After two hours, it was too depressing. The whole film has always been precipitated in the dark side of human darkness, which made me feel very good, and I felt depressed after watching the whole film.
The protagonist Sumita is a very ordinary junior high school student. His originally depressed personality and the island country just experienced a disaster, the whole person looks very decadent. My father was an idle rascal who came back from time to time to ask for money. The mother was also a half-tone, and it didn't take long for her to run away with her boyfriend. Originally not optimistic, Sumita firmly believes that people are ordinary, resigned to fate, and any amount of chicken blood is in vain. Immediately afterwards, my father owed a lot of debt, and it didn't take long for someone to come to collect the debt. Under the double pressure, Sumita finally murdered his father on a night when God was crying. I feel that the reborn self must have a reason to live, start to be a messenger of justice, do some public welfare for the world, look for criminals everywhere and kill them (unfortunately, without success). Finally, with the help of Nazawa, a female classmate who admired him, he slowly found himself and shot the former self by the river.
Director Wen Ziyuan originally wanted to use this film to appease the people of the island country who were hit by the nuclear radiation and earthquake disasters in Japan at that time. In this film, many people are sick, such as a woman who is willing to be naked, a smuggler who believes in Nazis in his room, a teacher and an old president who believe in a better future, and the irrational and lost self, to the singer "Forcing to ask" who is the uncle... In fact, there are so many truths and helplessness, all because you are too paranoid, so all you see are the scenery in the direction you are paranoid. I believe that this film can bring spiritual comfort to the people in the disaster area at that time, send away the past self, sharpen the weapons, and meet the next battle.
When the male protagonist rubbed paint on his face, it reminded me of a documentary by Wen Ziyuan that I watched before. Wen Ziyuan said in the documentary that human life is like a blank drawing board. If you do something wrong at a certain stage in your life, you will touch a line of paint of other colors. As you do more and more wrong things , the pigments are getting brighter and brighter and even turning black. At this time, it becomes filthy, life is broken, and there is no hope at all. Wen Ziyuan's film made people too dark, it made me feel so decadent...
