"The last day of class, a teacher of the students are dismissed with the announcement of leaving school, but adding a confession: that their four year old daughter, who recently died, drowned in the school pool, was actually killed by two students in that class, and adds that it has launched its vendetta against them. "
The new generation of young people is crap.
And if not, look Confessions and tell me what you think. So far, classes and there were always problems, but year after year, we hear of massacres like Columbine and the like, violence against teachers and suddenly, you think that scenario is put forward in Battle Royale sounds more and more realistic. Confessions
I mistake from the beginning. With that synopsis and not seen any trailer or any progress or anything, I thought I was with another Japanese horror film is that I discovered a spectacular drama, which has to be taken by the horns and right and slowly dissect to understand at all .. .

Easily, the first full half hour of the film might have worked as an excellent medium-length, has a compelling story and the climax with the final revelation (in that segment) closes the idea it has been raising the main character very well. During this first segment, the Year 1 teacher, Miss Moriguchi, instructs his students about life and the importance of it, after the death of his infant daughter at the hands of two of their hateful students. No, hateful is not the word that best describes them. I think it would Turre (although bastards are strong words, but fit perfectly): from the innocence of not paying attention, talking over the teacher and annoy your colleagues, to commit the most horrendous atrocities, these kids really represent everything a murky society reflects on them ... and reason to see them cruelly punished by the teacher that has nothing to lose.
After the final revelation that these wonderful close 30 minutes early, it opens up the story from the vision of three students, the mother of one of them, and substitute teacher, all chained from this' confession 'in the classroom. The rest of the film is responsible for developing various lenses, and all character are in an uncomfortable position for the viewer: to what extent is a victim or perpetrator is? Everyone can build your story and decide how far this or that character is guilty or not, but nobody pulls off the ballot.
I learned that several have not been on the ground, and are tired halfway. the first act can be awfully soporific, but I found it refreshingly menacing, and very nearly a monologue by Takaku Matsu, which is to praise his knees. Until the end of the film has several twists and turns that you are rounding the idea of \u200b\u200bthis particular Japanese vision of 'Crime and Punishment', as it mentions a character.

Another reason for which Confessions stands, apart from its history more interesting, is by its visual style and interpretations. Leaving aside a couple of overacting on the part of young people in general are more than amazing and well you face the Takaku Moriguchi of Matsu, a fundamental pillar of the story and the film also, as time passes Little by little they are exploring new facets of these kids with no future, and leaves his characters sizing, here are frustrated with the typical teenage life, there are motives and hidden desires, desires to externalize the hard way, if necessary.
The other point is the style of the film. Visually, a drama does not look so of beautiful, but here it does. Although the abuse a little slow, the director Tetsuya Nakashima knows what he does and many of the sequences of the film are hiperestilizadas and everything runs like a dream, a dream without displacing plane of reality (one of the last scenes from the film transcends this plane, but aesthetically, it is very pretty) The crazy thing is also recognized insurgents English melodic bands like Radiohead, for example, is something I do not expect it at all and gives this important stylistic touch to the film. Gives character and power.
Yes it was a little weird the excessive use of blood. Perhaps to make a more violent and more accuracy to the moreleja you want to submit, but no less curious to see much hemoglobin exposed in a film of this style.

Confessions is a drama that should grab the hand, has a heartbreaking story altogether and crimped to it, a social commentary more interesting to discuss. Rightly was on the verge of entering among the nominees for the Oscars this year. The hard part will find the time and enjoy both the plot and its beautiful staging. Those who can, find a movie more than satisfactory.
