Is there hope in despair

"I don't like 'The Doll' yet, but the way the story is told is rather weird, and the story itself doesn't impress the audience."

When I got up from work, I posted the text left by my friend. Suddenly I felt the need to plead for Kitano Takeshi. (Just like I often fight for Zhou Xingxing) I
don't know if everyone sees "Dancer in the Darkness" (the one in which Bjoke was electrocuted for the first time), I think "The Doll" is somewhat related to her. The same inspiring middle part, the same desperate ending.
In the long-term relationship, I vaguely remember that he used a young man and a woman as the main line, and he inserted two short stories in the middle. Let's come one by one:

male fans and female singers and

female singers were very popular in those days, young and beautiful, and sought after by countless fans; male fans deeply love female singers, and their feelings are dull, and their appearance is not good; female singers always pay attention to the men who must watch the cutscenes , The man who waited at the door with flowers at the end of the music just to see her once.
One day, the singer had a car accident, ruined one eye, and quit the music scene. The loyal fans took flowers to visit her, and the girl avoided seeing her because of her beauty. After being repeatedly rejected, the dull man understood the girl's mind.
So, at home, he stabbed his eyes out.
Finally "see" to his goddess. .
In a later scene, some police officers were washing a pool of blood on the mountain road with water taps. The boy's chubby appearance and a dull smile appeared in the picture. . . .

The underworld boss and the woman waiting for her boyfriend

this time are a story of falling in love-separation-waiting-re-encounter-separation. The boy went out to fight the world and eventually became the boss of the underworld. As he grew older, he remembered his promise to the girl.
"I'll come back to pick you up when I have a name," the boy said as he left.
"Okay. I'll make your favorite bento every Saturday afternoon and wait for you here," the girl said.
(an unusually familiar scene)
So, the old man went to the park where he and the girl had changed to look for memories.
He saw a middle-aged woman in a red dress sitting on the same chair with a bento. She said to the passerby who was about to sit down, "I'm sorry, I'm waiting for my boyfriend"—everything went Like a dream.
They talked and had fun!
There was no agreement, the two still came here on Saturday, and the woman was still wearing a red dress with a bento. However, every time, the bento was given to this old man.
Then, there was a man who fired a shot in the back without making a sound when the old man left the woman and walked towards the car and the guard waiting for him. .

Then, let's talk about the couple.

A loving couple.
Because of the arrangement of the parents, the man had to marry a president, Qianjin. On the wedding day, the woman's friend told him that the woman was crazy.
He took her away, over all the places they had ever gone.
She regained her memory as she passed a holiday cabin.
Love also resumed.
Holding each other's hands tightly, it seems that the future is still very long.
Suddenly, her feet were empty, and she fell down the mountain with his people.
At dawn, I see them hanging on a cliffhanger, wearing exactly the same clothes as the pair of grieving dolls separated by some force at the beginning of the film.

. . . . . . . . . . .

I'm not moved, I'm desperate and in pain.

    Before I watched the violent films of Takeshi Kitano, I watched "Kijiro" and this film first, Takeshi Kitano + Yohji Yamamoto + Hisaishi Yo, the visual beauty is not comparable to the tyranny of the story. The first story happened to be swiped by the couple of Peking University Baoli again today. I prefer to believe that Zuowako has always been sober, understands her too well, but is not as lucky as her. Would such "affectionate" Matsumoto really marry someone else? If she really does it, I'm afraid she won't go back and accompany her crazy. I don't know why, but in the end, the two of them were walking in the white snow wearing thick but gorgeous kimonos like quilts. They thought of my grandparents. Are they reunited? What will be the scene. Whether you are awake watching a movie or falling asleep, you will always wake up - there is no grandfather anymore. I don't even get used to watching a movie without him, I can't get used to it. on his first seven nights. Director Takeshi Kitano Retrospective with Meat Broadway Cinema Center MOMA Hall 1 This last week sold out the No. 8 ticket to Xiuxiu. Knowing that he would like it, he bought another ticket for the second ticket issue.

    This kind of love is too tragic and too tangled. Look at the face of Uncle Takeshi Kitano and score one more point! The first story: Since the love is so deep, why doesn't Mao refuse the temptation when he can? The second story: If the uncle didn't come to court with all his heart, wouldn't the person who loves him wait for a lifetime? The third story: Will idols become people around them disappointed? the scenery is amazing
