I also want to be sanctified

I watched this movie several times

one,

All hypnotized people are vague about "self". They need to use the rational concept of society to define themselves, are doctors, elementary school teachers, police... And when asked repeatedly who are you? When these answers are invalid, no one can answer them. In this vague, indeterminate gap, the utility of hypnosis is easy to use.

People who are hypnotized can easily release their subconscious personality. These derailed subconscious minds may have been around for a long time, but even they themselves cannot detect it in daily life, but act like a zombie every day. Social identity, things that meet the expectations of others.

But subconscious dissatisfaction is what the underlying self really perceives. Because of their vague self-identification, these people are easily hypnotized and release their subconscious. And these unpleasant subconscious minds, which have been suppressed in daily life, are finally released by derailed and disordered crimes.

The above is the first of the holy rule: although derailed and out of order, you are free.

Societally, this sanctification is dangerous, but personally, in this age of repression, the inspiration of this sanctification is important.

two,

About the male lead.

He is the only person in the entire film who is mentioned in multiple roles. Police + husband who takes care of his wife who is physically and mentally exhausted. He wandered between multiple identities, each of which made him a little unhappy, and because of this, he was confused about himself and at a loss about life. But it is this confusion that makes him completely different from other characters. The other characters accepted it easily, without any doubt, but did not notice it when they suppressed their own hearts.

But Takabe was not, he felt uncomfortable and wrong. So Mamiya said that he was different, and even said that he was the same as him. At the end of the film, Gaobu eats in a restaurant and eats the food cleanly, which is in contrast to his inability to swallow at the beginning of the film. After the whole film, which was a painful experience for him, and the experience of confusing himself due to the interweaving of identities, he found peace of mind. He can no longer rely on these so-called "roles" to be played, the rational concept of society to define himself.

He found his place. So the mind is at peace.

    8.5/10 Quietly restrained and calm, suppressed from the beginning to the end, although it is only in a small dilapidated warehouse, it can also make people feel that the whole world is doomsday. The most terrifying thing is that you, the audience, know very well that you are the same as those who are nothing. Like them, they may all draw those bloody crosses under the necks of others.

    Use the distorted noise of sound and the dark and alienation of space to show the suppressed hideous side of human nature. The pictures are exquisite to the extreme, and Kurosawa does not tell the story of a serial killer, but seeks the most terrifying origin in the depths of the spirit during the layers of hypnotism. The last scene in the restaurant is calm and restrained. Yakusho Koji has eaten all the food and paid to leave. Everything seems normal, but it makes people shudder.
