The violence in the film is too savage, not aesthetically pleasing, and not painful like Kim Ki-duk, and it just makes me feel tired and bored after repeating it many times. And maybe because I didn't live in a Japanese environment, or because of the comics, it's hard for me to empathize with the heroine, I just think she's exaggerated, including the whole story, I can jump back and forth between understanding and not understanding. But I feel that the director's control of the audio-visual language is still very good. The thief's house and the nuclear power supporter's house are designed with more psychedelic two-color lights (I don't know if I remember correctly, I remember there are), the uncle's face is caught in the bright light, and the light seems to shine on him The heart is here - the light and the dark are changing, the ice and fire are double. There are also wooden houses in the lake next to the rented houseboats, which are like the social situation of the Shuita gang - they are far away from the group, they have not yet sunk, but they seem to be dead. The heroine's remarks about stones and curses are interesting, but in the end, they didn't seem to surprise me, but it was an image worth remembering. I like the ending of the film very much. It was the moment when I felt that the film really healed me. Sumita and the heroine ran together and shouted, "Sumita! Come on!" Over and over again, the shouts echoed in the lonely fields, not like chicken soup. Encouragement, no so-called rational preaching, no clumsy stroking, just almost paranoid self-promotion, they have not figured out why they want to live, they just want to live, and this is the reason why I live.
