    Rewatch. Probably still my favorite is Hirokazu-eda. It is almost another way of shooting "Tokyo Story". Tokyo Story is the visit of the parents, the non-stop walking is the return of the children, but the family love is the eternal bond. The solemn and taciturn father, the thoughtful and lively mother, when the deceased eldest son becomes the only bond in the family, and the lonely back of the spare parents after the children leave... This kind of film will make people feel a pain in their...

    Death is the water spilled from the scoop, the boat stranded by the sea, the yellow butterfly that threw itself into the room. The family lives in the silent shadow of death. The old lady of the tree Xilin is the most vivid, and there are two lines that are particularly sharp in a group of gentle restraint, such as "It's better to keep...

    What Ozu was worried about in Tokyo Story was explained by Hirokazu Koreeda in reverse. He is the most peaceful movie with almost no family conflict, even death does not make you cry, but gives you a firmer pace in life. The slow beat is your memory and what you should do, mourning your parents, looking forward to your younger generation, like the flying yellow butterfly passed down from generation to generation, endlessly growing and walking. The film version of the Broadway Director's Meeting...

    Shizhi's works are quite different from Ozu in form, but are very similar in content and atmosphere. The film is rich in details, the lines are close to life, and the scheduling and composition are remarkable. Except for the medicine bottle, tombstone, chasing butterflies in the room and the rising mirror at the end, they are all fixed positions. The repeated images of ups and downs and stairs in the exterior fit the theme of "the road of life keeps walking". The deepest personal impression is...

    The opening cut-in point was well chosen. It was selected at the stall where the mother and daughter were preparing for lunch, and the close-up shot was cut directly. The camera also made a zoom conversion. When she refused, the mother guessed the result without looking back. The confident self-confidence she showed was really like the result of living together for decades. Father walking to the seaside road to stop is a foreshadowing planted by the...

    I found an interesting Yoshio Harada who played Odagiri's father in [Minnan's Happiness] and Shirin, who played Odagiri's mother in [Tokyo Tower], so Odagiri and Abe Hiroshi can try to play brothers~ | Shanghai...

    Director Hirokazu Kore-eda especially likes to shoot stairs. In the film, there is a long stone stair under the shade of a beautiful tree that appears in the camera many times. It is a stair in a residential area in Yeshan...

    In the daily life of Orientals, this kind of late warmth, helplessness and cruelty are often staged, and they consciously and unrepentantly walk incessantly. Adhering to the same hard-talk and subtlety, they shaped their homes and fabricated their...

    No matter how peaceful life is, there are occasional turbulences. Some things still can’t keep...

    "You are only 25 years old, and you can be whoever you want to be." There are no ups and downs in the plot, tepid, simple and plain dialogue, quiet life, warm details of life, and the stories told in this way are always eloquent. Touching. Life is still endlessly circulating, dull, responsible, fettered, maybe, this is also called life. When the last yellow butterfly flew out, it made people's tears flow uncontrollably....
