Why did they need a heroic villain?
5 June 2019
This is the farce or the cothurnus about a timid man who was mistaken for the charismatic villain 'O drakos.' As soon as I hear cheerful music, it falls over suddenly. It has a good balance of tensions.

The most impressive thing was the effective use of the mirrors. It was hiding itself in the dressing room was filled with a lot of posters. I was sure that there were only posters like a mimicry at the first glance. It reminded me Pris from 'The Blade Runner.'

I saw that the direcor gave full play to his skills because of many technical shots like still life shots by the fixed camera and 'the pillow shot' of Yasujiro Ozu. I like old classic movies like this because I can find these trial and error.

People who live underground barely get by every day with the vague melancholy for the invisible future. I can't resist it! Some people dance emotionally, others hug each other. People scatter their mind off by making sure each other like that. I can see they were full of energy by the infinite sincerity of attitudes for their lives. That's why they need 'O drakos' as a heroic villain. So they seemed to affirm their existences positively by the hero-worship and having hope him.
