      The World of Kanako--Desire is Morbid Desire

      I watched this movie because of Tetsuya Nakajima (the previous confession). As a result, I fell in love with Komatsu Nana. There is only one main axis in this film, and that is Komatsu Nana/Kanako. Is it an angel or a demon? But in fact, it contains many different elements, including the father's abnormal love for his daughter, his actions like a nightmare, in all kinds of bizarre incidents, the father is looking for...

      The World of Kanako--Emptiness and Desire





      Everyone has a beautiful and empty longing in their hearts, knowing that they will be hurt and going back to embrace them regardless of their health. You are too lonely, you are too lonely, you are attracted to her, and in the end, when you are on the verge of ruin, you begin to regret it until you don't regret it. If you...

      When the seemingly ordinary desire is infinitely enlarged, it will become extremely terrifying

      In fact, it's a little unclear. So, after watching it for the first time, the visual impact is very big, and the plot has been lingering in my mind. Every day I seem to think of the content of the movie and chew it repeatedly. I have always wondered why the movie is called desire. Now that I think about it, it may be that everyone in the movie has a desire that goes against worldly concepts. Kazuko has always been eager to avenge her boyfriend so as to release the more evil thoughts in her...

      more lonely ways

      The daughter in the film is undeniably a thread throughout. So I want to briefly describe my understanding of the film from Kanako's point of view.
         Kanako is lonely, her parents are divorced, because of her father's vices, and because of her mother's neglect. If the container of love is a cup, then Kanako's cup is just filled with a little warm water - love cools and evaporates over time. With time comes deeper loneliness and the restlessness of adolescence.
         Kanako uses more...

      It is better not to give birth to eugenics

      One star for Yakusho Hiroji and one star for Nakatani Miki
      The original author said that all the unbearable memories of his dark youth were written in this book, so from the very beginning I had high hopes for "Desire" Expectation, however...
      there is a lot of dark elements in the film, every word I love you uttered by Kanako is like a curse, and every character's longing is the beginning of their nightmare. The father's incestuous yearning for his daughter, the boy's pure affection...

      There are good concepts, bold attempts, and stylized dazzling skills, but they have not done the most basic storytelling. The narrative is not important, there are too many characters and lack of focus. The whole film is a group of spirits who just love Kanako The demons of the extreme state dancers. Fortunately, the core meaning of "desire" is still highlighted, and the director is playing crazy, so it's good to release Tetsuya Nakajima's normal...

      The whole film is like a psychotic drug that is in a state of high excitement and anxiety from beginning to end. The power of the image directly hits the retina, making people unable and unwilling to stop thinking, who is the angel and who is...

      Just kidding, such a script is like throwing a piece of ice into a frying pan. Can you not fry the pan in the Japanese public opinion circle? After reading it, you will know why the Taijun's big and small comments made such an extreme evaluation of this...

      His father is so wretched and perverted that he wants to vomit! Komatsu Nana is beautiful. But this kind of character is really annoying! The transformation into Alice was so bloody and heavy. Nakatani-san really should have stabbed her to death. Thumbs...

      Although this kind of editing is a bit wonderful, it is just unlovable. Part of the violent aesthetics borrowed from Quentin, but it was also unpleasant. The character of the wife and husband Mu Cong is a bit stupid, and the camera did not let him and others stand in the same picture at the same...

    Evaluation action

    From "Confession" to "渇き. ", Tetsuya Nakashima is extremely pessimistic about human nature, and he should be able to reach a perfect consensus with Xunzi who advocates "evil nature". Especially for the next generation, it has almost reached the point of giving up and hating. In "Confession", the group of high school students is still a collective consciousness, but in "渇き." ", the heroine and the entire generation are indifferent to...
