The film begins to express the image of the protagonist Xi Jiajing: his eyes blink from time to time, the right corner of his mouth rises from time to time, and he always wears small black sunglasses. At first, the two of them ate in his car, and they beat him up when they got there, and they honestly wiped the car clean for him. These gave me the first impression that he is a triad.
After the introduction, I realized that the protagonist turned out to be a policeman. His partner, Kuibu, was seriously injured in the course of the mission and paralyzed his lower limbs. He could only use a wheelchair for the rest of his life, which made him lose confidence in life. Once he wanted to take sleeping pills to commit suicide. The chance that he saw those plants in the flower shop sparked the idea of painting. (These plots also reflect Kitano's unique style)
Later, Xi Jiajing took the blame and resigned, and made a police car to rob a bank. Traveling with my sick wife after paying off the loan.
During the trip, the underworld gang kept looking for him to repay the interest, and finally killed the three of them. After being discovered by his former police colleagues, he committed suicide with his wife along with two gunshots at the end.
After watching this film, I have to admire Takeshi Kitano's ideas and creativity and his skills as a director. The whole film plus Hisaishi's soundtrack makes the film more colorful like the finishing touch. In general, it is a unique and refreshing crime literary romance.
