We have nothing and dare not mention love

The movie was well done, but the poster text that "we have nothing but love" is a bit of a chicken soup...

Those who "find a new man to murder their own husband", those who were "became a mistress", those who "divorced their parents and have a new family do not fit in", and those who were "abandoned and don't remember their parents at all" and "victims of domestic violence" have actually changed their personality. It is deformed (there is no ambiguity in this word), these "intolerable" lives meet but have abnormal tolerance.

However, there is no antidote for anyone, and there is no so-called original puzzle that can fully combine everyone. Such a relationship still can't make up for the gap in everyone's true heart, and such a gap will follow them through their lives.

Maybe the movie is not trying to teach you anything, it just unfolds the sadness and powerlessness of some people. Such powerlessness is too frequent in our daily vitality, and every emotional injury will make us uncontrollably more sensitive. These are really not good. Can't say bad.

I have never believed in the word love. I think it is purely a human fabrication. The so-called love may just make up for the incomplete selfishness.

    The film festival gave 4 stars, and Dianying 2 changed to 5 stars. The deletion only affects the mood, not the plot. This is a movie that looks warm and desperate. Six people, including all stages of life, the little girl may be their past, and the grandmother may be their future. Do you think the world will be better? No one knows about these people from birth to death; Temporary family members form fetters to warm each other; the true relatives live in lies and do not listen to them. It's such a cycle of "Although there is love in the stranger, all loved ones are harmed" that makes you extremely chilling.

    This is the social perspective that Hirokazu Kore-eda is best at. There is a long visual fire in the humorous and calmness, and the aftertaste ignites brightly, illuminating every detail in the film, shining into the most delicate part of the human heart. Cold society dark disease. It can't be calm for a long time, complexity and innocence go hand in hand, beauty and ugliness coexist. It's really "seeing," the most captivating moment of the cinematic eye.
