takes place in an ordinary junior high school. At the last class meeting of this semester in Group B of a year, the head teacher Moriguchi announced that his daughter was killed by two classmates. Because of the protection of Japan's "Juvenile Law", they were not subject to legal sanctions, so Mr. Moriguchi launched his own retaliatory action.
"Confession" has a score of 8.7 on Douban. The movie uses a gloomy tone to set off a desperate and sad atmosphere. The plot unfolds in the plain confessions of the characters, and finally ends in despair, leaving only deep thinking about the ugliness of human nature.
Mr. Moriguchi did not directly commit violence to the murderer. Instead, he lied that he had added the blood of his husband (an AIDS patient) to the milk of the two murderers, then left calmly and quit his job as a teacher. Although
did not specify the murderer, the two teenagers' fear behavior was different from ordinary people after hearing the news, which exposed them to their classmates...
After the long vacation, teenager B Naoki thought he would be infected with AIDS. After being tortured, he didn't come to school. Although Shuya A still came to school, he was spurned and bullied by the whole class. The new teacher of
is passionate and simple. Under the instruction of Mr. Moriguchi, he used what seems to be an "education of love" to aggravate the level of bullying and Naoki's mental problems.
In the end, Naoki killed his mother under tremendous mental torture, and Shuya also used a bomb he made to kill his only important mother.
-1- Lack of education
Teenager A Shuya's mother is an electrician. After giving birth to Huya, she thinks getting married and having children hindered her future. She taught Xiuzai the principle of electrical appliances since she was a child, and fisted him if she was a little careless. In the end, she chose to divorce and left Xiuzai. As a mother,
left Xiuza with only a bunch of formula principles, but never gave him love. This caused Xiuzai's contempt for love and life.
In order to get his mother's approval, he did not hesitate to use his perverted invention to mutilate small animals and upload them on the website to attract his mother's attention. After winning the prize for his "anti-theft wallet", the headline of the newspaper was taken over by the girl who killed her family.
"What's so great about killing? If I were to kill people, I could do it myself." Xiuya said. He believes that only murder can get his mother's approval, and let Naoki act as an accomplice to implement the plan to kill Moriguchi's daughter.
Faced with Moriguchi's question, he just pretended to regret, and immediately said sarcastically: joking.
Young boy B Naoki grew up in the doting of his mother. He was weak and inferior, and he dared not speak. In the end, he participated in the murder of Mrs. Moriguchi's daughter. It was only because of the hypocritical approval of Huiya that he felt that he was worthwhile.
In the end, after seeing the girl open his eyes, he still threw her into the pool, just to prove that Xiuya couldn't do it, he could do it, and prove that he was not "nothing".
Faced with the investigation by Mr. Moriguchi on this matter, Naoki’s mother is still protecting her child, believing that the child is pure and kind, and the murder is only because of the instigation of a bad friend. Although the main line of the film is revenge, it leaves deep thoughts on the lack of parental education and doting...
-2-Legal loopholes
"What can protect your lives? Is it a parent or a weapon? The best way to protect you It’s actually the Juvenile Law.” Article 41 of the Japanese Juvenile Law stipulates that people under the age of 14 who commit crimes are not punished.
A law from promulgation to implementation to revision is naturally not smooth sailing. The original intention of the "Juvenile Law" is to protect juveniles from illegal violations. But malice is regardless of age, and how many minors have taken advantage of the law to enjoy the pleasure of murder?
Many films in Japan are bombarding the drawbacks of the juvenile law. It protects juveniles while also becoming juveniles. A catalyst for crimes.
Lunaxi Pharmaceutical's murder of relatives in "Confession" was not sanctioned by law, but was praised by her peers. I can't imagine how many tragedies will repeat itself around us under such loopholes in the legal system? In the
film, Mrs. Moriguchi's daughter was determined by the police to die by drowning, but she did not intend to reverse the case. Because she knew that even if the case was reversed, the two teenagers would be protected by the Juvenile Law.
The law does not produce redemption and punishment for offenders, but it has become a guarantee for the offenders. The film deeply reflected this deformed system and triggered a huge social response.
-3- The highest state of revenge——Zhu Xin
"I don't advocate repaying grievances, so you will never let go, they will be reborn one day, trust them." Moriguchi's lover, Sakuramiya justice, until the end of life Stopping her revenge for a moment.
However, there is no age limit for malice. From the moment you step into the abyss of malice, there is no salvation. Only destruction can be used to control evil.
"I want those two people to realize their own faults, to truly feel the importance of what they have committed, and to let them know how serious the crime they have committed, and then to live with this heavy burden." At the beginning of the
movie, I always think that Moriguchi's words are salvation to their souls and let them know that life is precious. But for the two teenagers who fell into the abyss of malice, this is just a fantasy. Teacher
lied that he had added her husband's blood to their milk. The teacher also retaliated differently for the different reactions of the two teenagers.
Juvenile B Naoki is timid and weak in nature, and when he hears the blood of AIDS patients, he becomes mentally ill. He chose to escape reality and stay at home. Mr. Moriguchi arranged for his new head teacher to maintain the teacher's weekly home visits, officially in order to drive him into the abyss of mental breakdown.
In the end, he couldn't control his consciousness and killed his mother. He will eventually commit suicide in a mental breakdown, in fear and condemnation.
Youth A Xiuzai, his heart is lonely and arrogant, longing for his mother's affirmation. But he regards life as a grass, and uses metamorphosis to mutilate animals, and even kills the girl who knows himself best. He is not afraid of bullying by classmates, his life is just to prove himself like a mother who abandoned him.
In the end, he wanted to draw the attention of his mother by creating a death incident. He published his suicide note and modus operandi on the website. Ms. Moriguchi saw his suicide note and dismantled the bomb he had originally placed in the auditorium and placed it in his mother's office. The moment Xiuzai pressed the bomb detonator, he thought it would be a vigorous explosion that would make headlines and arouse the attention and approval of his mother, but he did not expect that he killed his mother who was thinking about it every day.
Shuya, who knew the truth, cried bitterly in the center of the auditorium, and the movie also inserted a clockwise reverse image at this time. But everything is just Xiuya’s fantasy. He hopes that time can go back, and he hopes that there is no bomb detonator... At the end of the
film, Mr. Moriguchi came to the center of the auditorium, grabbed Xiuya’s hair and said to him, “Today, it’s you. The first day of rebirth." A tear of despair was left behind.
Shuya raised his head, but Mrs. Moriguchi sneered "just kidding!" which echoed the "joking" Shuya said to her when he killed the teacher's daughter. It indicates that the abyss of malice, there is no salvation...
-4- The abyss of malice, no salvation
Only those who are weak in heart will bully people who are weaker than themselves
simultaneously confirmed this in the bodies of the two teenagers. Xiuzai is weak, he only longs for a mother's affirmation. He didn't dare to face his own heart, and after Meiyue told her the weakness of his "Oedipus", he killed her in a rage.
Naoki's heart is also weak. In order to prove that he is not a waste, he actually killed a little girl.
kills because of weakness, and is protected by the juvenile law because of a minor. "Although the law can protect you, I will never forgive you." If you are evil, why should I remind you that you are just a child? The
film starts with sadness and ends with sadness, leaving only the torture of humanity. When the law cannot deter malice, perhaps only education can lead to good.
