"What do the two children call you? Mom? Mom?"
Shinyo lowered his head and thought about the life of He Shota and Yuri before, and he moved his hair from the right to the left, and then from the left to the right, and the glasses after the hair brushed over had already grown out. A few large teardrops.
"He だ ろ う ね (what is it)" Nobunyo cried and smiled bitterly.
"He だ ろ う ね" she repeated again.
Before writing this review, I declined any review of The Thief Family, a discussion. It is Hirokazu Kore-eda's films that focus on the specific details of life in a line drawing style. From these details, different people will see many different angles from them.
This is a group of unrelated people, is there love between them? Have. "If they love you, they'll hold you so tightly." As he spoke, he put Yuri's head next to his own, cheek to cheek. But when Shota was caught, did they rush to pack up to run away and abandon Shota? Too. As people at the bottom of society, they know very well that attracting the attention of the government means that the family will be forced to break up, which means that such a life will fall apart immediately. But they would still struggle, and I would kindly think that they ran away, at least trying to save a family so that the rest wouldn't lose their place.
However, there is always a limit to hard work, so Shinyo finally admitted that "we are not enough for Shoda", and Shibata had no choice but to say "Dad will return to become an uncle from today."
Fortunately, just as the cicada gradually crawled out of the chrysalis, Xiangtai and Yuri still gained irreplaceable love and growth from it. Shota, whose conscience had already been stimulated by the death of the owner of the small shop, deliberately attracted the attention of the clerk in order not to be caught by the clerk, who stole the goods and ran out. Even at the end, Shota, who likes to read, will tell Shibata about the purpose and classification of fishing rods. Dad, who was across the window, really wanted Shibata to hear it too. Even though Yuri was forced to return to his original family, he learned to reject the abuse of his mother wrapping them in new clothes, and the number he mentioned when he was playing in the corridor at the end was vaguely in his memory the total number of the thief family—six.
Compared to the Aki and Grandma lines, it seems that they are not so perfect. Grandma received the money, but she never used it, and every time she wrapped it up and kept it well. However, from the selective narrative of the police, Aki does not seem to notice this. Finally, the wooden door of the small house was opened. Is it to find the money left by grandma to confirm grandma's love? Or just remember this family that is full of deceit to her? Selfish hope is the former.
