"The Thief Family" is a group drama. There seems to be a scene that is considered to be relatively isolated from the whole family, that is, the hug scene between Matsuoka Moyu and Chimatsu Sou Ryo.
If you only see stills, you will be curious, who is Matsuoka hugging? Why did they meet and why were they crying.
In fact, these two characters hide a so-called pick-and-choice play that is related to the whole film. Matsuoka and Chisong are just code names between each other. They choose each other and have a weak relationship to transcend. It is not difficult to find that the character of Chi Song is an isolated and helpless existence. You can easily find that he hurt himself (close-up of his hand). This kind of injury will inevitably be backlashed and will inevitably retaliate against society and others. The relationship between this group of characters means that another person was picked up, even if the movie did not explain him later. At the same time, between them is the past and present of Lilly Frank and Sakura Ando. The seemingly idle details of the movie are not in essence as wasteful as some people describe.
In the final analysis, whether pornographic shows or marginal social people who generally exist in rubbish. It is Zhi Hirokazu who has not forgotten the greatness of love and kindness. As long as we can embrace each other and the family that surrounds us, we can always protect us.
It is Hirokazu Ke, an honest and gentle person.
He insisted on making "Non-stop" because it was a movie made for himself.
The producer is worried, "Isn't this the kind of movie that was made until the age of 60".
In other words, like Yamada Yoji, who is almost 90 years old, he is still pursuing the family suffering series.
The 45-year-old Yukazu Kee didn't think so much because he chose to be loyal to himself. Even if it was a movie about walking, even if it was a movie that was not destined to be seen by the three major excerpts (and as expected).
Facts have proved that this film, which did not hold up expectations from the box office to the awards, is the work of Hirokazu Kee, which is the most widely spread. The secret buried in Hengshan's house was not the crispy tempura in front of him, the "oil bottle" brought back by the second son, the old man took a photo with him and turned around and left.
It may be an exaggeration to describe the misfortune by using earthquakes and tsunami, but the distant seismic waves and invisible waves are still many years later, beating the summer when butterflies fly by and the sunken ship stranded on the shore.
Only by going back to this incident ten years ago, can we explain why Hirokazu Kee was able to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival with "The Thief Family". Rather than saying that the best picture is awarded to this film, it is to the film director who is grateful, excited and tearful on stage.
The connection between "The Thief Family" and Shiede Hiroshi and "The Universe" is far stronger than the gravitational attraction between it and the Cannes and Palme d'Or films. Different from Li Cangdong, who is holding back his big move, and Ceylon, who suddenly changed to tuberculosis, it is Hiroka Kee, or the original one. The one who talked with the family while eating sukiyaki was Hirokazu Ee.
If you dismantle all the stories and characters of "The Thief Family", you will find all the causal links from "Nobody Knows" to "The Third Time Murder".
The most conspicuous one must be Shilin, a professional family member of his mother. She seems to have really found a happy old man who doesn't need to walk around frequently, and "no need to say lines", a relaxed role. Of course this is a joke. She still contributed very important lines.
The scale scenes marked by Chinese journalists and film critics are actually several naked backs and erotic shows. Compared with the non-burnable garbage of "Air Puppet", there is no need to be surprised.
"The Thief Family" continues the theme of Separated and Broken Family by Hirokazu Ee. From Ozu Yasujiro to Yamada Yoji, the family they built and maintained was still traditional-married daughters and reluctant to give up their fathers, and three generations of grandparents lived in huts in Tokyo. But from the remarried woman in "Phantom Light" to the couple's divorce in "Deeper Than the Sea", Zhi Zhi found his own coordinates from the very beginning, facing the other side of Japanese society. When the family was no longer a complete family, he tried to reorganize the family so that members of the family, even those without blood relationship, could re-flower and bear fruit and flourish in the form of grafting.
The most typical example is "As Father as Son".
Masaharu Fukuyama's family is a perfect family envied by others. However, his obsession with perfection and being a good father caused him to put on another face. On the contrary, there is another family in the movie, loose, sloppy, and poor economic conditions, but the children enjoy their childhood to the fullest. Rather than saying that it is Zhi Yuhe who no longer misses the perfect family anymore, he wants to explore where the faith and strength that the family gives to others come from. How the love between father and son, mother and daughter was born.
As long as you look at it this way, you will understand that the key to "The Thief Family" is not the thief, but the family.
"The Thief Family" will trigger some people's similar blame on Ken Lodge's "I Am Black": In such a developed capitalist society, they still rely on petty theft and exploiting the wool of social resources for their livelihood. Unforgivable.
I understand the origin of criticism very well. In a country like China that promotes wolf nature and believes in black power for learning, if you don’t grasp everything that can change your situation, you will not only be left behind, but others will also be left behind. Kicked away fiercely, became a burden to the society, and was blinded.
Since when did people lose the possibility of sympathy and empathy? Perhaps such an indifferent voice will also be produced in Japan.
The highlight of "The Thief Family" is naturally related to what their family does for a living. Working hard, breaking his leg, being too capable, being fired, using pension as private money, or unwilling to steal for a living.
But I think the greater suspense lies in the secrets of this family. How did each of them get to the dilapidated hut. Except for the little girl who was taken in, the movie didn't want to speak out, nor did it flashback to explain. When tragedy and misfortune occur, the fate of those involved in it has to change. Just like that cool boy, he chose to walk into society without looking back.
In Shizhi's movies, there are very few real villains, sometimes none at all. Just like "The Thief Family" in the form of a group portrait, that family with constant domestic violence seems to have become the biggest stain. But it is our protagonist who bears the murder case. Ye Zhi doesn't think that the awe-inspiring society and system must be the opposite of this family. In fact, from the convenience store owner to the afterthought, this is still a well-meaning story.
Hou Xiaoxian once meant to be regarded as the father of the spirit of the film by Zhi Yuhe, but Zhi Yuhe's relationship with China and Chinese-language films, which perfectly explains why his films can always attract more audiences without any obstacles. . Japan is not isolated, and film is an Esperanto.
If "Haijie Diary" represents a dreamy and ideal family, the close-to-life photography of "Non-stop" and the image of a mother are indeed due to her unresolved hatred. The characters are more flesh and blood, real, fresh and complete.
After all, people are not simply divided into good and bad. There is no good person who lives in peace, but there is no sordid and cruel world that is sinister and embarrassed.
In fact, if the filming of "Non-stop" hadn't started ("Non-Stop" to "The Thief Family" is a complete ten years of creation), it was Hirokazu Kee who wanted to try a biopic about the legendary singer Li Xianglan.
Li Xianglan, who has deep feelings for China, used her singing voice to successfully get the recognition of the Chinese and Japanese people. However, she is a Japanese. Her dual identity, the sense of identity that is dictated by the times, happens to be the subject that Zhi Yuhe is most interested in. It is not difficult to find that no matter which family story pretends to be, "born in a young son" or "in the name of the father" is what Zhi most wants to express, which is the complexity of emotions and unspeakable identification. This kind of recognition surpassed the deceased, overshadowed the loser, and even no longer stuck to the fact that he was a Japanese. It moved the Cannes judges and would be accepted by the Chinese audience.
It is Zhi Yuhe's father, born and raised in southern Taiwan, and later went to Northeast China. After World War II, he was thrown into labor in Siberia. Shizhi said frankly that he prefers his mother, while his father is somewhat down and out of action. But what he did in the movie was to constantly try to understand his father, or where his role in life came from.
In "The Thief Family", I still can't remember Nakagawa Masaya, and the name that the family changed (with various aliases), but in the end, what he wanted was something that was never realized." "Father" dream-even if I can teach you, there is only this.
You know what life is all about, but you are always a step slower.
