Murder is really cool and cool

Intriguing movie.
In shooting, the back of the head and the long shot are its characteristics, which make the whole story happen calmly.
In the editing, there are constant interspersed and flashbacks, allowing the audience to try to find some clues.
Soothing shots and music turn into manic sounds at the end.
And the outburst of the good boy who was submissive at the last moment really shocked us.
The reasons for the crimes of two high school students can be slowly found out from the movie, there are too many.
It is family, school, and social factors that ultimately lead to their madness.

    It looks depressing, I don't like it

    There are long shots but no planning and scheduling, just follow behind the scenes, so long that it only feels long~ There are multiple narrative lines but no narrative meaning, any foreshadowing of any character ends in a bullet~ Want to respond to school violence is all around us , and does not have any critical position, but it feels so simple that it looks like a student work~
