Original Novel by: Miyuki Miyabe
Genre: Suspense thriller

Nakai Masahiro

Synopsis:
In a park, a woman's severed right arm with a shoulder bag is discovered by a young boy walking his dog.
The game begins....
The police conduct an investigation of the female abductions and murders that are occurring one after another. A television commentary program (wide show) receives a call from the culprit himself, and with the use of a voice changer, it is declared that the world's first live murder will be broadcasted over various forms of mass communication, including cellular phone. When an investigation of a fatal car accident killing both driver and passenger uncovers a body in the trunk, the two are thought of to be the mysterious culprits who conducted the serial murders. Case closed. Or is it?review:Sugooooooiiiii!!!!!! This is a mind-boggling movie....so, if you're not a fan of this kind of movie, you might go sleep^^; But, if you love this genre...you'll definitely enjoy this very much, like I do!!! This was #1 box office movie in 2002. The novel was best-selling. And Miyuki Miyabe became the Biggest Tax Payer 2002 in japan, in the writer category. While Nakai was #3 biggest tax payer in the johnny's office, that year, beating some of the directors of the office.
There are so many depths and symbolic things in the movie. And it even still left so many puzzles even after the movie ended. The timelines are also quite mixed up. You have to watch the movie at least, twice.
I love the way they show these serial incidents....then after 40 minutes of the movie, all the serial incidents are re-showed again, but this time...also showed what actually happened in the backstage (what the real culprits has done)!
I'm also amazed on how the main character does not show up until the 43rd minute x) And we were introduced to Peace's character by showing us his masterpieces, his original criminal works...rather than showing us a lot of Peace's scenes himself^^
Nakai is chooo kakkoiii in this movie! He acted as this intelligent and cold-blooded murderer, plain cool! It is said he almost refuse this role, coz he's not comfortable with serious roles...but, the director keep asking him, saying he can't picture any other actor to play Peace's role. Well...it really pays off....Nakai is definitely perfect for Peace's role!
Anyway, just like Nakai said in the press conference, "Do watch this when you're in a good and healthy condition," ^_____^
Anyway, The movie DID fast-forwards the whole story. The actual book consists of 2 volumes, the first volume is about Amikawa Koichi (Peace)'s childhood, but it was only shown as flashback in the movie.
I think the depth of the movie, is cynical critics to the media. And it is abt MEDIA. The internet, the cellphone, TV, papers, that shows up in the movie, indicates this. Peace tries to challenge the media that even by he himself allowed them to broadcast the LIVE murders, the police won't be able to find him or find proofs that he's the murderer. He proudly feels he has created the most perfect crime of all time. He even has the courage to appear live on TV station...
The people who investigated him, are really sure he's the murderer but they have no proofs. The character played by Kimura Yoshino finally think of a trick to get him admit his crime...
Yoshino's character announced that the serial murders are copycat of a crime that has existed before, and accused of PEACE as a copycat killer. Peace felt insulted and he reflexively denied, "it was my original piece work!!" thus revealing his own identity.
When he realized what he has done, he decided to commit suicide rather to be captured.
Why his head ridiculously separated from his body and exploded on the air, like a silly animation??
I read somewhere before, that it was a symbol of how media likes to exagerrate the facts they have and make fuss of evrything^^
Like I said, there are lots of symbolic stuff here, that cannot be interpret only by the eyes, but also by brain thinking.
That's why, Nakai said it is better for evryone to watch the movie in a healthy, fit condition.
