At the beginning of the film, I see my mother taking Amin to visit the landlord. The first impression is that this mother is also a child. On the contrary, Amin is as "sensible" as she introduced. When I saw the child crawling out of the suitcase, I was a little cute, two innocent smiling faces, and the appearance of one child, from laughter to quiet, it can be known that it has experienced more than one migration. Looking at their familiarity with the rules, a lot of distress emerged in their hearts, and they secretly hoped that they would always be happy to accompany them.
However, the single mother's love for her children and the so-called happiness she wanted to pursue had a great collision. With four children, she wanted someone to share the burden. Slowly, she began to work with the four children. The disappearance of the world is also her choice for the future. She has love for the four children, and will play with them and watch them do math problems. After the first escape, she became familiar with and fell in love with the short-term escape, escaping the life of the four children who were taken care of, so she staged the second stage. permanent departure. The eldest daughter is the most sensitive to her mother's departure, but when Amin wants to sell her mother's things later, she can't let it go. She knows that she will not come back, but her mother is like a dream that she can keep. The same, even if it's broken, I don't want to throw it away.
A large part of the film is devoted to the scene of Amin buying things for their four children. Just like ordinary life, he has to buy food every day and pay various living expenses. Amin is actually a child who doesn't talk much. Although he is forced to take on the family, he still longs for pure happiness. Longing for friends, longing to run and sweat on the court like other boys, buy food and go home as usual after playing, he is the only child who can come and go freely. I buy everything in the same supermarket, read comics like many children, and pay with a long lady's wallet from my mother who doesn't deserve it. From not agreeing to the bad friend's instigation to steal things to the nervousness in order to steal instant noodles for his younger brother, he is sweating and life is helpless.
In this way, they lived without money, electricity and water. The four of them could still play in the park. Happy laughter drove away all kinds of unhappiness. Amin also met a real friend, a girl who was also lonely. The hidden life of the four children gave the girl a great shock. In order to help them make money, she took the initiative to sing with a wretched uncle, but Amin did not accept such money. Although Amin has never gone to school, he has extreme principles and courtesy. Under such a mask, he is really caring for his younger brothers and sisters, and he is extraordinarily pure when running on the court.
On the day of tragedy, the flower pots also shattered, heralding quarrels and unhappiness. The cute little girl died, and the little girl who stepped on the cute little shoes that made noises, played with plush toys, and liked to draw died. My mother's phone still hasn't been connected. I don't know if my mother's memories of the fathers of these four children are true. This time, the dead girl finally saw Haneda Airport in the suitcase she had come with. See the plane fly by. Amin was driving home from the airport when a song played, the lyrics were too appropriate, and I started to cry. They are black rivers abandoned by the sea and unknown.
It's Hirokazu Kore-eda's films that make it hard to suppress the inner turmoil every time. Simple fragments of life, simple smiling faces of children, those too soft lights, he is telling about life, those lives that no one knows about. He didn't condemn his mother's actions in the film, he just told it so calmly, as if everything happened naturally like this, that's the fact. The film ends at the happy backs of the children, who can't help but want to care about their future. Their lives are like the seeds of wild flowers, covered with soil, they can grow as long as they are watered, whether the angels look back or not.
