Feel
- Although the whole seems ridiculous and absurd, it reveals a trace of sadness from the drama. When Masao's mother came out of the house, followed by her new husband and children, Kijiro dodged back and ran away in embarrassment, and Masao also turned his head and ran away, the feeling was really sad. In general, the film is entirely from a child's perspective, which seems illogical but hides the child's way of thinking behind it. "There can't be fish here! Then you can be a fish!" There are many places like this. After the climax of seeing my mother, the film did not do any ups and downs, but chose to let a group of adults accompany Zheng Nan to play all kinds of ordinary and even absurd mini-games, but this is also more prominent. Childlike. The game "One, Two, Three, Traffic Lights" is exactly the same game that my eight-year-old sister used to play downstairs, even their movements were similar, and they had a lot of fun. This kind of childlike game relieved Zheng Nan's troubles in the movie, and at the same time dispelled the vague sadness and tragedy behind the movie, and also relaxed my heart, which is indeed the highlight of the movie.
- Throughout the whole film, I always thought that "Kiujiro" refers to Masao, and "Summer of Kikujiro" refers to a strange summer vacation spent by Masao and his uncle. But at the end of the film, when Masao asked the uncle's name, and the uncle replied "Kiujiro! Idiot", I suddenly realized. After careful consideration, this may also be a point that Kitano Takeshi deliberately set. And behind this is some information, a child's perspective, an adult's movie. This may be a movie in which Takeshi Kitano expresses childlike interest and his childhood through adult movies! After fooling the audience for a whole movie, he laughed and said, "This is about me! Idiot".
- The same BGM can play a different role in a variety of different situations, giving me different feelings, I admire it!
