, a complete human being composed of hundreds of millions of neurons. If only the original sin is attributed to the father and mother, I feel that the integrity of human beings is too underestimated.
Is it possible for a bad boy to say openly: My parents don't love me, so I have enough reasons to wear handcuffs, and here to explain to you my unfortunate childhood, I am pitiful and sad, and worthy of sympathy. You should all tolerate my faults, even if I kill someone.
Of course, I can't deny the importance of the family to the establishment of the child's worldview, but the family does not exist independently of this world, just like the child does not live in a vacuum family environment.
The above text is not like a movie review, but more like a movie viewing experience, which is a little thought of me as an ordinary audience. (After watching the movie, I really want to find the original book to read, because the text will give people more room for understanding.)
