The film "Fish Man" tells the story of the protagonist, Xiang Xianji (played by Xue Shiling), who was not good at expressing himself since childhood. Coupled with his strange and reclusive behavior, he was excluded by those around him. With a lonely and helpless heart, he often went to a Japanese restaurant at home, accompanied by fish. He was even more infatuated with the pleasure of the knife edge touching the fish when handling it. Xiang Xianji, who had long suppressed his emotions, Decided to go to Japan to start a new life. Deciding to start anew in Japan, Koganji endeavored to interact with the public. On the first day of school at the Moji Port Language School, he met two Taiwanese students, Chen Yen-chen (played by Cecilia Cheung) and Zhang Yi-wen (played by Cecilia Cheung). The seemingly peaceful school life actually conceals an unknown dark side among the characters. Chen Yifeng was a popular girl since childhood, but on the other hand, she was extremely concerned about what others thought of her and filled the emptiness in her heart through the flattery from those around her. Zhang Yiwen, on the other hand, had a strong sense of jealousy. On the surface, she was a close friend of Chen Fensheng, but deep down, she always wanted to outdo Chen Fensheng. Xiang Xianzhi, who was standing by her side, could never understand the complex and dark human nature and gradually fell into a deeper emotional abyss. In the end, Koganji, who was alone in Japan, could no longer bear the pressure of society. The long-suppressed emotions in his heart finally made him extremely disappointed with life. Under the tug-of-war between reason and emotion, he chose the most heroic way to complain about the unequal treatment society had given him. And that cut was like dealing with fish meat in the past, without hesitation and skillfully along the texture... The characters in the plot respectively take "fetishism, vanity and jealousy" as the dark sides hidden in their hearts. However, these seemingly normal negative emotions, due to the accumulation of a series of events, evolve into a bizarre murder case.[Collapse]
