After the Storm Quotes

  • Shinoda Yoshiko: I wonder why it is that men can't love the present. Either they just keep chasing whatever it is they've lost... or they keep dreaming beyond their reach.

  • Shinoda Ryôta: The lottery isn't gambling.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: Of course it is.

    Shinoda Ryôta: No, it is not.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: What is it, then?

    Shinoda Ryôta: It's a dream. A dream you buy for 300 Yen.

  • Shinoda Ryôta: I'm not... who I want to be yet. But, you know, it doesnt matter whether I've become what I wanted. What matters is to live my life trying to become what I want to be.

    We always talk about what kind of people we want to be when we grow up, and what kind of people we don’t want to be when we grow up. But even so, we have a value to exist and a reason to live. Just as potted plants may not bloom and bear fruit, buying a lottery ticket may not necessarily win the lottery. That's how life is, a lot of things don't make sense.

    Abe Hiroshi is really like his father, innocent, weak, lost, and he has to bite the bullet and move forward. Facing his son and wife, his expressions are subtle and the drama is in place. Trees and Xilin's play can always move me to cry, a son who has been in pain all his life was abandoned by another woman, "Is it really irreparable?" Poor old mothers in the world, I love this old lady.
