Monster (2023) ---A classy work by Hirokazu Kore-eda, with many beautiful and innocent(?) moments including the final film score by Ryuichi Sakamoto. As a fan of both, it was inadvertently enchanting to see the film's perfection after watching it.

However, after spending time to read some reviews and criticisms, considering the film from the perspective of whether we (the viewers or the filmmakers) ourselves are the minorities or not, we may need to wonder just who was looking for that "beauty", "innocence", or "classiness".
Perhaps they actually want some other things instead.
映画の重要なパートでかなりメロディーのはっきりした曲が流れていて、最近の教授の曲は心象スケッチみたいな曲が多いっぽいのにすごいなあ、と思っていたら普通に既存曲でした。「Aqua」って曲、iTunesにも入ってたのにちゃんと聴いたことがなかったけど大好きになった。
