Chapter 5 Takeshi Kitano's flowers

After reading an article by a friend, he said that there is an extremely beautiful but cold female colleague in the office. She is impeccably dressed and works almost perfectly, which is completely comparable to the female agent in the 007 movie.However, one day, he met her in the copy room, and saw that she was still wearing the clothes she wore yesterday, looking a little tired, and her stockings were a little bit torn.He was even a little happy, because he saw her flaws, so besides being perfect, he added a little intimacy. Many times, we are looking for a little gap in human nature. We are happy to find the concealed tenderness in the cruelty, glimpse the fragile moment in the hard person, look for the fluctuation of the human soul in the absolute order, and look for the fluctuation of the human soul in the impenetrable secular world. In the city, look for gaps that can be broken and stitched.

The moment I saw the flowers painted by Takeshi Kitano in his movies, I had such a surprise.In "Huahuo", the most memorable are those paintings by Takeshi Kitano: a white horse with a golden sunflower on its head; two bats with water-red orchid heads; even the cat's eyes are white calla lilies flowers; and brilliant fireworks blooming in the black night sky.There is also the recurring theme of cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms by the blue river, and the most talked about painting: in the depths of pink cherry blossoms, the back of a person in gray-green clothes, beside him, a short knife Inserted in the soil.Also, my favorite painting - it appears in the subtitles at the end: the little girl in a floral dress, standing in a dark green field full of red and pink flowers, the flowers gradually fade away, gradually becoming black The bright dots on the green background, the dark green is like twilight, and the flowers have no fear, "very proud".

This cold, half-faced, violent man likes to draw, and he likes to draw flowers.And his recent work "Achilles and the Tortoise" simply tells the life story of the painter and displays his 70 paintings again. It is a condition we love to see in others, and it is one of our most innocent longings in times of difficulty.As a result, it has also become the most popular narrative mode for novels and movies: Tough guys also have tenderness, prostitutes also have true feelings, surly old women have bean curd mouths, small flowers in the cracks of stones, wild lilies have spring, grizzly bears also have spirituality, and bandits At the last moment, I felt compassion.In the impossible, at the most improbable moments, gaps suddenly appear and are severed to reveal the most complete picture of the soul.

A person, the thing that attracts us the most, the thing that can tempt us to fit in with it, the one that is closer to nakedness than the nakedness of the body, is the moment when the cracks in human nature are exposed.In Salinger's "A Story for Esme—With Love and Sorrow", one of the actions of the girl who attracts the protagonist's attention is her absent-mindedness in the chorus, and the fluttering of her nostrils, which shows that she is whispering. yawned.Even in the middle of a lengthy meeting, there will be a moment of sympathy between the two men who slipped out under the pretext of smoking and met on the rooftop who were former work rivals.

We are also willing to search for the moments of human nature fluctuations in all solemn occasions, just like at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, we saw the actor in the queue who was too nervous and kept observing the movements of his companions around him; , In the welcome queue, the two girls whispered for a moment.That gap in humanity did not hinder its dignity, but gave it a proper intimacy.
