Some people say that this is a work that exposes the wickedness of human nature, but in my opinion, even if the protagonist is angry and draws his sword from a submissive lamb to be slaughtered to become a murderer, he is still just a little man who longs for the warmth and harmony of his family. That's all, otherwise, why would the first thing that comes to mind is to bring his wife and children home for dinner? It's a pity that once the violence hidden in the blood of human nature is awakened, it will be overwhelmed, so he fights against his wife and children. In fact, the one who is curled up under the body of the roaring beast is still just the weak desire for a family in the planetarium. Little man looking at the stars. It's just that the blood on his hand has solidified, and the butcher's knife and his ten fingers are firmly bound together. He can't break free and can't change. Because of this, it leads to his despair, because no matter how strong he becomes , he is still unable to achieve his original ideal life. Even, it is difficult to cover the water, and even the superficial harmony created by the trembling in the title cannot continue - no matter how hideous his face is, his heart is still vulnerable to a single blow.
There is no bright future, and there is no way back, so I choose to commit suicide, choose to teach the last lesson to my beloved daughter in the most tragic way, and tell her my desperation and helplessness, and I only hope that my daughter can not be like me. cowardly. When he was dying, the beautiful planet still appeared in front of him, the happiness that was always elusive in his life.
This simple little man did not forget his original dream even when he died. How can such a work be called a great evil?
If the protagonist informs the police that he rushes to the wooden house to kill Aiko, and waits for the police to arrive, he appears as a panicked victim, sometimes mumbling in a delirious manner, sometimes exposing himself in anger, and deceiving the police. The eyes that deceived everyone could not help bursting into tears, deceived his wife and children to repent, hugged him and cried, and finally, with the mutual support of his wife and children, he slowly picked up the glasses on the ground, and there was an unnoticeable evil on the corner of his mouth. With a charming smile, he opened the car door and drove in the direction of his home, welcoming his hard-won happy life. Maybe this ending can really be called a big evil. It is precisely because the protagonist is still essentially a good citizen who is forced to go to Liangshan. He does not have such a strong psychological quality, does not know how to use the evil energy inspired to achieve his ideal, and has no ability to accept this powerful energy. Let it go, and finally fail to become a man, and only end up crying in despair that "life itself is painful". As everyone knows, he only resisted the violence of Murata, but failed to resist the violence of life, so this fight became a meaningless struggle, a powerless struggle.
So this film is not really about evil, but about good. Even if he was kidnapped by violent murder and evil, the pure and kindness still flows in his blood. And the real evil comes from life, still wearing the cloak of kindness and happiness, lurking around you and me.

    In fact, in Yuan Ziwen's works, there are some condensed fragments that will look a lot better.

    See also Icon, Pool of Blood, and Cutthroat. Now I hate routines that start with the Japanese "life is...", all the characters are crazy, and the male lead goes from weak to dick. Good start, heavy rain, tropical fish shop, time, cold and suspicious. And then no more. By the way, the heroine's shouting "don't" is too AV that is visual, so Yuan Ziwen must often play various plays at home.
