I have always had a very complicated feeling for Hirokazu-eda. His films are very unique, and the way of narration is different. But his films are hard to watch. The subject matter has always been a seemingly ordinary story. At the end of it, it is often chest tightness.
Hirokazu Kore-eda is like a documentary director, but he is more objective. He puts all the edges and corners of human nature naked in front of you. He doesn't judge whether it is good or bad. Feeling uncomfortable, like looking at myself in the mirror, without any halo. Psychology says that a life without self-deception is impossible to live, and it is Hirokazu Koreeda who is making people experience this nearly suffocating effect.
In this film, except for the grandmother and father Azhi, everyone's life is related to the family of origin. The film cuts in from the smallest, and the whole process from the beginning makes people deeply sigh the importance of the family of origin, but it is helpless to be uncontrollable. No one can choose their own birth. Reincarnation is a kind of knowledge, but it is not learned. I really sigh that although my parents are not excellent or rich, they are at least normal. If you really live in a Yuri family, you can’t choose whether to steal or rob, and you are so small and powerless, just like Yuri’s last expression, dazed, you may wonder why she was born, and I don’t know how With what kind of heart shadow to finish this life.
The older I get, the more I feel that my happiness is really the result of various coincidences. Of course, I have my own efforts, but sometimes efforts really can't change everything.
