      "Summer of Kijiro" after watching

      Prince Tai

      2020.10.20 Core Coursework

      The movie "Kiujiro's Summer" was released in 1999.

      This is an emotional comedy with absurd and road elements, and it was written, directed, and starred by Takeshi Kitano himself.

      The film tells the story of Kikujiro, a middle-aged man who is idle, and a lonely elementary school student who has lost his parents, Masao, to find the latter's long-lost mother. The...

      handsome uncle

      "My name is Kikujiro, get out of here!"

      Who would introduce themselves like this?

      Is there anyone who likes to introduce themselves like this?

      Kikujiro is so cool

      rather say

      Kitano Takeshi is a dashing person

      I just finished reading the book "Kitano Takeshi's Tavern"

      About childhood about summer

      "Sir,
      what's your name?"
      "Kiujiro, fuck it, get out!" It's

      hard to imagine Takeshi Kitano making such a movie of virginity - "Kujiro's Summer". In my impression, he is a representative of violence. Whether directing or acting, he is definitely a cruel and cold-blooded man. Here, is he looking for the summer of childhood?

      A young boy, Zheng Nan, who lives with his mother-in-law, goes to find his mother who has never met alone during the lonely summer vacation....

      The warmest Kikujiro

      In 1999, the movie Kikujiro's Summer, starring Takeshi Kitano, was released. The film tells the story of a third-grade student, Zheng Nan, who plans to go to another city to visit his mother during the holiday. After the neighbor's aunt finds out, she wants to help Zheng Nan fulfill this wish, so she arranges it. His own useless husband accompanied him all the way. Two people, one big and one small, stumbled and bumped along the way, and after causing a lot of trouble, they finally took...

      It's better than "Perfect World" and "Grand Central Station", but it's more expensive. I just watched the movie today after listening to "Kiujiro no Summer" for hundreds of...

      This is a movie about growing up. The beginning of the plot may be a little absurd, but it is undeniable that "Summer of Kikujiro" is a masterpiece that shows the growth of childhood and is about life. Facing the footsteps of Zhengnan's search for his mother, Kikujiro is in the film instead. More like a child, he lost all his money and was forced to walk with Zhengnan to find his mother, which calmed a summer's impetuous heart and was moved by this ordinary...

      ❶ In the "Strange Uncle" section, cut about 42 seconds of pedophilia (unexposed). Influence the rationality of the follow-up Zhengnan crying in the taxi and the audience's understanding of the dream caused by the tattoo, not to mention the educational significance; ❷There are many "non-still picture" scenes, and the obvious pause between the scenes creates a unique comedy effect (although not my cup of tea). The two people wearing sunglasses in the hotel violated the rules and were dissuaded by...

    Movie plot

    The long-awaited summer vacation has finally begun, but there is nothing to be happy about for a boy who is in the third grade of elementary school. All my friends went to the beach or their parents’ country to play, and even the football team did not practice on vacation. In the lonely summer vacation, even the school roads that Zheng Nan was most familiar with seemed unfamiliar. Every day, except for writing down the weather report...

    "Kikujirô no natsu" is the most autobiographical and affectionate work in Kitano Takeshi's creation process. Compared with the reticence and bloodyness of the past, this time with a lot of words and funny will make people experience a silent experience in joy and joy. Moved from the heart   .
