The reason why I say this is a romance film is that I personally think that although the title of the film is the killer Hajime, the protagonist is not Hajime, but the big-mouthed comrade Kagakihara on the poster. The story itself also has three threads and many small contrasting strokes.
Main line 1, Haji's murder and being killed, begins to explain at the beginning of the movie, Haji kills, very bloody murder, from the eldest brother of Ansheng's group, to Karen who enlightens Haji for love and solves his murder confusion. On the other hand, Hajime is cowardly and timid in life, a marginal otaku who cannot adapt to social life. A poor boy with a dull expression, crying and using his own instinct to kill, because of a ridiculous rape story he can't distinguish between good and evil, he struggles with his own sexual instinct and sin, he longs for love, a prostitute gives him Love. The formation of this mainline system constitutes the macro aspect of the violent scenes of the entire film.
The second main line, Yuanyuan, the number one general of the Ansheng group, his love with Ansheng Fangxiong is based on a violent emotional factor. Brother An Sheng is a violent man, but Yuan Yuan likes this kind of perverted love that gives him infinite pain and excitement. And most importantly, he fell in love with An Sheng because of this need in his heart, so he could go crazy to find An Sheng, and use his unique way of doing things to find the love he lost. But when he saw the scene after Ah Yi's murder, his inner surging and excitement had already made him burn and forget about Big Brother An Sheng, and he began to search for Ah Yi frantically. And Karen, who loves him, enlightens Hajime because he can't satisfy Kagawara's inner longing, which kills himself and fulfills Kaghara's love. In the end, although Kagawa imagined that Hajime helped him find the violent love that he longed for in his heart, he got his love, and he struggled for his perverted love all his life.
Main line three, Uncle and Xiao Wu, although Uncle has not many scenes, he controls the whole process like a puppet master, but at the same time Uncle is also a victim of this society. Uncle is a revenge, that is to say, Ah Yi is a killer, and Uncle is also a killer. And it is this society that creates these killers. Uncle has planned his murder purpose from the beginning, organized and planned, facing the feasting and feasting of Shinjuku, the rapid development of a modern city, the surging of people's hearts is not as bright as those bright neon lights displayed in front of people. People live with unnecessary masks, and pressure is everywhere. In order to survive, the police can become a triad, and the triad can become a policeman. Society is developing because of people's greed, and people's hearts are confused and degenerate because of the colorful society. But when Uncle completed his murder plan, he was disappointed. Yuanyuan was not killed by Ah Yi as he had hoped. Uncle's lost eyes and bleak back finally hung himself on a tree. Maybe the moment Uncle saw Yuanyuan's body, he saw that people's hearts can be destroyed by material things, but the hidden feelings still support what some people are looking for - what Yuanyuan has been pursuing. Expected love. In addition, it was Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu and his father opened Ah Yi's heart, Ah Yi wanted to give up killing, and at the same time Ah Yi opened Xiao Wu's road to murder, and the society went round and round like this. The next killer may just continue to survive in the cracks.
Through the three main lines, the bloody violence is pieced together into the whole picture under the construction of the Yuanyuan line and the A line, and what affects all this is the thirst in the heart of every person who is struggling to live. .
At the same time, the contrasting pen of the story and the perfect combination of the three main lines, such as Xiao Wu being bullied, Ha Yi's cowardly performance and instinctive reactions such as murder, and Xiao Wu's father's transformation from a policeman to an underused triad member, people yearn for others' love Recognition, concern, but what society has handed over to the world is indifference. These film strokes make the killer Aichi not a perverted and bloody film, but to find the remaining love in the hearts of urban people and the struggle of the helpless through this extreme method.
