We are all puppets of fate

Takeshi Kitano said,

All the gangster movies I've ever made

Not as violent as The Doll

Life doesn't give you any illusions

Life plays with us and will never show mercy

Very conceptual theme, needs bone and blood to support

A main story of missed and waiting, waiting and lost

You get married and I die; you take me back to where we started, wait for me to wake up along the way, and then we actually stay there together

Form is not the goal, but the form makes the film beyond reality

There are two more stories of waiting and losing

One is that you choose to leave, I choose to wait in place;

One is that I've been there, you just don't know...

You think the ending will be a fairy tale, but the ultimatum is helpless

There is no gang boss who is merciful, and the last mercy leaves a loophole for the enemy to come to the door;

You don't have to die when you are most beautiful, because I choose to see when you are not beautiful,

But, your not beautiful, I can't see, I can't see the danger

Is it right that we can't escape the control of fate after all

The genius of Takeshi Kitano lies in the main story, which is not noisy, suicide, dementia... handled with restraint

It seems dull, but it is a golden thread of sublimation theme;

The interspersed side stories make the film not monotonous and full of rhythmic beauty

It seems like some idle pen, but it is not extra,

Between stories, through the use of common scenes,

It produces the effect of witnessing the truth of the story to each other, and the viewer can form an infinite imagination space due to spontaneous brain supplementation

The whole film reflects the real, but also surpasses the real, it is really wonderful

    I still like the story of the black boss and the waiting woman the most~

    It feels like a movie show of Uncle's painting talent, an extension of imagination? But these love stories did not bring moving, instead they looked contrived, plain and simple, more moving, uncle
