Society's issues and the consequences
What Goes Around Comes Around (Episode 1)
Turning a blind eye on an issue
That's the gist of the episode. It's also quite ironic how Nanai is a model student who is awarded for his intelligence but chose to be ignorant instead. We cannot ward off the fact that girls were also in the wrong, but the inability of a man to take responsibility for his actions is such cowardice. And his understatement of blurting out words like "You can just go for an abortion" is astonishingly ignorant.
It's true what they say, "Those who don't care, feel more comfortable in life" And they just get away with it.
This statement tackles many more issues other than Nanai's. It also speaks about how an apathetic person values his desires over someone else's necessity.
Also, another notion that must be given the limelight in this episode, is people's lack of empathy. Just as Nanai did, he did not bother to understand why the ladies were in dire need of support. But as Nanai went through that same experience, he started realizing how lacking he is in empathy. And that same empathy was what he neglected in the first place.
Everyone is this way but as odd as it may sound, we seek someone who is obtaining the qualities of a perfect being, which doesn't exist. People are hypocrites at some point but being in that situation hones them to be more empathetic. To believe that only changing is the way to reduce that hypocrisy. And despite not knowing anything at all. In spite of noticing the surface of things, we must bear in mind that empathy is a must.
After talking about how the episode has interpreted these ideas, I'd like to say that the actors did great in their roles. And the music suits the ambiance and the theme which is amazing. I have to thank the director for doing such an excellent interpretation of the issues revolving around society.
How acceptance alters a person's perception (Episode 2)
This episode centralizes on being traditional ladies. It reflects upon the segregation of male and female students and a teacher who is hiding behind the closet. This female teacher is stuck to her past, it somewhat seems like she had an interest in her female friend who liked a male. This left Ms. Naruemon hostile to relationships in general. She isn't just in denial of her own sexuality but also in denial of Love being an existential thing.
Due to this, Ms. Naruemon became too unbearable for students to handle, and they were overly restricted. Considering the extent of restriction, it is without a doubt that these female students ache for interaction with the opposite sex. Apparently, their curiosity contradicted Ms. Naruemon's belief that ladies are ought to be distant from love. She concludes that the presence of the boys taints the minds of the ladies. But the way she brings it up is not fully because of how boys put troubles into being, but the absence of something within her. It is that absence prompting how she conceives the intolerance of guys.
Some scenes even amplify the superficiality and close-mindedness of Ms. Naruemol's rules. Like, when boys were deprived of saying the word "Milk". And when ladies were prevented from laughing at the boys' jest. All these useless rules were a fruit of Naruemol's unaccomplished love. The breakthrough from the confinement was the significant reason for her to love again. It was satisfying to observe people justifying how love is not reliant on gender. Just as the teacher said "Love whatever it looks like, it still is love, right?"
That sentence can change a person's perspective. It altered Ms. Naruemol's thinking, from close-minded to open-minded perception.
If you look at the mood used in the cinematography was fascinating especially the scene when Ms. Linda kissed Ms. Naruemol. The story was obviously captivating. However, the actors did a great job but some extras were lacking, despite that the episode captured the essence of why close-mindedness is undesirable in a society.
The court doesn't decide if you're guilty or not, but instead, it depends on how much money you have. (Episode 3)
Corruption is corruption no exceptions, your placing in the society does not give you the honor to accept and be in possession of that money. And whoever is behind that money shall be proclaimed guilty. The money-hungry society has drowned itself in money and would go through heights for the sake of comfort while the victims keep silent of it. Because money measures your innocence.
Minnie a student who lies to appear righteous while deep in her is carved the misdeeds she'd committed. She doesn't own up to her wrongs but goes in circles since it doesn't matter, money can save her. Continually doing these things, she ceaselessly disregards the consequences of such actions. And even after murdering 4 students, Minnie persists in having a life with ease. I must add how the 4 female students following Minnie can be an embodiment of the inability to escape from our mistakes. Situations or people can remind us of our errors. The length it takes for the well-off to be declared guilty is enormous. Corruption is mainstream in this world. It will never end unless we think past money.
The family's concern for shame rather than the misdoings of their daughter is utterly disgusting. Let innocent lives be taken but my money will always be my image. A sickening behind the scenes of powerful people. Smiling in the camera without capturing the bodies outside the frame. Minnie's, however, was just a satisfactory end to depict how certain actions lead to consequences.
