The sea and the sky in [the summer of that year, the tranquil sea], the green fields in [Kijiro's summer], the delicate and bright kimonos in [Dolls] and the scenery of the four seasons of snow and moon flowers rotate... And in this, the perfect combination of violence and sadness It is his peak work [Fireworks]. As the title of his recent film [Two-sided Takeshi Kitano] says: half sea, half fire; half devil, half angel.

It is not difficult to see the continuation and development of "Fireworks" to "That Summer, Tranquil Sea", breaking out of love and dreams and moving towards gentleness in violence. The protagonist still lives in silence, and in the end, it is the sea that witnesses and bears death - from "Goodbye, hello" to "Thank you, I'm sorry", there is unshakable silence and kindness inside. The cool thing about Kitano Takeku is that he hardly uses facial expressions to convey the emotions of the characters. Instead, he relies on the unconventional editing of the first act, the stunning paintings in close-up, the soundtrack that makes the sadness and resentment by Hisaishi, and the short-lived fists and bullets. Perishable fireworks are juxtaposed with eternal patterns, and movement and stillness are designed to achieve a high balance. Although I know that he is only using his skills to make up for the defect of facial paralysis, his twitching face is really full of helpless resistance to the world.
