it turns out that Kijiro is the uncle, it turns out that the uncle is Kitano Takeshi, it turns out that summer can be so crazy, it turns out that strangers can be so warm, it turns out that hooligans can play like this. . .
A group of adults surrounds a child, amusing him, playing with him, all kinds of tricks, the most pitiful one is Mr. Bald, who is always forced to be naked on camera, and Mr. Heavy. This is the memory of Zheng Nan's childhood in a summer, and it is also the childhood-like memory of this group of adults in a summer.
Wordsworth said, "Growing up is the process by which a childhood father gives birth to an adult child," and I think it applies here. The uncle made up a fairy tale about the angel's bell for Zhengnan. At night, Mr. bald dressed as an alien and waited hard in the field. Mr. good disguised as an octopus. Uncle Kikujiro escorted him all the way.
Whenever the piano music played by Joe Hisaishi was played, he quietly watched the two guys working hard to move forward, and a feeling of emotion flowed out from the bottom of my heart. Seemingly indifferent and dismissive, in fact, the uncle also has a serious attitude: when he was resting at the "bus stop" that night, the uncle looked at the man who was sleeping beside him, and I suddenly realized that this man also has his own independent inner world. Maybe the stupidity he just appeared on was regarded as useless, ignorant, and confused, but who knows? Maybe he just doesn't want to say it, and is the smartest (otherwise, how could he come up with so many interesting ideas?) and the bravest (he doesn't flinch when he encounters a boss at the carnival, just like a big man). I can see that he is indeed a brave man in life.
Does Zheng Nan have to find his mother? No answer is given in the movie. My mother became someone else's mother. Although the result is sad, the experience along the way is the most precious. Getting to know these pure and friendly big friends, all kinds of people, maybe just pass by, but all that is left are the good side. Only by being good can you do good. Maybe Kitano Takeshi wants to tell us the truth of "human nature is inherently good". Marcus Aurelius mentioned in "Meditations": "The source of goodness is in the heart, if you dig it, it will gush out." The tacit glance and smile between strangers in life, simple It's a kind of good atmosphere.
In the end, I thought Kijiro was the name of a little boy, but when I saw the uncle at the end of the film being asked by Masao, "Sir, what's your name?" I only heard him shout with a smile: "Kiujiro, fuck, get out!" He is actually the protagonist of this summer!
Uncle was in a daze, standing there foolishly watching Zhengnan run away, so it was imprinted in his mind...
