What did Kijiro give the child


"Kiujiro's Summer" Takeshi Kitano

watched "Kiujiro's Summer" by Takeshi Kitano.
This is a story about an uncle. Kikujiro is a "まるでだめなオジちゃん", referred to as Madao, but he can do something with his rogue temperament and rogue means, and can also scare off young gangsters, but despite this, he is still an uncle Madao, and basically has no job, except to play There is nothing else to do, even if I play, there is no level of play, just like many uncles hanging around in the window of pornography, hanging out on the street, betting on bicycles at the racetrack (isn't it betting on horses / Why doesn't Kikujiro not What about hitting small steel balls? Isn't Madao generally hitting small steel balls? It's because Kijiro doesn't have the patience and intelligence to calm down and hit small steel balls.) A complete fool, lazy and rascal. But Uncle Kijiro is not such a person. Because we didn't know his name was Kijiro until the end. Was the former rogue uncle Kikujiro? isn't it? In any case, the film is over, and now, he has become Kikujiro through and through.

Just like Zhengnan, when we were young, we had such a lonely experience to some extent. After school, we ate the food on the table by ourselves in silence. During the summer vacation, we went to the playground to play football when our friends were not at home. When asked, "Why don't you go to the beach in summer vacation? The beach is very interesting", I said goodbye to my classmates who were going on vacation with the whole family, came home alone, woke up alone in the morning, and did homework alone in the room until I sat alone in a daze .
It shouldn't come too early for the experience of being alone. Facing boredom, loneliness, and loneliness alone is too unbearable for a child. Zhengnan's family situation is not owned by ordinary families, but as a child, Zhengnan is the epitome of many children of that age, some of which are few, some are extreme. Children's reactions to the world are supposed to be positive, but in fact many of these factors destroy the child's psyche to varying degrees. For children, this is not complex thinking, but a simple reaction mechanism. How can a child cultivate a healthy mind by himself when he cannot restrain his actions and thoughts? So this kind of indifference and loneliness is sometimes more terrifying and longer than scolding and violence.

We are accustomed to treating the healthy growth of children as a social issue. In fact, before it is a social problem, is it not the growth problem of every specific and realistic child! Why is it not a humanitarian issue for each individual?

Kijiro, in his own way, together with many good-hearted people on the journey, gave Masao a dream-like summer, and gave Masao a fantastic summer that no other child whose parents accompany him on vacation has ever had. For Masao, the most wonderful summer . In the future, Zheng Nan will definitely still miss his mother, but he will no longer be gloomy and autistic because of missing his mother. This summer, he opened the door of Zheng Nan's soul.
If the story revolves around Masahiro, why not call it "Summer of Masahiro", or many people think that the little boy is called Kikujiro at the beginning, but it is called "Summer of Kikujiro". In other words, this summer not only belongs to Masao, but also belongs to Kikujiro, and it is also a very exciting and important summer for Uncle Kijiro. This child, who has the same family environment as him, allows him to redeem himself when he redeems others. In the future, Kikujiro may still be a rogue uncle, but he has blossomed his soul and found what belongs to him. This is a simple truth of giving and gaining at the same time. The bell of the angel given by Kikujiro was shaking in Masao's hand. Masao could not see the angel coming, but in fact, Kikujiro was the most beautiful and magical angel in that summer.
