The film is full of the solemnity of black and white films. The protagonist has the feeling of a drama actor. The performance is very deterrent-closing the eyes will clearly reveal the serious gray face and painful and stubborn eyes, releasing a deep bitter hatred. Power is enough to make people feel grief ==. Other characters, whether they are the playboys of the game life, the politicians who have earned their reputation, the uninspiring bureau staff, or the kind and straightforward girls, are symbolic but representative. Except for Fukada Kyoko, the performances are the same nonsensical and cute, and they are more vivid. Although there is also a lot of black humor and some warm nostalgia for family love, the main theme (especially the first half) is relatively serious and heavy.
The theme is not special, the characters are not special, and the story is not special. What's a little special is about the structure. In general, it is a distinct desire to promote and suppress. The first half is based on the protagonist’s perspective and experience, directly rendering the protagonist’s dreary and gloomy work life and the despair of the end-of-cancer search, but the value of life is always rare. After the protagonist is finally inspired, the camera cuts the photo of the protagonist at the funeral, and the early ending of the character becomes a powerful turning point in the tone. The second half is the dialogues and memories of the hero’s deathbed deeds performed by various characters on the stage of the funeral, gradually splicing how the author used his deathbed passion to make the impossible possible, resolutely and resolutely to make up for his life. "Finally, the process of completing the merits and gratifying the death. This way of restoring the facts through multiple perspectives is somewhat similar to Rashomon.
In short, it is a well-structured fable about life. The concise principles are boring to some people, but classics to some people. The passionate is passionate, and the past is mediocre. It is a miracle to be touched by this fable. It is also a miracle that the passion continues to burn. Most of them are just like people who return to a boring life after the passion extinguished in the last moment of the film, because we are all realistic and healthy. To talk about the value of the film as an educational film, or someone will start to accumulate courage and wait for an opportunity.
