But I finally finished watching the movie before lunch, and I got a general impression.
I remember a friend who liked Takeshi Kitano's movies very much. She also dragged her lazy voice and told me that the men in Takeshi Kitano's movies are real men. I said, that's because Japanese women are real women. And just like that, we had a heated discussion about real men and real women, but we forgot about Takeshi Kitano and his films.
Last night, when I was in a very bad mood, I found "Hana". I watched Takeshi Kitano's movie, so I remembered that friend I had never met and her real man, I couldn't help laughing, thinking about this movie can be regarded as a feeling of anticipation in my sluggish mood, so I have always had a lot of love for Japan. Out of frustration, I decided to take a look.
1. The Silent Man
Tanaka is a man of few words and a policeman.
He is not good at expressing his feelings and has a terminally ill wife. And his daughter died before his wife got sick. Tanaka had to bear enormous psychological and economic pressure for this. He borrowed money from loan sharks, and underworld creditors repeatedly pressed for debts. He hid everything from his wife so that she could live happily for the rest of her life. He also had a disabled colleague, and in order to free him from the shadow of pain, Tanaka also sent him expensive painting materials that he loved.
He looks cold and eloquent, but he has a delicate heart.
He loves those around him.
There are not many lines in the movie, it seems that they are all to set off Tanaka's taciturn. This permeates the entire film with Tanaka's delicate and authentic emotions. This silent man was indeed, as my friend with the languid voice said, a real man.
2. Violence of last resort
Tanaka likes to talk with his fists and bullets, even though he is a cop.
Much of the film is given to the silent man, his fist and his gun. And those real underworlds are somewhat innocent and wretched in front of him. Indeed, Tanaka was a policeman, a real policeman.
But the violence is indeed a last resort. Because he has someone who needs his protection. For this, he must protect himself first.
The director didn't hide anything about the violent scenes.
But for those warm scenes, the director used a unique humorous technique to add more warmth. Violence is a last resort, in order to maintain this slightly humorous warmth and happiness.
3. His love
Tanaka is a very emotional person.
For his partner and his wife, he is extremely caring.
Although he is not very good at expressing love, love is in his heart and is protected by him with all his strength.
The film expresses Tanaka's unexpressed love vividly and vividly, allowing us to see the love of a man with a rich inner world and the unique way he expresses his love.
Fireworks, short-lived splendor returns to calm. And what stays there forever is the love of a real man.
That's enough to make people move.
4. Girls
When the world is full of too many little men, the lack of real masculinity has caused us the aesthetic fatigue of female femininity.
But the man in Takeshi Kitano's lens is so charming, like a violent sea breeze, with its surging momentum of the tide, rushing towards us. And to those men who are feminine in idol dramas, I can only scoff at them and say, "Bitch!"
