8 stage of movie

Exposition: The movie starts with a noisy class. The teacher’s name is Yuko. In the beginning, the students didn’t listen to what Yuko was saying. They drank milk while fighting. Yuko wrote a huge Chinese character for “life” on the blackboard and announced her decision to resign.

The Trigger: Then Yuko told his daughter’s death and the truth. He didn’t tell who the two murderers were, but in telling the story, the classmates guessed who the two murderers were, Shuya and Naoki.
Yuko did not choose to call the police because the two students were underage and protected by the Minor Protection Law. Yuko stated that to make the students understand the weight of the crime committed, the two murderers drank milk mixed with the blood of AIDS patients. Then announce the school holiday.

The Quest: The school starts again, and the class has stayed the same. This class has a new teacher named Werther, who is energetic and energetic. Because Naoki has not come to school since the beginning of school, he expresses his hope that his classmates will help Naoki, and He visits Naoki’s house every week.
Naoki is not sick but has a severe psychological problem. He will clean up the things he has touched and used and will not let others touch them, but he will not clean himself up, and his condition is getting worse, which seriously affects the family’s daily life.
Werther would visit Naoki every week with what his student wrote to Naoki. The letters students wrote together contained the meaning of “Go to hell, murderer,” which worsened Naoki’s condition. One day Naoki’s mother decided to clean up Naoki. She gave him sleeping pills and cleaned him up when he fell asleep. Still, Naoki thought the filth and stench on his body and the feeling of hunger were the evidence that he was alive, so when Naoki woke up and found himself very clean, he thought he was going to die and had a complete mental breakdown.
Shuya was severely bullied at school. The teacher found out that the students in the class were bullying Shuya because of a note. Mizuki was the first person to be suspected of secretly giving the teacher the message because she had never bullied Shuya, so she was forced to kiss Shuya by her classmates.
Naoki’s mother discovered the meaning of what the students gave Naoki, so her spirit was broken.
Mizuki and Shuya made an appointment to meet under the bridge. Shuya showed Mizuki the results of the AIDS test. The two got close and finally got together. Shuya fought bullying for the first time in class for Mizuki.
On the other hand, Naoki ran out of his house to the convenience store and destroyed all the food on the shelf with his blood-stained hands. Naoki’s mom heard the truth from Naoki’s mouth – Naoki knew that Yuko’s daughter was alive but still threw her into the swimming pool, making her die.
Mizuki confessed to Shuya that she was the girl named Lunashi on the news, a girl who poisoned her whole family at 13.
On the other hand, Naoki’s mother was also on the verge of collapse due to long-term mental torture and decided to take Naoki and die together, but his son went mad and killed her. When the police came to the school for questioning, Mizuki accused Werther is the reason why Naoki’s mental breakdown.
Shuya recalled the reasons why his mother abandoned him and the expectations he received as a child, the reasons for his psychological distortion in the shadow of this childhood.

Surprise: Shuya videotaped at home and announced that he planned to create a large-scale terrorist attack at the school. He explained why he made this terrorist attack and left a suicide note. He just wanted to make his mother notice him again, so he want to make a killing that all the media will report, so he killed Yuko’s daughter. Shuya was very happy after knowing what Yuko had done to him and felt that the fatal disease would make his mother come to him, but he was not infected with AIDS.
Naoki killed his mother and sat in his home, recalling his motives for the crime. He wanted to be friends with Shuya, but Shuya was using him, so he wanted to do what Shuya didn’t do – kill Yuko’s daughter.
Shuya and Mizuki quarreled because Mizuki said Shuya Oedipus. Shuya killed Mizuki and dismembered the body, storing it in his refrigerator. Before Mizuki died, he remembered that he had foreseen Yuko by chance. Yuko admitted that he was the mastermind behind various events. Mizuki tried to defend Shuya, but Yuko laughed.

Critical Choice: Yuko returns resentment with resentment but still not redeemed. She weeps in the middle of the road but stands up within minutes. She still has revenge unfinished.
The screen turns back to the portrait recorded by Shuya. He visited the university once because he received an email from his mother, but he did not enter the door. He decided to meet his mother after he declared his crime. After finishing taking the video, he put the video on the website.

Climax: Shuya gave a speech on the podium at the graduation ceremony. After the speech, he pressed the bomb button to detonate the bomb. The bomb didn’t explode. He looked down and saw that the bomb he had set up was no longer under the podium.

Falling action: Shuya received a call from Yuko. Yuko exposes that the truth is he walked into the office before and knew that his mother had already remarried and completely abandoned his reality. Yuko also told her that she had placed the bomb in Shuya’s mother’s office and knew that Shuya’s mother never forgot Shuya.

Resolution: At the end of the story, Shuya has a psychological breakdown because he killed his mother with his own hands. He saw the hallucination of his mother being blown up in front of him. He answered the phone and heard Yuko say: “The bomb maker, the bomb detonator, It’s all you,” and then wailed, kneeling in the crowd. Yuko walked in and said: “This is my revenge, the actual hell.” She tugged at Shuya’s head: “Starting here is the first step in correcting your life.” Then she stopped a while and said: “Just kidding.”
