Film noir: innocent faces half-hidden in the night and sinful hearts gleaming in the light; the art of lighting; the historical label of "Chinatown" (and even more ironic today. When can I take off this hat??? There is a long way to go, my friends. Bah, beside the point).

Excellent - The movement of the mirror is smooth, relatively few editing, and the sense of recording is strong. Subjective shot: beautiful composition and strong interaction. (Special に: The first 5 minutes. Quickly pave the way and get to the point) Part of the suspense is expressed through the camera. 特に: Nursing home, showing the protagonist turning around and walking towards the camera, without showing what the protagonist saw. Relationship with Citizen Kane? 特に: A camera perspective that is cut off by the door brought by the protagonist. ⇨ With Hollywood classics (heterogeneous)? Cross with film noir characters.

Lack----On the other hand of the excellent part: in order to maintain the unity of the style of recording, the conflict brewed to a climax, and the film language expression lacked explosive force. There is a suspicion of relying too much on the lines. Special に: (sorrowed) Several golden sentences were taken from medium shots and less clip art.

Not a good time. Watch in between packing your luggage and your night bus journey. Frequent use of pauses interrupts the mood. But mixed with the great emotion of leaving, it seems to form a sense of detachment that shouldn't be: there is nothing that can't be washed away, the ugly and the beautiful, and to the extent possible, they will always maintain the vitality they should have.

Reminds me of the junior high school when I was forcibly entered. You never know what you are dealing with. Do you think you know something amazing? Sorry, that's part of what you're designed to know. Since then, he has believed in agnosticism and the idea that nature is inherently evil. With such emotions, resonate with the protagonist. Death and departure are the main character's final destination, and in reality, only the path of escape is a smooth path. Isolate yourself and the world, reject all possibilities, and don’t want to and no longer enter the game in confusion.

There are no trusted relationships and humanity that falls below your glasses again and again. Stability and justice are fish and bear's paws that cannot have both, and even an ethereal desert oasis. The truth is me and them exposed naked in the air, covered with corroded wounds and then festering.
