As the original party, I was still a little surprised to learn that "When the Prayer Ends" was going to be made. After all, in my opinion, this novel is really not outstanding. This is the tenth in The Kaga Kyoichiro series, and it is also said to be the finale – and if you have only read the first two works of "When the Prayer Ends", "New Counselor" and "Wings of the Kirin", I am afraid you will immediately understand why this is the final work. Keigo Higashino's fame in recent years can not be said to be unpopular, "Relief Grocery Store" was very popular after the Chinese version, not to mention, even the theater version was filmed one by one in China and Japan. But in the Kaga Kyoichiro series, he really doesn't seem to have any ideas. At the heart of "When the Prayer Ends" is family affection, or in Japanese parlance, it's called "kissing the heart," but looking back at the previous game, "New Contestant" and "Wings of the Kirin" are the same, even "Red Finger." In addition, the general direction of the plot can not make people feel bright, and those who have read "White Night" probably know what I am talking about.
Hiromi Asakai (Noriko Matsushima), the stage director of a stage drama who has been broken up since childhood, finally meets the man she has been looking forward to seeing, the son of her father's extramarital affair, Kyoichiro Kaga (Hiroshi Abe), a film police officer at the Nihonbashi Police Station.
It is this aspect that leads to this story that spans from 1983 to 2017 - "When the Prayer Ends".
The original author of this film is the godfather of speculative fiction, Keigo Higashino. The protagonist, Kyoichiro Kaga, is a detective with the same name as Yukawa Gaku (Higashino's brother). Baidu's book, after publication, sold well and won awards, winning praise from readers: "Regaining the soul of Keigo Higashino". Knock on the sack... Are you sure this sentence is exaggerating?
The director of this film, Katsuo Fukuzawa. He has directed high-scoring Japanese dramas such as "The Instrument of Sand" and "Naoki Hanzawa". So you're not mistaken, Director Owada made a friendly cameo! It seems that it is not good for bank executives to be laid off and then employed, and I feel that it is very hard to be a salesman.
Although she would love to say to him in person, thank you very much for your mother and my father's extramarital affair. But she could only hide these words deep in her heart.
Uncle Kuan, who was in the dark, what was his mental activity at that time?
Hiromi Asami is a famous theater director and actress, and is a beautiful woman who is 40 years old. When she was a child, her mother took money to raise a small white face outside, and stole her husband Tadao Asakai's seal and borrowed a large amount of money before running away from home, causing her husband and daughter to be forced by creditors to wander around. When wandering, he met Yokoyama Kazutoshi, his daughter killed Ichijun because he was tricked into killing him, and his father created the illusion that he hid from debt and committed suicide, so that his daughter grew up in the welfare dean and survived as a substitute for Ichijun. Dad's greatest wish is that Hiromi can be happy. Dad often went to the bar to drink, and met the bar girl Yuriko, who called herself Shunichi Mibu. Yuriko used to be a bartender and was bullied by her husband's family, and her husband was too busy to work at home, so she suffered from depression, Yuriko was afraid that she would hurt her son Kaga, ran away from home when her son was ten years old, and returned to her old business when the bartender met Shunichi. Hiromi became an actress, and at the age of 20, she fell in love with her junior high school teacher Naemura and became pregnant, so in order not to affect the actor's career, Hiromi beat up the child. Naemura discovers that Shunichi is still alive, and Shunichi kills Naemura, who knows the truth, for the sake of Hiromi's future. Hiromi later became a director, and Shunichi would go to various Nihonbashi bridges every month to protect her daughter from being discovered. 10 years later Yuriko died, Shunichito's daughter Hiromi found the address of Kyoichiro Kaga, who was already a kendo champion, and gave Yuriko's relics to her son, Kaga began to look for the truth of the matter, and has been insisting, Hiromi began to take the initiative to contact Kaga 5 years ago, subconsciously hoping that he can find the truth to alleviate his guilt. Hiromi's junior high school classmate Michiko Oshiya went to Meijiza in Tokyo to watch Hiromi's drama, and was discovered by Shunichi, in order not to reveal Shunichi's own identity, Shunichi killed Michiko Oshiya, and after saying goodbye to his daughter, he prepared to set himself on fire in the name of mutsuo Kojikawa, a stray dog, and disappear completely, in order to hide what had happened before. In order to alleviate his father's suffering, Hiromi helped strangle his father and set him on fire.
Parents sometimes leave to better protect their children, such as Yuriko and Tadao, and they can also do a lot of things, such as killing people who know the truth, as long as it is for the sake of their children. Parents are willing to disappear from this world for the sake of their children, such as Shunichi Mibu.
The imprint of family and parents may be the deepest driving force in a child's life, such as Kaga's Oedipus complex and 16 years of persistence, just to know if the mother remembers herself when she leaves. Hiromi strives for Meijiza success for the sake of her father's expectations, and Hiromi's lifelong hatred for her mother, and blames her mother for beating up her child.
Keigo Higashino is like Jin Yong Qiongyao when we were young, an idol of a generation and a generation, sought after by children now. Indeed a good writer.
The shadow living in the shadows will cherish the future of his daughter living in the sun even more, even more than the daughter herself, so he will kill people again and again to keep the secret.
The film uses suspense and flashbacks, and the film has many elements and content, so the pace is fast.
Finally, it ends with the classic line of the movie:
People lie, either to protect themselves, or to protect someone, lies are shadows of the truth, everyone lives with a wound in their hearts, and in order to protect this wound, people close the door of their hearts.
Lies are the shadows of the truth, and what can be seen in this dark shadow will certainly not be only tragedies, because what lies reflect is the human heart itself.
