Woke up at six in the morning. Turn on the computer, and then watch Kikujiro's Summer: The Masterpiece of Takeshi Kitano, which I watched halfway through two days ago.

. . . It's a really heartwarming movie, and it's really good.

. . . The film tells the story of a bored and lonely child, Masao, who was accompanied and helped by his uncle Kijiro, his neighbor, to find his mother but failed. . . Although he didn't find his mother, Masao still spent a happy and unforgettable summer vacation under the care of Kijiro and many kind people.

. . . A lot of unexpected things happened along the way, both good and bad, which made people feel emotional.

. . . On the first day on the road, Kikujiro gambled all their travel expenses, and they all lost. Later, he bought the number that Zheng Nan said, won a lot of money, and then he gambled again and lost again. At night, Masao ran away and was sexually harassed by the perverted old man. Kikujiro appeared in time, taught the perverted man a lesson, and took his wallet. On the road, they spent the rest of the money staying in luxury hotels and swimming in swimming pools. Kikujiro couldn't swim, made a fool of himself, and spent all his money.

. . . Later, they could only walk, and the two took great pains to hitch a ride. Despite the setbacks, I met many kind-hearted and honest people who helped them along the way.
. . . The most impressive plot is this: they finally got on the car of a couple who were dating (before getting on the car, Kijiro didn't forget to use a stone to smash the big truck that had not promised them a ride). . . In the afternoon, the couple rested and played with Masao and Kikujiro. The women chatted with the men, and performed tossing oranges like a circus actor, and the oranges danced in the sky. . The man pretends to be a robot and breaks dances to make the man happy (that dance is really good). . . Amidst Kikujiro's complaints, everyone parted happily.

. . . In the rudimentary bus shelter, Kikujiro wrapped a passerby's three rice balls with oranges. He lied to Zhengnan that there were only two and gave them all to him, but he secretly ran outside the hut to eat. Accidentally, the rice balls rolled into the bushes. He pouted his butt to reach it, and stuck his head in the bushes. . Hahaha, so funny and cute.

. . . The two of them couldn't get a ride. Kikujiro wanted to pretend to be a blind man. The first time he told the driver that you had a safety talisman in your car, how did you say it was a new car? The driver said you were blind, how can you see? Drive away immediately. They were caught and failed to hitch a ride; the second time Kikujiro rammed around like a blind man and was directly knocked down by a whistling car. . . Later, the two finally got on the bus, and Kikujiro sighed, saying that it is better to take a ride directly. .

. . . When the two of them finally found the address of Zheng Nan's mother, they found that a strange family of three lived here, and the young mother was waving goodbye to her husband and daughter. . . Zheng Nan watched from a distance, turned around, and left. . .

. . . On the way back, in order to comfort the lost Masao, Kijiro went to grab the amulet given by the fat guy's girlfriend, and told Masao: This is the "Angel Bell", as long as it is shaken, the angel will appear. The man was slightly comforted. Together they built an "angel" out of sand on the beach. . . Later, the two walked to the carnival temple fair, and Kikujiro used the money from the fraud to buy goldfish and panda toys for Zhengnan.

. . . In the middle of the night, Masao was sitting under a terrifying tree, anxiously and persistently waiting for Kijiro. When he saw Kikujiro with blood on his face appearing in front of him, he was startled, and hurried to the pharmacy to knock on the closed door. . .

. . . In the daytime, in the cornfield by the roadside, Kikujiro steals corn, but he encounters a farmer brother who is also breaking corn and intends to sell it on the roadside. He proposes to take Masao to camp nearby. The fat and thin guys riding motorcycles, why did they meet together. . . Let's play together and try our best to make Zhengnan happy.

. . . There were no fish in the lake, so fishing was impossible. In order to comfort Masao, Kijiro asked the fat and thin guys to play bubble fish and octopus in the pond respectively.
. . . During the day, sitting at the table, Uncle Corn performed magic tricks for Zheng Nan, and asked him to put stones under the glass casually. . As a result, the stones magically turned into candy. . .
. . . In the middle of the night, an alien appeared in the field. He had long pointed ears, his entire head was white, and he was naked except for a shiny short skirt around his hips. . .
. . . While looking at the shining Big Dipper in the sky, listening to the legend of the Big Dipper narrated by Uncle Corn. Time passed slowly like this. .

. . . During the day, everyone played the traffic light game together. Kikujiro proposed to play naked traffic lights. Everyone took off their clothes and put them on the ground one by one. While the "police" in front turned around and counted one, two, three, the "passers-by" in the back unknowingly needed to be taken or not. Wear what you find on your body and maintain the pose of that moment. .

. . . No swing? it is good! Hang the rope on the big tree, grab the rope, like Tarzan the anthropomorphic ape, while swinging and shouting "Yo ho", "Clap!" The fat man fell into the mud puddle and was soaked all over, "Wow, it's too dirty!" Everyone shouted at the same time. run wild. . The fat man cried and got up and walked towards the crowd, not forgetting to take away the homemade tambourine. .

. . . These episodes are so ingrained in my mind, so fucking kawaii. All of this is to please a child, a lost, introverted, depressed child, to make him happy, to make him happy. . . These adults, these grown-up but caring, kind, and childlike people, you, like children, moved me.

. . . All in all, this is a good movie. Pure natural, childlike innocence, let us stay away from impetuous.
