Technically speaking, many Japanese movies in recent years are very similar to TV dramas in terms of their shots and lighting methods. I have never liked movies with TV drama shots, because the two are actually different in nature. . However, the art of this film can still feel a serious attitude, because the art is powerful, and the pictures of many perverted ideologies are impressive. Of course, this art supervisor is actually one of the best supervisors in Japan, which adds a lot to the film. .
In terms of expression techniques, it is too outdated. Many of the film's expression techniques are very similar to the patchwork of various films. There is always a feeling of deja vu, and the Greek mythology quoted is far-fetched. This is a bit difficult to understand is the Japanese worship of Western mythology. Many movies and TV series add elements such as angels, demons, gods of war, etc. into the story, as if it would be cooler or more awesome. I wonder if Japan clearly has its own Myths and stories, etc., these should exist in the bones of the Japanese, and only when they are shown are convincing. You say that an oriental person under the banner of "evil" is the god of war and death in Greek mythology, and many violent methods are used in After studying abroad, I always feel that there is an inexplicable sense of disobedience that "has nothing to do with Japan". Although the use of songs with weird lyrics to create atmosphere is still very effective, it is not new, and most movies have used this method, so it can't be added.
From a storyline standpoint, it was a horrific failure. When the movie was promoted, it was under the banner of "what is evil". After watching it, I realized that this is not to say that this film can cause people to think deeply about "evil", but that the director himself really does not know "what is evil".
The "evil" that the director wants to express may be the painless feeling of "killing" itself. A lot of propaganda says that Hasumi-sensei kills to "do evil with evil", which is not true, because he only kills people who make him feel troublesome, and the only way for him to solve the trouble is to kill them. So if no one makes trouble for him, he might live a perfect life under that perfect mantle.
Of course, if it is set like this, this movie can have a higher score, but it puts a lot of irrelevant things and contradictions in expressing this theme, as well as murder methods and cover-up methods , including the final blunder, are too unskilled. Why didn't the families of the two students who died in the first place look for it? Why did they keep the cell phone of the student they killed and were deliberately discovered by another girl? And what exactly is the Japanese police doing? The biggest loophole is the last teacher. It was possible to kill more than 40 students. I believe that the school cannot be like a bunker. Obviously, one student escaped. Could it be that no one else can escape? There can't be just one staircase...) There are many places where it just doesn't make sense. In fact, if it is straightforward, it may be much better than pretending to be mysterious, but unfortunately it is not. There is also a slight problem with the actor's acting skills. Of course, this is related to the film director, because he actually behaves more naturally or normalized when killing people or other times. In playing the two self, the mentally abnormal part will not be added, but will be subtracted.
Compared with "Confession", this film is far worse, let alone PK with classic movies like "Battle Royale".
Last but not least, Yamada Takayuki's cameo is just for fun. At first, I was in the gym with a female student, and then I played the drums during the preparation for the school festival (I know that is your hobby), and bought the students pocket money for drinks. When I found out that the male protagonist was murdering people, he took a fork. Went out, sniffed the girls' panties in front of the murderer with the gun, and was killed. Classmate... This is not the key to the hero Yoshihiko and the devil, did we accidentally go to the wrong set? (sweat)
