Takashi's Story


One thing i didn’t understand was Takashi plot. All i know is that his boss (guy chewing gum) killed him because he didn’t want to do something that had to do with the schematics. Could somebody please clarify, it seems like they explained that part of the plot poorly or maybe I wasn’t paying attention enough, nevertheless awesome movie though :)

...please clarify...
Well that's the thing IMO...there wasn't a lot to clarify. I don't think you missed much at all. Just when we start to find out a bit about the brother and sister, they are killed off and we wonder why they were even introduced into the film. It seemed pretty pointless to me.

Takashi was a member of an anti-government terrorist group. The schematic was a bomb plot. Takashi had grown uncomfortable with the bombings and was becoming disillusioned. He had only joined the organization in the first place out of desperation, in the hope that by overthrowing the government a better society could be built and he could find happiness. He decided that Kidokoro's methods were only hurting the innocent and nothing good was going to come of it, so he tried to leave the group. So Kidokoro killed him.
