A suited woman, filmed from behind, walks down a corridor towards the light. Her heels ring on the floor. She passes two old men, wreathed in cigarette smoke. “Oppose us, will you?” they say. “Make a fool of the organisation?” The woman walks straight past. Four young men fall in behind her as she enters the light. Her face we never see, because we do not need to. The iconography, the silhouette and the story are unmistakable to every voter in Japan: Yuriko Koike.
一个身着西装套裙的女人——镜头拍的是她的背影——沿着一条走廊走向尽头的阳光。高跟鞋叩击地面,发出铿锵有力的笃笃声。她从两个吞云吐雾的老男人身旁走过。“跟我们对着干,就凭你?”他们叫嚣,“不把组织当回事吗?”女人径直走了过去。当她走到走廊尽头时,四名年轻男子跟到她身后。我们始终未看到她的脸,因为我们不需要看到。在日本,每个选民都不会弄错她的样貌、她的身影、她的故事——她就是小池百合子(Yuriko Koike)。
