...can't write a short review

The presentation and resolution of the concept of "family" is very good. Even if there are some unclear points, it can be completely moved by the fetters between "birth, old age, sickness and death" embedded in daily life. Birth is the rebirth of each person when they enter this reconstructed family. The loneliness of grandma is the growth of two children. Illness is the "father and son" who fell to their legs as if hereditary. Death is a sudden arrival. Death is to be cut off The stoic decision of the relationship.

And the family is the one who cannot escape when these storms come. Those words that didn't get a chance to say it out loud don't mean a sad ending, but an emotional prelude.

Beyond the everyday extension, the thief seems unnecessary to them, perhaps just to characterize this particular family against society. The family is the core, and my favorite part is when Ando Sakura hugged the little girl tightly in her arms, almost wrapping her slender and weak whole.

This kind of package is the dream family.

In Hirokazu-eda's universe, the actors are shining stars. If Ikematsu Soryo and Takara Kengo's short appearances are unforgettable like meteors, then Ando Sakura is the kind of meteorite impact that is a bit aggressive and makes people's hearts collapse exponentially. Grandma Xilin, the tree who has been working together for a long time, is probably the soft moon that hangs all the time. Seeing that she had lost all her teeth, was struggling to eat oranges and couldn't bite the rice cake, this kind of natural aging in daily life is an additional sadness given by the passage of real time outside of different movies. I sincerely hope she shines forever.

After seeing the full version, please write well...

    Whoa whoa crying. You can't choose blood, you can choose family.

    It was Hirokazu Koreeda who mastered his own set of family dramas to perfection, and his emotional control was extremely precise before and after the reversal. Every time he watched it, he felt that it was the same old style, but every time he was moved. Among the good actors of all ages, Ando Sakura easily surpassed Sister Tao's eldest leading actress in the last few scenes.
