Jiang Sida once mentioned in Qi Hua's talk that "all the affection between animals depends on blood, and the affection between human beings also has kindness and righteousness."

The kindness of the thief family is exactly like this. Six people who are not related by blood live in a dilapidated house. Each individual is a life outside the social survival law, but they are connected to each other because of the fetters of fate.

The rhythm of the whole movie is gentle and gentle, and the kindness we see outside the constraints of the code of conduct of ordinary people is abandoned, and we are willing to be together and dragged down. But in addition to this kind of cohesion, we can also see a subtle selfishness. After Shota entered the police station, Shibata hurriedly returned from the police station and the four planned to escape overnight, but failed. We have no way to convict such selfishness. Whether it is abandonment or reunion, in the artistic effect of the film, it will bring the beauty after the sublimation of human nature.

Reunion - is the standard answer of human nature, and the most straightforward and joyful choice in the complex emotional connection of human beings.

Abandonment is a flaw, and it is because of flaws that a higher level of kindness can be interpreted.

In most relationships, responsibility mostly comes from blood, and kindness is the higher protection between human beings. The person who finally bears the guilt may not be the greatest. The six people who stayed in the dilapidated house, guarding the satisfaction of a lower level than ordinary is a kind of small greatness; and the souls in distress save each other, loneliness and loneliness accompany each other, why two? Can't say thanks again? Because there is no tone, tone, or emotion that can interpret such a complex kind of love, they are indefinable and will eventually be precious.

There are many similarities between the thief family and the unknown. The lonely survival has been announced to the public, the sympathy has been harvested, and the truly hideous wounds have no one to heal. The vast love that society has given to human beings cannot save the weak souls, and the survival of the cracks Circumstances can redeem a stubborn will.

In this world, there is no firework that can last forever. It was the most splendid time in my life.

    No tears scenes. Of course, I also highly agree that it is Hirokazu Koreeda's brilliant technique of refining "human nature", as well as the sense of time and space that "gets to the point" that gets more and more obscured. But I must also admit that, for some reason, I personally have never been able to empathize in any of his works, and it seems that with age, the ability to empathize becomes weaker. So the more I envy the friends around me who can blend in and enjoy the universe. Going back to the thief, I think it is brilliant that this is not the gentle and hazy beauty of the East, but a vague area of ​​emotional morality for all human beings. After pulling away from the history of strangers' combination as home, the daily life of each other is rather emotional.

    The betrayal and injury of the original family, the consolation and fetters of meeting by chance, cannot be chosen by blood, and the little bit of light that they choose to run towards, which is almost hopeful, may bring about the illusion of happiness, but after all, it is false and cannot bring come to the rescue. The disintegration and reorganization of the home, the pain and struggle at the bottom of the quagmire are the culmination of Hirokazu Koreeda's theme and elements, so warm, yet so cruel and desperate.
