The elegant costume of the lovers make them look like puppet as well . while kitano keeps reminding us these characters are based on puppet play , he also subverts the tradition of bunraku performance by minimizing the influence of dialogue in his film 另外，片中西岛秀俊为了防止精神失常的菅野美穗四出闯祸而以红绳把自己和她绑在一起，后来又穿起色彩鲜艳的和服，也令观众觉得他们很像木偶。
The film is composed of three short stories . the first one is about the aimless journey of a pair of lovers hidetoshi nishijima and miho kanno ; the second one involves the reunion of a yakuza boss and his old lover after a thirty years interval ; the third story talks about the fanatical love of a fan to his idol singer kyoko fukada . although the characters of these three stories do come across each other at certain moment of the movie , the stories do not intertwine or have any explicit connection at all 本片讲述的是一个爱情故事，不，事实上，电影由三个短篇的故事组成，第一个故事讲述西岛秀俊和自杀不遂而变得痴呆的菅野美穗在日本各地漫无目的地游荡第二个故事说黑帮头目三桥达也和旧情人松原智惠子的重逢第三个短篇则是狂迷对年青偶像深田恭子过激的爱。
