At the beginning of my watching ,i was almost totally to be made to think that this movie is produced by Quentin Tarantino.It's so obviously similar to sinister-gang's style productions of Mr.Tarantino.
Sinister gang + copious lins + disordered clues +orient cultural element=philosophic meditation
All these important elements consist a fantastic particualr story and an independent role who sticks to his illusion and his conviction.A weak power resists the world-wild's change.That's the dignity of the man's persisting object.Our killer accomplished his a series of cruel and revenge massacre and creat a touching ending for obtaining his dignity.Actually it's not a dramtical story neither a rare one.we can find much inspiration from the other movies like Léon.But it's particular because of its mixture of the occident back groud and the orient spirit.
But the importance of my discussion is not to conment this movie and just for observing the japanese culture.
Why our small neighbor can establish its identifing cultural symbol even though all of them are issu from the ours?Why the occident people can recognize the japanese philosopy when they think about the chrysanthemum and the knives?
In recently years ,the chinese finance has produced many economic miracles .But we did not creat any new modern conceptions or any systems of consciousness .The japense conveys their effectness and tight collaboration to the world .
