Since my grandfather was hospitalized recently, my mother also had several consultations, so I felt a lot when I watched this film.
To take on the unhappy things in life. Elderly parents go to distant Tokyo to visit their younger generation while their legs are still able to walk. The eldest son and the eldest daughter were busy with their work and could not take their parents to visit Tokyo. Afterwards, they discussed that the two would pool money to send their parents to the popular Atami. I never thought about whether Atami is suitable for the elderly. That place is actually a place for young people nowadays, playing all-night mahjong? Drinking, chatting, singing, the middle of the night, the old man couldn't sleep. The next day, when the old man was sitting by the sea, his father said to his wife, "This is where young people come. I couldn't sleep last night, but you were snoring!" sounded. In contrast to reality, the old couple should have complained all the time, but not in the film.
Returning to her daughter's home from Atami, her daughter complained very much to her parents who had planned to return early for the apprenticeship that night. The parents had to pack their bags and wandered a few places, thinking about the kindness of Noriko, out of frustration, they could only let their mother stay there for one night, and the father decided to go to Mr. Hattori, a comrade-in-arms. , the upstairs was rented to students to live, and finally Mr. Hattori suggested that the two find another comrade-in-arms for a hangover. When the three old men felt that they were lonely and old with children and no children, the mother spent the night in peace at Noriko's residence. At this point in the plot, while watching the movie, I have already accumulated complaints and complaints, and I can't bear to see the smiles on the faces of my parents. It is because I think that it is not easy for children to work hard in the city for a living, so I always smile.
Until the chapter of mother's death, the words Kyoko said made me feel at ease, "Outsiders still have feelings, flesh and blood should not be like this, ... they are too selfish ... this world is disheartening". These words were said by Jingzi to Noriko. She thanked her sister-in-law for taking care of her parents when they were in Tokyo, and thanked her for her kindness, so she could only express the complaints in her heart. After Kiko heard it, she still used a gentle tone and smiled to persuade Jingzi, "When children grow up, they will gradually move away from their parents... They have their own lives, not because they have bad intentions. They put their own lives first... Individuals gradually become like that." I wonder if these words are the hidden words in the smiles of the parents. The line "We are also happy" appeared in the film. There are too many unsatisfactory things in life, but after taking on it, is life better? On the morning of my mother's death, my father saw the sunrise, ah, what a beautiful sunrise, it will be very hot today! Although people have gone, our life is still going on, the sun is still rising in the east and setting in the west, and the summer is still hot, but we have to endure all of these!
When I think about the daily chores at home and the chores at work, everything becomes lighter.
