Complete redemption in exchange for complete failure

The last time Miku entered the visiting room, he seemed to have a holy light.

No matter how chaotic the world is, full of lies and sins, Sanyu has completed the reversal of the meaning of his existence. The redemption at this moment is not only for the girl or his daughter, but also for his own redemption. "I once wished that I hadn't come to this world." When the murderer Misumi said this, he was relieved and satisfied. In the next shot, the lawyer and Sanyu are gradually superimposed and superimposed, then approached, and then slowly separated. . .

There are many conversation scenes in the visiting room in the film, and there are two that impressed me the most.

One was the part where Sanyu felt the temperature of lawyer Shigesheng's hands through the glass. I personally understand that this passage is somewhat similar to the feeling of "The Green Miracle". Misumi has a perception ability beyond ordinary people or it can be said that empathy is particularly strong, so he can feel the daughter of lawyer Shigesheng who is also the father. And "daughter" is precisely the biggest connection point between the two people in this film. This is also corroborated in two other montage scenes, one is playing in the snow and the other is the memory of Killing Eve. There seems to be some kind of invisible bond between 2 men and a girl.

The other is the night when he decided to deny the murder. This scene should be the climax of the film. Unfortunately, most of the audience were a little confused when they saw it, because the director hid key information here, so it may be common. I don't think Chongsheng's reaction here is too great. It's nice to look back on that scene, one showing determination to give himself, and the other, after a strong shock, decides to help him.

In the memories of the murder night, we can no longer tell who is wiping the blood on his face and who is the real murderer. And I prefer to take it as a metaphor, whether it is "sanction" or "salvation", you can think about it, but the most important thing is self-salvation. A man who has spent most of his life in prison consciously owes his family, especially He had too many daughters, he used to live rather than die, and saving the girl who was similar to his own daughter became his last wish, and he was proud of it.

Finally, let's briefly analyze the plot:

I personally think the whole plot is pretty clear. Sanyu used the food fraud problem as an excuse to trick the boss into killing him by the river. He just wanted to protect the boss's daughter, because he felt that she was very similar to his own daughter, and everything he did after that was just to protect her reputation.

The boss's daughter's leg should have jumped off when she was a child and broke it. Come to think of it, she is really an honest child. And why did she jump down? My personal guess is that the boss, in order to deceive social security, deliberately made her jump or even pushed her down. Thinking of this, I also hope to shout like lawyer Chongsheng: "Such a scum father should be killed."

    A terrible movie-watching experience, no matter how concealed the logical meticulousness and atmosphere creation, can't make up for the suppressed thirst for truth at the last second. The director dabbled in the suspense of reasoning, which is a required course for Japanese directors, as the direction of transformation. The setting of suspense and the rhythm control barely pass. Many lengthy and aimless shots are difficult to distinguish whether they are deliberately mixed with the viewer or unintentional. How the acting skills are based on a reasonable plot. Give a ticket to the director you like, and that's it.

    What makes people uncomfortable is that Hirokazu Kee is here. Without Yakusho Hiroshi’s perfect acting skills, this drama is simply a catastrophe of procrastination. As for the most important rationality of the suspense reasoning film, the director simply handles it through obfuscation. Avoid it and make it fake and advanced like everything is left to the audience to read and understand.
