After reading "The Summer of Kikujiro" in a lonely mood at this time, I cried a few times as usual. O strange, beautiful and kind people they meet on the road! Why are they separated in the end, why can't these strange, strange, anachronistic and wonderfully tender creatures, abandoned by the world and roaming ghostly on the edge of the world, live together forever? They built their own kingdom of heaven in the fields of that summer, and the kingdom of heaven was so short that they finally parted with a smile. And isn't this trip also a redemption and purification of "Mr."? "Sir" seems to be an indiscriminate and unreasonable ruffian, but on the more real side, he is just a lack of maternal love - but because of this, he is more sensitive to love, and more empathetic to the loneliness and misfortune of others, he said silently: "It turns out that he is just like me..." The child who is not growing up, the lack of love - maternal love, human care - makes him behave grotesquely, covertly with no sense and etiquette, and rampage in the world recklessly , but everything he did for Zheng Nan and the time he spent with Zheng Nan gave Zheng Nan the memory of his true love. That strange (and therefore pure, and therefore free from worldly pollution) beauty is something that the world cannot give. Those loves are given to Zheng Nan. , and to himself—the games, the cares, and the time are compensation for the love of two lonely children. I undoubtedly see my own shadow in "Mr.", and "Zhengnan" is just like himself, lonely, quiet and closed. Mr. and Zhengnan are also shadows of each other, they are just two lonely children who see themselves in each other. And at the most hilarious and sad ending, we know that "Mr." is Kijiro, the protagonist of the story - but the whole story is told from the perspective of a boy, with his experience as the background and cause Yes! Because Kijiro is also Masao, these are just two different selves who met at the same time - also the audience himself, and myself; also because this is an adult fairy tale, including the cruelty, bitterness and helplessness of the adult world - but it is still a fairy tale , the two children lead each other to a beautiful situation that does not violate reality - this kind of beauty is still sad. It turns out that Kitano Takeshi is Kikujiro, which also implies a master's self-discipline. This is a story of looking for a mother. Two children found their mother, but not their family. When they saw their mothers, they saw a lost world away from them, gentle, ancient and beautiful, just like The way the world was supposed to be - and finally, they found it in each other - also built it. There are also those playmates with them, they are also elves who have fallen into a helpless world... I cry, I feel good, and I bless them and all the lonely children, but I also feel inexplicable sadness, a cavity that Fu will hold Ai Sanran included
