The teacher has no empathy. The students are graduating. He might aswell shoot them, one by one. Why? Because that's basically what they've learnt to do in school. Be better than the other students, get into the better school, earn more money so you can live. Don't worry about the lives of the others.
If it upset you to see a teacher slaughtering a school - that was the point. This is what teachers do. A teacher's job is to fail students. Think about it. How can a person fail education? How can a person fail life because of the judgement of others?
"He's not crazy, he's just starting the next game". All Hasumi's doing is showing us an extreme version of what schools do to us all. He's just a product of it. He has no empathy. Have you any empathy for him?
There's no point in being angry at Hasumi. Try to understand why his doing what he's doing. Otherwise nothing will change.
This is a wonderfully put together movie that makes us feel part of the school. I felt as if I knew every single one of the students when their lives ended. Teenage romance, jealousy, hope, spirit, inspiration - everything alive ended on the day of their graduation, and after that they'd just be part of the capitalist machine.
Enjoyable on all levels, intelligent and painfully conscious.
