Genius and the helplessness of murderers

She killed someone by mistake, and he will take the blame for her. He loved her, at least he thought so.

At the beginning of the story, the real culprit and the whole story of the case are revealed. The reason for the audience to continue watching seems not to enjoy the fun of reasoning, but to see how this forbearance and profound unrequited love will continue.

He is a gifted mathematician. He teaches courses in an unnamed high school that students don't like to listen to. His daily life is chaotic and autistic. Only in the digital world can he find self-confidence with ease. However, the perfect mathematical model made him feel the meaninglessness of real life. He was determined to end his life. He knew that the world was so lonely that no one would care about his departure.

She appeared, as if destined to save him. With their young daughter, she moved next door to him, and they came knocking on the door just as the suicide was about to be carried out. "Please take care of me in the future." The sunny smile and sweet voice made him realize that there is still a good side in life, and he can still be nostalgic.

He regards the mother and daughter as the driving force of life. Every day through the thin wall listening to the sound of them getting up, going out and going home, listening to their chattering conversation and intimate laughter, I subconsciously regard myself as a part of it. Going out every morning, shrank in the cold wind, lowered his head and walked to her store to buy a bento. Seeing her warm smile, he carefully added two words. It's a blessing to exist like this.

Until her rogue ex-husband came to make trouble and was killed by the mother and daughter by mistake, the death of a rotten person ended the life he cherished so much. Without hesitation, he decided to protect them, in a tragic way that ordinary people could never imagine. With his brilliant mind, deploying a seamless puzzle is effortless.

He was even happy about it, finally having something to do his best, and finally appearing in her life justifiably. He made every careful plan and preparation, determined to trade his long overdue life for the safety of those he loved. He thought that everyone could get the happiness they wanted, but he never thought about how she could bear such a heavy favor.

The cover of Keigo Higashino's original novel says, "The most perfect trajectory, the purest love". It seems to be the highest level of love for one person's happiness until another person's life is sacrificed. However, in my opinion, this is more like a redemption of the self.

To love someone, isn't it the best and the hardest thing to live with? The method he chose, despite the huge price paid, evaded more important responsibilities because of its simplicity, and could not bring about a truly happy ending because of its extremes. He inadvertently manipulated her fate, and there is no room for negotiation, she can only accept it. He peeks into everything in her life and becomes the fearsome eye hidden in the dark corners. She even worried that she had just gotten rid of the shadow of her ex-husband and fell into his control again?

He never expected that she would not be able to remain silent after learning the truth. His life might bring her safety from the police, but it might rob her of inner peace of her life. So when he waited for the death penalty with a complacent smile, thinking that his plan was infinitely perfect, he didn't expect her to cry into tears and ran to the police station to repent. All his efforts were in vain, he was still the original loser, and he was still the one who could not escape his lonely fate.

Does the saved have the right to refuse salvation? He hadn't thought about such a possibility. Everyone is selfish. He chose heroic tragic and she chose suicidal honesty, all for the sake of a better life for himself. However, it seems too pessimistic to look at human nature in this way. It may be easier to be happy if you choose to believe that this is the deepest love and great devotion.

At the last moment he burst into tears, the book says, as if to vomit his soul. The film is much inferior to the original novel, but this one is the only one that makes people cry. Whether it is selfishness, selflessness, redemption, or love, after all, it is a sadness that touches people's hearts. The helplessness of life does not only exist in geniuses and murderers, but the loss that is difficult to carry out according to the longing exists in every ordinary person.

It's just that the loneliness of a genius is unimaginable for ordinary people. Everyone looks forward to becoming a genius, but has never thought about the pain on the other side of the genius mind. In Huang Shujun's song, "Genius is not genius, bad is not bad enough", we take it as the most vivid portrayal of our own regrets, but we don't know that in such a moderate stage, enjoying ordinary people's emotions is also fate. .
