The film tells the story of Zhengnan, who lives with his mother-in-law during the summer vacation of elementary school, but unlike other classmates, he can go to the beach with his family to play, because Zhengnan's father died in a car accident a long time ago, and since he can remember, Zhengnan has never seen him. The mother who worked and earned money from afar. One day, when Masao was at home alone, he received a package from his mother with a photo of his mother and an address in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture. So Masao wanted to go to Toyohashi City to find his mother. However, a child who is not very talkative and does not move around in elementary school can't travel alone, and happens to meet a kind-hearted neighbor aunt and her husband who looks like a gangster (if there is one word to describe this uncle, That's "cute". Haha, you'll know when you see it). After learning that Zhengnan wanted to find his mother, the kind aunt asked the fierce uncle to take Zhengnan Toyohashi City. Along the way, I met all kinds of people, and there were many interesting things that made people laugh.
It wasn't until the end of the film, before the two parted, that Zheng Nan asked the uncle's name, and the uncle said in his usual cursing tone, "It's Kijiro! Hachiyaru"... I suddenly realized that the uncle was Kikujiro! And at the beginning, I didn't know what Kitano Takeshi wanted to express. It couldn't be such a ridiculous and funny movie, right? And this question mark came to the fore at this moment, and I couldn't help sighing: So it is!
Last time on June 1st, I was throwing sandbags on Mount Yuelu with a group of my peers, and a bunch of adults in the central square of the pedestrian street were playing rubber bands... That's not the same as the uncles in the video, just looking for an excuse , let yourself go back to childhood. Regrettably, although the sky is still the same blue sky at that time, and the tree is still the crooked-neck tree at that time, people can no longer return to the simple, innocent, and carefree state of mind at that time.
"It's just a group of boring and lonely adults who use the children as an excuse to play by themselves." Kitano Takeshi said.
