      Destruction and Rebirth

      The first time I saw the director's film, I was terrified. After watching it, I was completely blown away. Watching the film can accumulate practical experience of "pain and happiness".
      The director is a cruel person. Cruel to the actor, cruel to the audience, but the most cruel is to himself, the actor is mainly responsible for presentation, and the audience is mainly responsible for receiving, and he left his footprints everywhere in the barren ruins after the disaster, and found a...

      Alternative warmth

      I don’t know why I always like to compare Sonoko and Miike Takashi together. Both of them are prolific directors known as “Ghost Talents” and enjoy a certain reputation both at home and abroad. It takes a few chews to read. However, compared with Miike, who attaches great importance to the aesthetics of visual violence, the violence in Sonoko Wen's film exists more simply because of the needs of the plot. Because of this, I will calmly accept the bloody scenes in his film and not think about...

      choose the unfortunate way

      It took me two days to finish watching "Mediocre". During the two days, I have also been digesting the psychological process of Sumita that collapsed at the beginning, and then went crazy until the end. The feeling is very subtle, because after watching "Parasitic Beast", I felt that Someya will be too melancholy and confused, so I watched "Mediocre" again. I was not disappointed. It's that unrequited face, heartbroken and heartbroken.

      After reading a few of its film reviews, I...

      cry of mediocrity

      They say ordinary is precious, but ordinary is the hardest.

      This was originally a story of despair. Although the last glimmer of hope in the movie still exists, the misfortune that has been caused is irreversible, and the imprint of the character cannot be changed.

      The misfortune of personal destiny is more inclined to the theory of original sin, and the families of male and female protagonists without any reason are equally distorted and perverted, which is confusing. If the...

      Just right

      Everything we know, except ourselves.
          At least in Sono Ziwen's movie, every Japanese is a mental patient.
          After the earthquake, this morbid condition continued unabated. Fortunately, the temperature of the garden was a little less cruel this time.
          In terms of perversion, it is not comparable to "Mysterious Circus"; in terms of pornography, it is not comparable to "Sin of Love"; in terms of dullness, it is not comparable to "Kiko's Dining Table"; in terms of blood, it...

      The biggest mistake I made was expecting too much from it. The movie uses the most violent and morbid details to tell a most unsavory spiritual story; everyone is the only flower in this world with a dream. PS: The character played by Rijigao in the original work was naked and had sex with Zhengzao! The originally great ending has also been changed, with a "bang" sound like a film...

      Like Lily Zhou’s emotional catharsis many years ago, it’s really appropriate to use the repressed teenagers with discordant families as this theme. There have always been long shots of post-quake Japan, and the last refueling should be for the whole of Japan,...

      It was a mess, and many interesting scenes from the original book were deleted. Zheng Zao turned into a down-and-out middle-aged uncle, obsessed with graffiti and even wanted to become a cartoonist, but was deleted by the unspoken happy fat man. The character played by Yuriko Rijigao in the original novel was naked and had sex with Masako! The originally great ending has also been changed, and the "bang" sounded like a movie noir. On the other hand, at the end of the movie, Smecta's man called...

      Yuan Ziwen's films are unique, with many familiar faces and seasoned newcomers. There is surprisingly no erotic elements in the headquarters, but a reflection on the Japanese spirit after the disaster, or even an awakening. The ending is also bright. Looking at another master coming...

    Negative review

    The darkness of society and the sins of human nature fill most of the film, and the repressed and resentful road to destruction by middle school student Sumita is so dark that it is hard to breathe. But this suffocating darkness did not last to the end. The haze of the earthquake and tsunami made Sion Sono make a compromise. The film that could have been dark and thorough was finally reduced to a complete film because of the too bright...
