The epitome of real society in the times - "Tokyo Sonata"
I originally thought it was a movie about musicians, but it turned out to be a work that reflects the contemporary real society in Japan. It combines a series of contemporary social problems such as domestic violence, unemployment among middle-aged groups, and contemporary education, and even shows the attitude of young people to join the army and participate in the war at the time of the Middle East War.
At the beginning of the film, the small family of four is actually a microcosm of...

There is always a light in life
A movie I watched a long time ago.
What I remember most is the moonlight sonata flowing out under the hands of the youngest son. The stubborn and serious father, the gloomy mother, and the expressions on the faces of the beautiful piano teacher are all a kind of relief that has been cured. That beam of light shot on the piano gently and dimly, and cast a beam of beautiful light in their hearts.
What is talent? The teacher said that your son is accomplished at the piano. Maybe...

When I heard what my father said, I couldn't take it back, because it was the dignity of a father, and a parent, without dignity, would be finished. So why do you need children? Because no matter how miserable you are, do you have almighty authority and power in front of your children? It is really difficult for a person to truly grow into an adult. The vast majority of people, all their lives, have been miserably seeking a little bit of security.
Needless to say, from elementary...

I watched the film in two parts last night and this morning. On the one hand, I did this because the length of the film was too long. On the other hand, I also read a short comment from a friend who said that the two parts of the film are very different. Indeed, after watching the first half of last night, I felt so depressed, from social problems to family problems, I was breathless. After watching the second half, I finally relaxed and returned to calm.
The first half of the film is...

Improve self-worth and deal with black swan events
This is a surreal movie that vividly expresses personal helplessness and deception, so much so that after watching it, I felt a sense of horror.
A good film where you can see yourself or be inspired and change you, I think this film is very inspiring, the beginning of a family breakdown begins with each other's silence and The mistrust that comes, many tragedies could have been avoided, but after falling into the cage of self-limitation, I couldn’t...

The embarrassment of middle-aged unemployment, the anguish of being stuck in a family, the real sadness of life, is not something that young literary and artistic young people who are trying to write new words to express their sorrows can experience. How can I start over? No, no more, that bit of dignity. It's a pity that the film doesn't maintain a pathetic realism tone throughout. From picking up the money, the story goes out of control and develops in a dramatic direction, and then abruptly...
