What kind of film is 'Bugonia'? — Why do people take 'incomprehensible actions'? [Structural Explanation]
This work is not merely a film review.
When people take 'incomprehensible actions',
there is always a 'mismatch of premises' there.
If you look at the world without noticing this 'mismatch',
other works, and reality itself, will look completely different.
The film 'National Treasure': The trap hidden in 'effort = virtue' — The essence of success
The film 'Demon Slayer'

Why do wars happen and why don't they stop? The 'structure where people can no longer be human' depicted in Avatar
An article that deciphers how war expands from an individual's unprocessed emotions, rather than from 'ideology' or 'justice,' through the movie 'Avatar.'
It depicts where conflicts on the scale of crowds and nations begin.
A story about a Japanese film I thought was 'too beautiful'
'Why do people write love letters?'
Along the way, there were moments when I thought it was 'too beautiful' and I pulled back a few times. Perhaps a love letter is not a confession.

▶ Why do stories pierce the 'unconscious'? Deciphering the deep structure of humanity through literary works
📚 Works by Kenji Miyazawa
1️⃣ The question posed by 'The Restaurant of Many Orders' which the literary industry almost closed off: The true fear lies in the unconscious and the 'inner room'
When stories became things that could be 'read with peace of mind,'
where did the questions that were there go?
2️⃣ The world you can return to from 'The Restaurant of Many Orders': The story of the 'inner room' that leads to the unconscious
From the article above, rather than 'explaining' that structure,
I write from the perspective of whether there is a place to return to after passing through it
as well.
🎨 The world of Katsushika Hokusai
To you who feel 'Am I strange?': What the movie 'Miss Hokusai' gently taught me
To those who feel that nothing happens no matter how hard they try: The specifications of a world where 'it exists because it exists'
Creation does not begin with 'meaning' or 'evaluation'.
It moves before you realize it.
Even if you try to stop it, it won't stop.
The words and way of life left behind in Hokusai's later years
express a movement that precedes 'wanting to get better' or 'wanting to be evaluated'.
Before looking for a reason to draw,
there is something already being drawn.
That is not talent,
but perhaps a natural movement as a living creature.

Why do Hokusai's compositions and 'sways' occur?

🎬 Extra Edition: Articles that live the 'structural essence'
Why is Gaudi spoken of as a 'stoic genius'? The misunderstood Park Güell and 'places the body chooses first'
There are things the body chooses before understanding.
Not evaluation or knowledge, but the feeling of 'I want to be here'.
That may be a sign that the starting point of judgment within you
is moving before it even becomes words.
When you choose based on 'whether you can breathe'
rather than 'whether it is correct',
the world you see changes a little.
A society mass-producing adults who cannot think: The true identity of 'mama's boy business' and 'baby food culture'
The 'structure that stops sincerity' seen in movies and plays

in an era where kindness and consideration have become standardized.
Why are 'unpleasant people' more sincere? Trust called 'consistency' learned from Snape
Movies are not just for enjoying stories,
