Zhong Jiang Film Review
Film introduction
Zero Kosaka is a cool and mournful teenager who likes to talk about "go and die", but he is very gentle in behavior.
The sin of Ozaka Zero, who had high expectations for entering high school, wasted his limited and precious time in inaction was even heavier than he had imagined.
"As a punishment for not being happy, not being moved, not being grateful, and being bored through each day, finally, I became less interested in anything." 」
In this state for a long time, he stumbled upon Nana Shikano, who was famous for self-harm many times and was ostracized.
Nana Shikano is a marginal girl who is ostracized by the class because of her too negative words and deeds. She loves to use "I want to die" as a mantra, and often cuts her wrists and harms herself, so she is famous throughout her grade.
When Kosaka first saw Nana Shikano, she was picking up the dead bees that had been thrown in the trash and preparing to bury them.
Zero Kosaka offered to talk to her, and she told her why Zero did this: "I hate bugs, but I hate people who treat bugs as garbage. Also, I hate you too."
However, Kosaka Zero began to be interested in her who obviously attached great importance to life but "wanted to die"...
"Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" is a youth romance film directed by Keiichi Kobayashi and starring Shotaro Mamiya / Hinata Sakurai / Yuri Hiramatsu / Mayuyuki Horida / Yumesana Kaneda / Kaneko Daichi / Akiki Nakao / Rei Sato / Ami Satogawa / Yasuko Moriguchi, released in Japan on November 15, 2019. Adapted from the four-panel manga of the same name created at the end of the century and released on Twitter, "Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" is a youth-themed work "dedicated to all sleepless nights", with the excellent performance of this film, director Keiichi Kobayashi and actor Mamiya Shotaro won the Best Newcomer Director and Best Actor Awards at the 29th Japan Film Critics Awards, respectively.
The title of "Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" sounds more like a wonderful suspense story, but this is a traditional healing Japanese film about youth and growth. Adapted from the four-panel comic, this work has a natural fast pace and subtle plot points, whether it is a small quarrel between lovers or a small spit from a girlfriend, which makes the whole film full of cute jumping feelings, but at the same time, the scattered characteristics also make it difficult for the film to form a strong and powerful emotional impact. Fortunately, director Keiichi Kobayashi found the most cruel and powerful thing in the youth story to make up for the lack of narrative form--- all youth is the same, all youth is against time, and every adolescent child, shouting "kill" and "die", can only accept the ruthless blow of life in the end... The biggest value of "Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" is to be able to gather the emotions in the original four-panel manga and give the audience a warm hug with positive hope in regret.
"He Who Can't Kill and Her Who Can't Die" tells the youthful hearts of three groups of young boys and girls through interspersed plots: Takashi Kosaka Zero, who says "Go to Die" every day, and Nana Shikino, who is always depressed and wants to commit suicide; Yachiyo, who always likes to confess and Yachiyo, who treats her with a cold face; and an ordinary-looking ordinary son and a beautiful seller who keeps falling in love and breaking up. In the moment when they passed by the crowd of the same high school, they were inadvertently changed and influenced by each other...
The plot is based on the funeral of Zero Kosaka, and the three sets of relationships intersect. The funeral took place a year ago, and the fact that Shikino Nana and Hiriko heard Nana Shikano's cries at the funeral site changed the behavior of Selling Moko a year later; Fumiko tried to cut her wrists and commit suicide in chagrin after the first confession of Yachiyo's failure, but met Nana Shiwano, who had accepted the fact of Kosaka's death and was reinvigorated. Under the enlightenment of Nana Shikino, she had the courage to say love again and again.
Fate is indeed like a butterfly, and the change brought about by a death can inadvertently incite the change of other people's world lines. What's even better is that the movie first tells you the result, and then lets you see the thrust behind it. "Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" is not only the love affair of two strange people, but also masters the spirit of the original life, balancing the various views and faces of love from different angles. The director connects the independent stories of three different time and space in the comics with a series of murders, so that the audience can first see how the characters find a way out of the predicament, and then understand what kind of people and events affect them.
The great thing about the movie "Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" is that it can divide the original into three chapters, each chapter is composed of dozens of incoherent four-panel short stories, through the director's clever story arrangement, each different character switching narrative way, so that the original adaptation into a movie must be quite broken Story has a seemingly innocent connection, and under the choreographer and the author's delicate observation of the hearts of young boys and girls, with many daily trivial and trivial descriptions to strike deep into our hearts, Arouse the audience's strong resonance and reflection on the connection with their own experience.
Youth is the purest and most complex, just out of the ignorance of children, stumbling into a larger social circle, while receiving book knowledge while feeling the world in a panic. The world has become so big and big, but I can't stop myself from my heart.
Domestic youth films always have endless homework, teachers who beat Mandarin ducks with hard hearts and girlfriends who tear resentment, and teenagers abroad can be as generous as adults in love, confession, and dating, but they can only see the sweetness of youth and the small fragments of sorrow in Japanese movies after being magnified to present such a colorful and wonderful world.
So "Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" allows us to follow Kosaka Zero to see that behind The Hidden Nana who cries and loves to hurt herself over and over again is cherishing life; following the cold and rational Yachiyo to see the shy and hesitant Fuko who says what she likes again and again; and also follows The Ordinary Son who sees the seller who is ignored by her mother and is afraid of being abandoned and takes the initiative to break up. It was the uneasiness of the youth of them, and they had to whisper again and again, using words to pin their loneliness on loneliness, and did not dare to expect a response.
Fortunately, time is the best key, so that Nana Shikano meets a different kind of Kosaka Zero, takes her through a warm time, heals her pain and gives her the ability to heal others.
Nana Shikano said to Kosaka Zero: If you ask if you like it or not, you are afraid to get an answer that you don't like; but asking is not annoying, getting it is not annoying, making it easier for people to accept it.
Zero Kosaka said to Nana Shikano: If you die, although the world may not change, it will change a little bit to me...
The unexpected cuteness of two people getting along gives each other the motivation to continue living... Finally, I can smile under the cherry blossom tree and think of the flowers of my youth and the expectations for the future.
Xiaobian is actually older than watching this kind of youth theme movie, and the impulse to see this movie by chance to let me watch and write this film review stems from the fact that I have a rebellious niece who has just entered the high school stage, thinking of the helplessness of the eldest brother and sister-in-law being "angry" by the niece, the only punishment is to confiscate the mobile phone, and want to send this film review to my niece. Of course, as an uncle, it is not to encourage her niece to talk about love, but to hope that she will not lock her heart in her heart, try to learn to talk, learn to accept, understand her parents, meet the right friends, and spend her precious youth happily and fulfillingly, which is also the best blessing for her three years of high school as an uncle.
For some people, movies are the gentle dreams of a tired life.
For some people, the dreams of a tired life are reading, music, photography, esports...
This list can be listed a lot, but the most unique of them is love, which is like a magical fruit that brings us an extraordinary experience...
Watching "Can't Kill Him and Can't Die Her" will be a very special experience, originally thought that the story will be locked in the title of the two world-weary men and women who are somewhat disconnected from society, because of their differences and meet each other on campus, found that each other and their own mantra is completely opposite, but the personality is so compatible with a love that unfolds, but did not expect that the movie also added the intersection of cute and ordinary children, male students who are not interested in love Yachiyo and fuzi four students who constantly confess to him Under each person's own values, through the back and forth of three story lines, it presents the complexity of love and the different choices and results of love.
Just like Chen Danyan's famous saying about love: Love for me, not the kiss of the skin, not a vegetable and a meal, it is an immortal desire, is a heroic dream in a tired life.
The same is true of life, we never know which seemingly inconspicuous little things will have an important impact on our lives, so no one thing is irrelevant, we have to treat every moment of life with care.
Maybe life is boring and always seems to be set in stone, but one day we will become different because we meet someone.
Meet the right person and he or she will make you want to be a better person. Nana Shikano, who has low self-esteem, will develop self-confidence, enthusiasm for life, gentleness for setbacks, and hope for the future. Nana Shikano is no longer alone, not divided into "you" and "world", but "you and him" and "world". Zero Kosaka is the last straw in Nana Shikano's heart when she wants to say goodbye to the world, a deep bondage.
Nana Shikano is cowardly and timid but kind to life and has a soft and kind heart, and wants to die but can't do it, and can only turn herself into a squid again and again. After stepping into society for many years, we may feel that Nana Shikano is weak and explosive, like a flower in a greenhouse. But if you think about it carefully, who hasn't been sentimental in those green years, seriously sad, seriously sad.
Youth is fleeting, and the short-lived vitality is the most worthy of abrupt stopping, so youth always carries such a strong gray. The only change is probably that the people in it have lost their pain. Virtual violence rushes into the retina, and the real pain is less obvious.
Even if he was stabbed by himself, the thought in his mind was "Today's mother is going to make fried chicken, what to do with tomorrow's English speech." It didn't take much courage to point a paper knife at the wrist, and without hesitation, he ran to the roof in tears for the cries in the distance. Should such a torn existence mean that we have lost our reverence for life and death, or that we believe in the romance of living and dying?
The light of nature, the gentle embrace, the promise of a swearing teenager cannot escape the flies on the tip of the toes in the future, and the squid burn scars on the wrists that will eventually heal.
But who cares?
Yes, in the fleeting and loving days,
While we still have the strength to talk,
Let's talk about the future...
