A woman named Hayashi Kadai, apply lipstick carefully. The priest came to make her final confession, and she raised her beautiful head, with the usual soft smile, and whispered, "Am I beautiful?" ”
These were The last words of Lin Yegadai before he walked to the gallows. After that, she walked up the steps gracefully and slowly, with a quiet expression of relief and yearning, as if she were walking to heaven.
"Tenkoku Station" is a film based on the "Japanese Cabinet Murder Incident" that caused a sensation in Japan in the 1960s. It tells the story of a woman named Hayajadai who killed two of her husbands. Hayashi Kayo also became the first female murderer to be executed in Japan after World War II.
In the film, Yoshinaga Sayuri vividly interprets the gorgeous and fragile beauty of a Japanese woman like cherry blossoms. If you have seen this film, it is probably difficult not to be attracted by her beauty, and what is even more shocking is the destruction of this beauty. Along with lust and sin, step by step slides into the abyss of irredeemability.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > anxious asexual marriage, jealousy and possessiveness inevitably lead to madness</h1>
Hayashi Kadai was a gentle and beautiful woman who, like most Japanese women at the time, was industrious, patient, humble and humble. Gadai's husband had just finished getting married and went to the front, and by the time he returned from the battlefield, he had become disabled in the lower part of his body.
Kadai's youth and beauty made her husband deeply uneasy. Although she keeps the washing and weaving at home every day, the jealousy in her husband's heart is still burning.
On the one hand, the traditional male superiority and female inferiority of the big man consciousness, on the other hand, the inferiority of the wife who cannot possess the wife, the Kadai husband began to torture and beat the wife pervertedly. He used rough force to vent his inner trepidation and uneasiness, he did not even need any evidence, as long as he saw a man near his house, Gadai would incur an involuntary beating and humiliation.
In Gadai's marriage, there is no love and respect, only possession and possession. In a sexless marriage, the husband cannot possess the wife's body like other husbands, so he uses violence to achieve another kind of occupation, and he can destroy as much as he wants.
In Linyegadai's time, women could not follow their free will to decide their marriage, and she had no choice but to endure her husband's domestic violence. In addition, she had to endure the instinctive desires of a young healthy woman.
"Men and women who eat and drink, the great desire of man." The power of primitive desire in human nature exposes Kayo to the eyes of the young and handsome policeman Hashimoto. He had witnessed her suffering, and he coveted her beauty and tenderness even more. He swore to conquer Her heart with Kadai's desperately scarce love and affection.
Gadai's husband witnesses the happiness of the two, anger and humiliation destroy his sanity, and he madly abuses Gadai to vent his anger. At this time, Hashimoto quietly handed over a small medicine bag, and in Kayo's terrified eyes, he promised her a dizzying future: let him disappear and we could be together.
In a panic, Kadai sprinkled the medicine into the wine pot, and her husband drank it while crying and cursing, and soon spat out white foam and whimpered.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > trapped in unbridled greed, breaking free of the bondage and entering one shackle after another</h1>
In Hashimoto's eyes, Kashiro is not only a gentle township, but also a cash cow. Kayo is a skilled craftsman, weaves good brocade, relies on daily non-stop labor, and relies on daily non-stop labor to quit his police job and live in Her House to eat soft food.
Hashimoto offered to go to Tokyo to study, and Kayo took out his savings to support him, but a year later, during the summer vacation, He happily greeted Hashimoto's Kayo at the station, and so on, Hashimoto's young and beautiful lover Sachiko.
Hashimoto made it clear that he would not marry Kayo, but hoped to live with the three of them, and he would continue to exercise control over Kayo's body and money, and he threatened Kayo to stab her out of her murder of her husband if he did not agree.
When Sachiko learns the truth, she is disappointed in Hashimoto. Kayo sold his property and gave Hashimoto a large sum of money, and then went away with Sachiko. Two "love enemies" who are deceived by love have become good sisters who feel sorry for each other.
In onsen Township, Kayo earns a living on textile craftsmanship, and along with her, there is a man Ichio who no one looks down on. Ichijo is stout and ugly, with a chaotic mouth, and only Gadai looks at him as a person, and kindly knits a pair of gloves to send him. In Ichigo's heart, Gadai is a holy goddess who follows her, not to possess her like any other man, but to protect her.
There is a Yamato-kaku bath in onsen township, and the owner is called Fukumi, who is a decent and successful businessman. He fell in love with the beautiful Kadai at first sight and went to ask Kadai to open the textile shop in his bathhouse.
Fukumi is considerate of Kayo, awakening the desire to be loved buried in Kayo's heart. However, Fukumi's wife becomes an obstacle, and Mrs. Fukumi, who is suspicious of her husband's empathy, fights Kadai, but fortunately Kazuo saves her in time.
Fukumi pours out his grievances to Kadai, and in the face of Kadai's refusal, he murmurs that his wife will not interfere again. Mrs. Fukumi then falls to her death, and Kashiro suspects that Fukumi instructed Ichio to do it. Kazuo strenuously denies it, and Kadai puts Shinji in a snow-like wedding dress.
Kayo's fate seems to be finally about to usher in a new turnaround, but the ghostly Hashimoto has reappeared.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > when all desires tear each other apart by evil means, where there is untainted sin</h1>
Hashimoto blackmailed several times, causing Sachiko, who was bent on maintaining Kashiro's happiness, to take a risk, but unfortunately was thrown off a cliff by Hashimoto during a fight.
Saddened by the loss of Sachiko, Kayo intuitively felt that this must have been Hashimoto's doing, and she wanted to seek revenge on Hashimoto, but it had become a blessing for her second husband, and she was ruthlessly stopped.
Gadai had previously thought that her husband's failure to pursue his past was because of love, but now she looked at him in amazement and finally understood her situation. Like her first husband, Fukumi wanted complete possession of the beautiful woman, as if possessing and controlling a doll.
Fukumi tore off the veil of warmth and showed the same cold face as when he killed his wife. What does Gadai's love-hate relationship have to do with him? He didn't even allow her to have them, she just had to be the beauty who could give at any time, and that beauty belonged only to him.
Kadai was desperate, but Fukumi didn't give up. He has a poisonous plan and wants to kill Ichigo. Fukumi takes advantage of Kazuo's love for Katsuo and wants to put him to death. When Kayo was in danger, Kayo drew the knife from the rack... This weak woman once again pounced on the fate she could not break free.
Kazuo carried Kayo on his back and fled in the snow. Katsuyuki, who is beautiful and filthy, feels filthy, but Kazuo thinks she is the kindest woman, whiter than the cleanest snow.
For the first time in his life, He truly felt the love from a man in his life, in this ugly miscellaneous servant who had guarded him for many years. They were in the snow, pure embraces, happy chases and fights, they saw a rainbow on the snow, and everything was as beautiful as the end of the world.
The two finally arrive at the silent station, and Kadai buys two train tickets. The policemen who had already been ambushed poured out, and Kazuo fought with the police, telling Kadai to run, and Kadai was worried that Kazuo would be injured, causing him to give up resistance. Both of them desperately admitted that Fukumi had done it himself. The two were handcuffed to cold handcuffs, ending their escape, and shortly after, both were sentenced to death by hanging.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > tragic fate behind it is the abyss of desire and the lily of sin</h1>
"Heavenly Station" has a strong and oppressive tragic atmosphere, conveying a deep sense of Japanese fatalism. Throughout Lin Ye Gadai's life, she was originally just an ordinary woman who longed for love and had instinctive desires, but fate and her own choices pushed her into the abyss of eternal doom again and again.
Kadai, who is soft and delicate in appearance, is not a woman who succumbs to fate in her heart, she has fought and struggled, but in the end she is unable to break free from the tragedy of the heavenly net. Her beauty, far from bringing her happiness, became a sin.
For her first husband, her beauty was the inability to possess the property she feared losing; for Hashimoto, her beauty was a cathartic desire and a wealth that could be realized; and for her second husband, her beauty was nothing more than a jewel he used to embellish his life.
What Can Gadai strives for is love. Between her and the men she met, it was like two misalignment railways, although they crossed, but they were different. Her dream, from the very beginning, was doomed to fail, and this originally innocent woman, in her lust for vain love, broke herself again and again.
Kayo, played by Yoshinaga Sayuri, is shockingly beautiful and tragic. How could this woman, who was as pure as a lily, clean herself in the great dyeing vat of desire?
Gadai's side is full of sin. In order to fulfill their respective desires, each of them, whether right or wrong, without exception, uses evil means.
The first disabled husband, for the sake of possessiveness and jealousy, used violence; the lover Hashimoto, for the sake of his own selfish desires, extorted and instigated no evil; the second husband, in order to possess and control, did not hesitate to kill.
Even if Sachiko is as pure as Sachiko, in order to protect Kayo, the first plan that comes to mind is to push Hashimoto off a cliff; even if He is as thick as Kazuo, for the sake of Kayo's happiness, he will let another innocent woman die.
As for Kadai himself, why not? She is like a lily soaked in the juices of evil, and will eventually fall into darkness. When Kadai's environment is full of black haze, how can she push away the tragic fate as heavy as a manhole cover with her own strength?
When the policeman inexplicably asked Kadai why he killed his two husbands, Kadai said, "Because of love..."
Writing here, the song "Ruan Lingyu" sounded in my mind: it is just greedy to rely on, greedy to love. The old fate should be difficult,
Change your heart full of sorrow.
When the free will of love is unable to walk through the proper channels, the result is either self-destruction or jade burning. This is the tragedy of a woman belonging to the Japanese era, a sense of fatalism like the fleeting cherry blossoms.
After watching the movie for a long time, I can never forget the strange beauty of Lin Ye Kadai when he was married again, when he wore a white wedding dress, so beautiful that it made people's backs and gave birth to the chill of Sensen.
