      Um

      It's Hirokazu Koreeda's Virgo. Overall, the sense of the situation is a little too strong, and the story is a little weaker. The movie "Phantom Light" tells the story of the wife slowly adjusting to the new family life after her husband commits suicide. In fact, the story of this movie will feel a little unfinished, more of a feeling, adapting to and getting rid of the unforgettable pain caused by the death of the family. In fact, from this point of view, although the paragraphs about the...

      The reason for the disappearance

      Has been with Yumiko entangled in Yufu's disappearance.
      What is tangled is not the disappearance, but the reason for the disappearance that disappears. Without a reason, our sadness, anger, and grievance have no enemy, no direction, and no basis. Emotions stagnated in the chest with increasingly uncertain speculation about the reasons, unable to release.
      The reason Yumiko got was the light at sea, and I thought of myself one day.
      When I was still in Xiamen that day, while...

      Reconcile with life

             I think it is a good movie as long as one of the following conditions is met. First, the movie takes you into a different world and can make you feel happy or satisfied;...

      It is the debut work of Hirokazu Koeda that makes us understand the courage and value of living

      (This article was first published on the WeChat public account: Ye Xiaomu's Private Cinema)

      01

      There have been a lot of news about suicide recently. Middle school students in Guangdong, university secretaries, vice presidents in Hubei, and student couples in Gansu. It's all pretty sad. Suicide may be a "private matter", and no one else can interfere, but you have already done it yourself, and there are not many sequelae left behind - what will your living family do in the future?...

      do you really know what you're talking about

      After reading so many movie reviews, too many people echo what they say. Do you understand?

      This film really failed. It was as mindless as Bi Gan's film. Completely petty bourgeoisie and complete literature and art equals complete separation from the world!

      People are not dolls in slow motion. They have to have motivation, they have to have contradictions, they have to have conflicts, and they have to have a storyline to advance. Don't think of those children's literature as...

      A woman's gloomy life. Yes, someone always dies, but in the early days he was much colder than he is now. From the color to the clothes, it didn't warm up until the end, but after all, hope was cast. Taiping is too...

      Very quiet and beautiful. Clean and restrained expression. There is quiet and sincere affection, grief, and regret. Those tender and compassionate everyday details are also moving. Poetically meditating on the enormity of loss, the immense aloneness of grief, and the bittersweetness circle of found and lost and found throughout life journey. The series of scenes of the funeral was so beautiful; in the endless sound of the tide, they walked silently in the mountains, the snow Su swiftly drifted...

      It's better than "Walking Nonstop", "Like Father Like Son" and "Deeper Than the Sea". It's amazing as a debut novel. It's not as bright as those few movies, the plot and pictures are dark, there is little conflict, and the occasional emotional outburst directly pierces people's hearts (including the other party's reaction). The composition is very, very subtle, people blend into the scene, hidden in the dark. Images of bicycles and trams are repeated. The overall quiet and meaningful, profound...

    Evaluation action

    The unique artistic temperament exuded by the visual language in the film makes people feel sorrowful and impressive. It is calm and objective, yet without sacrificing meticulous restraint, it fully displays the grief, depression, fragility, and loneliness of Yumiko's inner feelings after the bereavement.
    First of all, in terms of lens language, the biggest feature of the film is a large number of fixed long shots, which is inseparable...

    Movie quotes

    • Yumiko: It's harder to say goodbye if we keep postponing it.

    • Yumiko: [Recalling her first husband's unexplained suicide] I just... I just don't understand! Why did he kill himself? Why was he walking along the tracks? It just goes around and around in my head. Why do you think he did it?

      Tamio: [after giving it some thought] The sea has the power to beguile. Back when dad was fishing, he once saw a maborosi - a strange light - far out to sea. Something in it was beckoning to him, he said... It happens to all of us.
