Finally, I watched Kitano Takeshi’s "Fireworks" that Su had been looking for a long time ago. Unfortunately, I don’t know why there are no subtitles, so I found a script of Fireworks on the Internet. After watching carefully, I then looked at the story to be told in the film, imagining which sentence in a certain scene and a certain plot in the film should correspond to, and what is being said now, I tried this peculiar way for the first time. Go to see this long-awaited film that won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival in 1997.

The story that happened between Saijia Kei, Digjing, and the three police officers of Nakamura, the story between Saijia Kei and the gangster, the story between Saijia Kei and his wife, Kitano used his soothing camera to unfold for us .

The protagonist Constable Nishino, played by Kitano Takeshi, was always filled with determination, which was always filled with determination, which was in stark contrast with the other two police officers who were always incapable of talking with him. Through other people’s words, we know that Xi just lost his child, and his beloved wife is also suffering from leukemia in the advanced stage. His colleague was killed by criminals in an operation. All these unfair treatment made him immersed in deep self-blame. It seems that the film has been given a black tone, which makes people feel the slightest chill. The slowly changing scenes, the slowly evolving storyline, and the violence that suddenly appeared in front of the eyes made every audience tremble slightly.

I can appreciate the black and incomplete story that Takeshi Kitano is about to tell and the power emanating from the protagonist who is full of sad love and affection, who is constantly fighting. When seeing his colleague being killed by the gangster, Xi rushed up to blow the other's head and vented a shuttle bullet on the gangster's body. He raised his hand to blind the gangster and killed one person in the snow. With a car of debt-collecting gangsters, Kitano military commander violently threw it to the audience, but after thinking about it, he will find that the violence seems to be not unreasonable.

The protagonist Xi bears endless love. In order to treat his wife to a doctor, he can borrow usury from the gang. When he learns that his beloved wife is running out of time, he can even rob the bank in order to take his wife on a trip. The debt-collecting gang destroys the joy he brought to his wife in the last period of his life, and he can resolutely single out the gang. When Xi threw the pistol bullets snatched from the gang into the bonfire one by one and made a sound of explosion, the wife in the distance thought it was her husband who was setting fireworks for her, and she looked towards the sky, enjoying her husband doing it for her. The warmth it brings. To provide funding for the widow of a colleague who died on the job, and to buy painting tools for the digging well who was disabled in the hunt. There is not much language in the West but to guard it silently.

In the story, when the happy wife and his wife, with their faces full of joy and happiness, adjusted the camera's automatic shooting and prepared to take a photo, the moment the camera lens flashed, a car passed between them and the lens. Some details that are easy to make people laugh are only wry smiles for Xi. There is only sadness in my heart. Finally, when Xi's colleagues found Xi's whereabouts and found Xi, Xi was content and spent the last happy time with his wife, although it was so short.

By the sea, a little girl running back and forth holding a broken kite that couldn't fly, and a couple cuddling together...All that was left were two gunshots drifting in the sea breeze and the little girl's frightened face.

    Sure enough, it is the brother chapter of the sonata. This time, the protagonist is in the formal system, and the reason for his death is also easier for the world to understand. But in any case, Kitano Takeshi is not called to die resolutely, it is called the door of hope to the unknown. 【8】

    In a word: My wife has a terminal illness, so I can mess around. You must sympathize with me because of Hisaishi.
