Hell is empty, and the devil is on earth. Confession is a story of self-redemption and revenge. In the first half of the film, the slow-motion advancement of the soundtrack has a feeling of watching the MV, which makes people feel particularly heavy and heavy. Everyone's life is precious.
Suspenseful but with a strong uneasiness of the kind of physiological discomfort of the thriller, the whole film does not have the kind of traditional B-grade film of a large amount of blood plasma to impact people's picture, the color uses a lot of dead white pale shots, and the occasional red splash of blood shots, but can bring you a strong shock of the heart. Keep letting you inhale a cool breath.
Portray inner activity to the extreme, the motive for killing. Through stories, shots, and editing, innocent children create a demon that is more demonic than we traditionally recognize.
The essence of human nature is exposed, and it is precisely because of this story content that the whole film reveals that every minute and second of the mourning, world-weariness, repression, and discomfort tests the hearts of our audiences.
Human beings are a terrible species, and selfish genes are rooted in nature, and once they lose the most important factor of love, they are also lost. It is not a life born of love, but only a product of the social system, without correct teaching, even if no matter how many genius genes are inherited, it will only give birth to cold and cruel monsters, and cold and dark teenagers are terrible and pitiful.
The teacher uses the ultimate means of "taking the other way, returning the other body", so that the twisted teenagers in their hearts can endure the most cruel punishment, so as to comfort the innocent little lives that have passed away, and the film brings reflection and horror at the same time, it is a silent judgment of the changes in human nature in Japanese society.
The most brilliant place lies in the heroine's hidden revenge throughout the beginning and the end. She lurks until she snatches away their most important things by the hand of the murderer, thus pulling the murderer into the deep purgatory in which she has been a widow since the beginning, and completely destroying their lives. The heroine is not so much complaining about revenge, but closer to borrowing the evil of the other and curing the other.
The film also reflects on and warns about the juvenile offender protection system, the public's misconceptions and blind discrimination against AIDS patients, and school bullying. The main flaw is that the teenagers who spend a lot of time in this film to portray in depth are too extreme cases, and the extreme emotions of various genius criminal teenagers and teenagers are boring, which reduces the credibility of the characters and makes it difficult to arouse the resonance of the audience.
On the contrary, I think that in the portrayal of the class group portraits in the first and middle periods, the innocent disapproval of the children and the ridicule of the crowd, the irritation and anger and the blunt hatred after the small things are exposed, are the most creepy.
The shooting technique is very good, the photography, the montage, the narrative are all eye-catching. What is more impressive is that in the normal narrative, the static scenery picture is interspersed, which makes people have the feeling of jumping out and combining dynamic and static, which increases the sense of depth.
Most of the film's shots appear to be highly saturated, but in the few shots of Shuya and Mito "in love", a very rough large-grain photography is used, which is very nostalgic and youthful, and can also faintly emerge the evil sense of crime, which reminds me of Shunji Iwai's "Everything About Lily Week".
I think the story is decent, saying that it is "perverted", "sanctioned" and "revenge". This kind of ending, or "reversal", or "accident", can be said to be shocking for many people. The practical significance of the film is better than the plot and art of the film itself, focusing on the topics of school bullying, the protection of minors, and the fight against violence with violence.
I have not seen the original work, but from the perspective of this film, confession from the perspective of each party, the more the final plot can be fully rolled out and understood by the audience, so the first time you see the beginning is not friendly, the plot itself is not attractive enough, the end of the film returns to the core of suspense reasoning, although short-lived, enough to give people a shock.
Questions about students and teachers or the education system cannot be simply and crudely judged, but should be confronted with complex personal situations, and each person's life background and experience shape this person. The director uses some highly visual scenes to show the atmosphere of the campus itself, while others focus on the integrity of the plot.
Through oral description and visual presentation, everyone's perspective is interpreted, please pay attention to the psychological growth of minors. Some social problems, mother-killing cases, and high-IQ crimes, can find problems with the environment in which they grew up.
Juvenile delinquency has always been a major problem in society, and many juvenile delinquents have been driven by a lack of love from an early age and eager to get the attention of their parents, so they have embarked on the road of crime in a curious way. Is it their fault? Or is it the family's fault? No one's fault is.
In the distance between us and evil, Li Xiaoming's mother said: "There is no father and mother in the whole world, and it takes twenty years to raise a murderer child." Every parent is not easy, and every child and parent should understand each other more.
