on the other hand i do get it, its abouts a cop who's partner ends up dissabled. its a film about the harsh realities that we al have limits.
nishi can fight, paint a car and do what ever the fuck he wants but there is a thought in the back of you're head that he struggles to comprehend what happened.
his character doesn't show allot of emotion for the first half of the film but i think thats intensional.
his cold stare makes it feel as if he feels guilty and useless but doesn't know how to show it.
on the other hand some of the things in this film are genuinely really weird, the subplot where he has to pay the yakuza back was not that important overral.
its a mixed bag but overral is a pretty good film. ngl this film is begging for a rewatch to understand it fully.my takeshi kitano ranking:

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply introspective film about a man confronting the hollowness of his professional life as his wife's illness forces him to reckon with what actually matters. It's a quiet meditation on loss and connection wrapped in the language of crime and obligation.
