      It's Hirokazu-eda's family and the world

      During the period of staying at home during the epidemic, several films by Hirokazu Kore-eda were successively supplemented. "Walking On", "Deeper Than the Sea", "No One Knows", "Sea Street Diary", "Miracle". It is Hirokazu Kore-eda's elegant and restrained style of narrative. The film's presentation of the nuanced details of life makes the audience's viewing emotions very soothing. Through the story of a pair of families, the eternal theme in Hirokazu Kore-eda's films is the discussion of...

      Don't take miracles too seriously, work hard!

      8.23 After watching √ It was Hirokazu Koreeda who named the movie so big, but he accidentally used the word "miracle" to implement the word "miracle" in a very small thing. And this work is narrated by Hirokazu Koreeda using a new perspective of "children". Children should be carefree, but all kinds of life make them grow. The word miracle, although it may feel great, is actually some of our seemingly unreachable wishes. When people want to realize their wishes, they always want to find some...

      time

      Now I seldom write about the aftermath of the movie, because there are so many things that I can write, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my pen.

      Typhoon Tian stayed at home, finished his homework, and started to lazily read "Miracle" by Hirokazu Koreeda. Hirokazu Kore-eda has been reading too much recently, and I like it more and more. Discuss with someone that Hirokazu-eda created the characters, the plot, the yellow butterfly, throwing away all the clothes when the wife...

      What would you wish for if a miracle happened?

      Finally finished watching Miracle last night, as always, it was Hirokazu Kore-eda's style. A few children naively believed that a miracle would happen when the two Shinkansen trains crossed, and their wishes would come true at that time, so they brought their wishes to the place where the trains meet with delicious horse meat sashimi. Kumamoto Prefecture. The whole movie is so light, there are no twists and turns and no false alarm. From the beginning to the end, what I can feel is warmth...

      Healing Journey

      When I first saw the title of this film, I thought it was a fantasy film, similar to the kind of film that travels through space to see you, but after watching it, I found out that there is no miracle, it's all because of different loves, there are The relationship between brothers, the friendship between friends, the cover of grandfather and the teacher in the infirmary, and the care of a strange old couple made a group of unreliable children embark on a wish-making journey, and finally...

      1. Their dreams are painted on the white flag, fluttering in the breeze; 2. After that day, life thought it would not change anything because of their wish, but they had changed themselves; 3. "Compared to home, I am still I chose the world." 4. Small emotions, occasional smiles, such a movie, I like it very much; 5. Miracles have already...

      The foreshadowing, so long and so broken, turned out to be for the cry, desire, and expectation of that minute. No matter how unsatisfactory the world is, if there is a pure heart, there is hope, there will be...

      "Nobody Knows", "Never Stop", "Miracle"... Hirokazu Kore-eda is probably one of the directors who is best at filming children. I really love it. I really want to live across from Kagoshima...

      In Japan in 2011, there were first a group of kindergarten children who traveled thousands of miles to visit their good friends who dropped out due to illness; then there were a group of elementary school students who went all the way to pray for a miracle to fulfill their wishes. -- --If the library teacher doesn't want me, I'll marry the infirmary teacher. --me too. --Can't! I put it first. —— Hang Yi: I didn’t say that wish. ...I chose the world, not my family! -2015.04.11 →→→ 2017.04.10...

    "Miracle" is a happy and lively children's film. Its brightness is unique in Shizhi's works. He did a very good job. Instead of using a fixed long lens to shoot a fierce shot of the scenery outside the window, he made a feature film that meets the needs of ordinary audiences based on market research.
    Even if the divorce of the parents caused the separation of the brothers, "Miracle" hardly shows the conflicts between the parents and the...
