"Confession" is a Japanese film released in 2010, directed by Tetsuya Nakajima and starring Takako Matsu, Masao Okada, Kano Kimura and others. The film is adapted from Minato Kanae's name**, and the story revolves around a female teacher who launches a series of revenge plans against her students in order to avenge the child who was **. Next, we will take you through this heart-wrenching story. Yuko Moriguchi is a teacher at a junior high school, and she often raises her lovely daughter Aimi alone. However, Aimi accidentally drowned in the school swimming pool. After investigation, Yuko found that Aimi was ** by two students in her class. Yuko decides to launch a plan for revenge against the two students, which she announces to the class and reveals her revenge plan in class. Yuko's revenge plan unfolds gradually, and she exploits the weaknesses and fears of her students to make them suspicious and attack each other. In the end, Yuko's revenge plan succeeds, but she also pays a heavy price for it. Another Japanese film that has attracted much attention is "Seppuku", directed by Masaki Kobayashi and starring Tatsuya Nakadai, Koji Ishisaka and others. The film tells a gripping and thought-provoking story about a samurai seppuku.

In October of the 7th year of Kanei, a ronin named Sakumo Hanshiro came to Ii's house and asked to commit suicide by seppuku in the courtyard of Ii's house. Hanshiro Tsugumo was a skilled samurai whose family used to serve the Ii family, but was later expelled for a number of reasons. Hanshiro considers himself a homeless ronin with nothing to lose, so he decides to end his life by seppuku. However, the retainers of the Ii family did not believe in Hanshiro's sincerity, and they suspected that Hanshiro had come to assassinate him. So, they put Hanshiro to the test in an attempt to find out his flaws. Hanshiro showed extraordinary courage and wisdom in the face of these trials, and eventually won the trust of the Ii family. However, just as Hanshiro was about to commit suicide by seppuku, he suddenly changed his mind and decided not to commit suicide, but to avenge his family. It turned out that the reason why Hanshiro's family was expelled was because the retainers of the Ii family plotted to rebel, and Hanshiro's father was killed because he discovered this conspiracy. Hanshiro decides to use the trust of the Ii family to approach the retainers who are plotting the rebellion, and then wipe them out. Both films are based on the theme of revenge and show different revenge stories to the audience.

These films profoundly reveal the cost of revenge and ethical dilemmas, triggering deep reflections on justice, morality, and humanity in the audience.
