A very bland film. At first glance, I thought it was exposing the closed life of a middle-class small town in the United States, and it was strongly inserted into handsome men and women to fall in love to attract attention. Until the end of the film, Mitch's memorial service, because of the accidental widow, the mother, who seemed to be insane, danced the tap dance she had recently learned in the melodious MOON RIVER. When she spread her arms like a bird and began to dance, and the applause and cheers of relatives, enemies, rivals in love, those who failed to pursue, I burst into tears, I pressed the pause button, adjusted my emotions, and started again , but still couldn't restrain the inexplicable emotions that turned into raging tears, both moved and inspired. Then I realized that the protagonist of this film may be this mother who seems to be a supporting role. She has a certain American spirit in her: not willing to be tricked by fate, not afraid of being criticized, not afraid of starting a new life. After grasping these truths of life from the sudden death of her husband, she faced her former enemies, those who regarded herself as an enemy, with a new look and without shyness to take what she gained - not just the newly learned tap dance , as well as a strong and optimistic personality, and used his personality charm and deep love for her husband to resolve years of grievances.
This piece of MOON RIVER has also become my favorite (I don't have this feeling when watching "Breakfast at Tiffany's"), and after listening to different versions, I feel that the violin version in the film and the singing of Aoi Teshima version is the best.
