Synopsis:
Yuko Moriguchi teaches at a junior high school when one day her only daughter is killed. In the process of her pursuit of the murderer, although the incident was concluded to be an accidental death, Morigi found that she had a lot to do with the two students, and in order to punish the two people, she added AIDS blood to the milk they drank.....
"Confession" grossed more than 4 billion yen in Japan, and in addition to entering the preliminary selection of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, it also won the Best Film award of the Japan Academy Award, the Best Asian Film of the Hong Kong Scholarship, the second best annual top ten of "Film Shunbao", and the Douban score was also as high as 8.7 points (selected as the top 250).
When I first watched the title "Confession", many people may think that this is a small fresh love film, but it is actually a suspenseful thriller story with a cold tone, but there is no need to worry about it will be scary, it is not a horror film.
The "confession" in the title means confession in Japanese, that is, the film is revealed through the self-hearts of several main characters, stringing together the plot of the entire movie.
The social realities involved in the film, such as school bullying, juvenile delinquency, and lack of family education, are not only the grim realities facing Japan, but also problems that cannot be avoided in other countries today.
In China, there have also been many discussions in recent years about whether juvenile delinquency should be severely punished.
In the film, Sensei Moriguchi seems to be the most calm and calm, speaking unhurriedly and slowly, without hysterical anger at her daughter's killer, but she has carefully designed the overall situation of revenge.
In last year's popular Japanese drama "Year 3 Class A", although the teacher also made a careful design to find the murderer, he kidnapped the whole class, but in fact, he was just giving lessons to the students.
At that time, after watching "Confessions", Buya Jun was completely shocked by the finale.
Sensei Moriguchi declared to Juvenile A and Juvenile B, who are protected by the Juvenile Law, "This matter will not end like this, and I will punish you in a way beyond imagination." ”
At the critical moment, the plot did not fall into the perspective of whether the murderer or the child or the student forgave them, but really went black to the end, and tortured the two teenagers to the point of survival and death, letting the Virgin roll aside, making people look particularly happy!
The whole movie is narrated through the perspective of the above main characters, around the same event from different angles, disrupting the order of the event itself, so that the truth of the entire event is gradually revealed, and a looping layer structure is constructed, which greatly enhances the suspense of the film.
In addition to the narrative method, there is also the lens language of director Tetsuya Nakajima that must be blown.
Tetsuya Nakajima, a director of advertising films, is a god with a "The Life of the Abandoned Matsuko", he has a very extreme pursuit of picture beauty, MV and advertising-style flash flash shots, which break up and reorganize those fragmented and fragmented feelings, and reconcile a more contrasting and interesting emotional flavor.
The aesthetics of violence that bring visual impact to the audience have a new interpretation in "Confessions".
Tetsuya Nakajima uses some unique techniques, such as slow motion, detailed picture details, overwhelming picture presentation, and the slowdown or pause of the violent process, etc., so that the audience can visually feel the strong shock and spiritual touch brought about by the death of the characters.
In the film, director Tetsuya Nakajima uses a series of revenge actions by Sensei Moriguchi to reflect the psychological problems caused by the lack of love in the process of minors growing up, as well as social problems such as sanctions for juveniles after committing crimes, in order to call for the return of human kindness.
