the girl inside

Looking at Taeko, I remembered myself in elementary school. I happened to have 2 older sisters, and also had a dirty and disliked male roommate. The scene where Taeko was beaten is also a very familiar scene. I really want to go, and I have to wait for someone to persuade me to persuade me. I really understand the feeling of suffering to save face. In fact, when I was a child, my emotions were super sensitive and rich, and quarreling with my sister could make me so angry that I vomited blood. At that time, I was always waiting for the summer vacation to pass, waiting for my aunt to come, and waiting to pass by the door of the boy's class inadvertently. But the difference between me and Taeko is that I know that deep down I have a sense of arrogance towards the countryside. Even if every time I put on a feeling of a Mori girl who loves nature, the expression of disgust came out immediately when I got to the field. This look is so pretentious! I miss my grandfather so much~
PS: This film is to reminisce about Japanese life in the 1960s. . . In the 1960s, there was TV, I could listen to country music, I disliked milk and used the phrases like living in a hot water in other countries, and I was able to think about the industrialization of cities, which is really good!
