Everyone has a song they listen to in secret

The film recommended by Sister L a few days ago, today, taking advantage of the quiet and sunny weekend mood, I followed the camera to read an ordinary Japanese family, a complete day and night.

After reading the reviews a little, I found that "Yi Yi", Ozu and Hou Hsiao-Hsien are often mentioned. This is the work of Hirokazu Koreeda or the first contact. In recent years, I have started to get tired of many similar so-called Japanese literary films, but this "歩いても歩いても" is definitely refreshing. With the growth of age, I gradually become less enthusiastic about philosophical films, and it may be that I lack the opportunity to calm down and appreciate it. Instead, I like more and more people who have a sense of mastery to shoot household chores. "Yi Yi" is my favorite Chinese film, I think it's talking about a lifetime; this film is similar in feel, but it condenses the expression into 24 hours.

During the process of watching the whole film, my eyes are often wet, but there will be no tears dripping. I am moved by such a rhythm and strength, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"If you keep walking, you will always be one step behind." Facts and expectations that cannot be completely matched are inevitable experiences for most people, but the saddest part may be the thread of life and death. As a child, every time I think about it, I can't help but feel chills.

The song that grandma hummedVery tasteful, this mean-spirited and cruel old woman is, in my opinion, the most complex character. The phrase "If you can't hate someone, you'll feel worse" struck me.

The seemingly stubborn grandfather is actually "strong on the outside and hard at work". Compared with his wife, his heart should be much simpler, and he is often quite cute. The seemingly serious old man, because of that record, also revealed a suspected cheating.

The little boy, like Yang Yang, has a precocious puberty that should not belong to this age, but it is not annoying.

I really like the OSTs of Japanese movies. Is this really so difficult for our domestic directors to do? The simple and clean guitar sound is most suitable for the light plot in this hot scene.

Because I just finished reading "The Four Seasons of Japan", many details of the customs and customs were brought into the scene, and I really found a lot of cuteness in Japanese homes.

In addition, it is impossible not to pay attention to the steps that appear many times, the reciprocation of up and down, which makes people sigh and think about their own life.

    A small but peaceful family, each member has their own concerns, it is Hirokazu Koreeda's grasp of family affection and life and death is perfect. The fixed shot, the taste is as light as tea, the cycle goes on and on, and occasionally the dead soul turns into a butterfly, but in the end it is a slightly bitter life. The tiles in the bathroom have been damaged all the year round, the names of the sumo wrestlers can't be remembered for a while, and the car in the advertisement has not been bought until the end... The camera shot through the increasingly unfamiliar town, the eyes were wet, this is life.

    The opening cut-in point was well chosen. It was selected at the stall where the mother and daughter were preparing for lunch, and the close-up shot was cut directly. The camera also made a zoom conversion. When she refused, the mother guessed the result without looking back. The confident self-confidence she showed was really like the result of living together for decades. Father walking to the seaside road to stop is a foreshadowing planted by the director.
