      3-4×10 months

      A baseball game is being staged, and the situation is downside-down. Masaki, who belongs to the Incruz baseball team, looks at his defeated side with dull eyes. It does not matter whether the team wins or loses. It is not a taste of his indifference to teach his teammates to fight. He was on the bench when he officially played. He hit the air three times and caused the team to lose. The players were completely disappointed in him. Yashu was the team's last choice. Masaki is a gas station clerk,...

      "3-4 × October"


      Although this movie is the second film directed by Takeshi Kitano, it is the first film that can be called Takeshi Kitano. As the prototype of his future films, there are embryos of his future style. The Japanese name of the movie may be related to baseball, I don't know much about it. However, the English name boiling point has a direct subject. Only when you see the end will you find that the protagonist is actually looking for a word, boiling point. The point to make yourself burn. He...

      Four stars are a bit fictitious (this is not a movie review)

      This is not a film review, let’s count it as an afterthought


      To tell you the truth, I scored four stars for this movie, and I was imaginary in my heart. Because I really didn't understand what Kitano Takeshi was talking about. Originally wanted to play Samsung, but considering the respect of the fans, I added one star. The flow of the movie story can be seen clearly, but why did Kitano take this movie like this? Many absurd and unreasonable places....

      Actually life is a constipation

      Recently I re-watched Kitano Takeshi. After watching it carefully, I would like to make a systematic and personal interpretation of the director I love and admire. However, I suffer from the lack of a "Bad Boy's Sky", although it is only one. I still don’t act in a hurry. I can only give up the thought of systematic reviews. Saying one by one is an expedient method. After sorting out, maybe I can get the "Bad Child's Sky". It might be easier again.

      Let's start with "3-4x10 months"....

      The bastard who rode away happily on his beloved small motorcycle in the last second, sat on the side of the road with a bloodless second... Takeshi Kitano really has you! ! The protagonist seemed to say "Huh" throughout the film, and then he didn't say anything... The most favorite character is the bar owner. Although his style of behavior retains the rudeness of the underworld, he also has some cute points (wearing The colorful sweaters support the local baseball team, rush to the tennis...

      The style of calmness, alienation and omission in this film not only expresses the mental state of modern Japanese youth, but also has a political metaphor, namely the relationship between Okinawa and the Japanese mainland, through the aphasia of Yashu and friends in Okinawa, and The plot arrangements such as driving African-American women out of the car and shooting American men, also not shy about revealing their distaste for American colonial...

      20200205le. Ruowu has a main line, an absent-minded editing style, Kitano Takeshi, whose face was not deformed when he was young, dared to do whatever he wanted from a very early age, he is indeed a big guy. 3.5

      It turned out that I didn't really understand it after watching it. I probably just admired his shooting style and funny performance. After reading some film reviews, I added my vague thoughts when watching the film. I probably understood it, and I also found it interesting. I think Takeshi Kitano's ideas have a lot in common with most men or with me, so as a boy or someone who has masculine qualities in consciousness, I think Takeshi Kitano's movies will be liked to some extent,...

      Generally, gangster movies are made of social people in a cruel world, and they are nothing more than unwilling to be lonely and strive to fight and kill indulgence. Only Kitano Taken let a group of dung sticks and children be the protagonists, and he must call 100 bad guys to destroy the lair of evil forces at every turn. It is really childish. Kitano Takeshi’s innocence and his attitude towards the world are an improvement on the samurai movie withered zen. Although in the end it is always...
