11/1/2017 Are we all one or are we alone?


I found a facebook post about a japanese boxer (Genki Sudo) who held up a sign saying "we are all one" instead of his national flag.




 I then though if you remove some letters from it, you get 
"we are alone" 
reflecting the idea of separating from a union. 


It immediately came to my mind that this could be used as the film's title/ as a part of the mise-en-scene as the plot starts with the detective losing his family, the thing that unites them together and makes them "all one". He then isolates himself from everyone else, having to go through waves of grief.

This can also act as a metaphor for society. Every social class is not united but separated. Under some situations (eg: Strikes), the classes go against each other while others are unwilling to lend a helping hand. Though under world scale threats , they may unite becoming all one to cease the threat.
