Justice and incompetence, evil in power-"Sweet Dreams of the Bad Guy"

Today is the happy day of the Iwabuchi family. The only daughter Yoshiko Iwabuchi married his father's right-hand assistant secretary Nishiyuki. The wedding was held in the banquet hall. A pair of newlyweds came in with the marriage march and received congratulations from the guests; the traditional Japanese wooden clogs with high heels made the original action The inconvenient bride was struggling to walk. She turned pale and went to the newlyweds' seat. Even with her husband's support, the intimate physical contact between the husband and wife was turned into nothingness because of the man's ulterior motives.

Nishiyuki looks solemn and lacks the joy of a bridegroom's wedding; Kako's elder brother Tatsuo drank dull wine, seemingly not optimistic about the couple; The wedding cake comes in, it is not separated by layers, it is taller than the person, engraved with congratulatory statements, and accompanied by fresh fruit , Cream, plus a pair of chocolate statues wearing western wedding dresses, but a white building, the most weird thing is that a bright rose is inserted on the 7th floor. The case of complaints seven years ago is like In front of my eyes; the undead seemed to use blood to flow down and spread down the wall, crying out to the enemy's unrequited grievance.

The host and the guests looked at each other because of the uninvited guests; the reporters at the scene whispered that Dashu Iwabuchi is not, and it is extremely cynic and sarcasm.

The white building wedding cake is the best evidence to accuse the murder. It destroys the originally sacred and holy wedding; Kako's poor behavior is not only a physical defect, but also destined to be the birth and continuation of an unfortunate marriage.

The revenge plan of the descendants of the deceased was carried out as scheduled. Some of the enemies' cronies were driven mad, some were imprisoned, and some concealed their identities in a "fake death" state, unwilling to assist the avengers.

The Avengers took Hetian and sat in the carriage, and the tape played a short section of the corrupt conversations of administrative staff. Hetian witnessed the funeral hanging up his own mourning hall photos and crying after sitting next to relatives. The absurdity of the world, the corruption of bureaucracy, and the most primitive Exposure of human nature also stifles people's loyalty to the conscience of the world and the people.

"Sweet Dreams of the Bad Guy" adopts the method of shooting a thriller film to create a ghostly atmosphere of ghosts: night car lights shine on the face of crooked crooks, flashlights are like a tool for soul chasers to claim the lives of accomplices and clear the streets. The night walk of the death spirit, as well as the ruined avengers and their friends are separated and guarded by the class door. The nervousness of not knowing whether the comer is good or evil is nervous and the camera placement is accurate and the director's calculation is a good framework.

A deliberately created traffic accident, the collision turned into a pile of scrap metal, and the fresh blood spilt in the front seat of the car lying quietly in the countryside is an ironclad proof of the death of justice and it is difficult to prove.

The daughter mistakenly trusted her father's tricks, turning the paper marriage into a real couple's passionate torrent of love into a means to eliminate the father's criminal evidence; the father's obsession, a high-level inquiries on the phone, the father must be respectful, bow down and confess the answer. He is also unwilling to recover his beloved son and mentally broken daughter.

    # ArchivesPhotos of Kurosawa Akira Retrospective# "The Godfather" is undoubtedly the true biography of this film, especially the wedding scene at the beginning, and there are no black and white characters in Ze Huang's films, and the focus of the lens is always reality and human nature. This film is an example. The story of "Hamlet" is already desperate, but in the social context of collusion between Japanese officials and businessmen, new sparks have collided. It is also reminiscent of the setting of Chinatown. And the ending of this movie is too dark! Possibly the darkest of Zehuang's films, those who seek justice are frustrated and killed, justice is distorted by evil, "You deceived Kako!" "The whole of Japan has been deceived!" More shocking than personal or family tragedies, then is a social tragedy. PS Toshiro Mifune played such an upright revenge role, he almost didn't recognize him when he wore glasses.
