The protagonist still has only a few lines. Violence and warmth coexist. The paintings are integrated with reality. The romance of Kitano Takeshi is blooming in the sky.

The death of his daughter, his wife's incurable disease, the death of a colleague, the disability of a close friend, the debt of usury... It seems that everything in life is full of despair and helplessness, just like the painting full of snow words, life has fallen into a cold winter, only The love that is about to come to an end is like the last light that gives Xi the last trace of warmth, but the last scarlet word of self-determination also indicates that all this will eventually usher in a sad ending.

Xi Ta's pain is not heart-wrenching: he takes care of the family members of colleagues who died in the line of duty, cares about his close friends who are disabled due to work, and even pays off the debts he owes... His love is not vigorous either: he goes home and brings his wife some food. snacks, play tangram and poker with my wife, take my wife to the place she wants to go…

During the period, Nishi's robbery, fighting and killing were neat and full of laughter and ridicule, which formed a rich texture contrast with the soothing emotional line. With Jo Hisaishi's music, Kitano Takeshi's violent aesthetics brought a double impact to the audience's audiovisual.

In the end, in the seaside full of laughter and laughter of the girls, the West and his wife snuggled together with two gunshots to end this flamboyant and fleeting life like fireworks... sad but happy.

    The film is quite calm, and the joys and sorrows of modern samurai are reflected in ordinary urban life. The archive at 2012.8.16.7pm still makes people love it. The cold face is hard to resist the tragedy of fate, and the last trip reflects the love for life.

    Kitano is not really a great director, but the unique shots, editing, use of children's visual elements in all his films, his personal performance and Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack give his films a strong personal style. In the final analysis, his films always show childishness, warmth, disdain for the world and a kind of distorted optimism under the appearance of stupid, rude, and desperate, and this film is no exception.
