It was the scene in the kitchen that made me cry.
It is Hirokazu-eda's works that always flow with warmth. Infiltrated in a meal and a tea, in the broken thoughts of relatives, in the long light and shadow. I asked myself over and over what I received in discrete and seemingly unorganized plots? This is the reason why I am baffled and read again and again.
Finally, I found it and received warmth!
In the movie, the surface is slightly bitter, and everyone has their own things in their hearts, but together they fry tempura in the kitchen, rub corn beans, eat together, and clean up together... It seems nothing special, but it is just pleasant.
Especially through the role of "grandma" in the film. Like many male characters in Oriental families, Grandpa is relatively silent and likes to take Na Na Qiao. The relationship between father and son seems to be tense. Grandma is the link that connects the family, the core of family affection. The grandma's house in the film does not have a gorgeous house, and the tiles in the bathroom are not in good condition, so it does not belong to the elite class. She can cook the meals that her children like. The film carefully recorded the process of their tacos together. At one point, she felt like she was watching "A Bite of China". Did you see a movie? ! What's particularly touching is that even though ordinary meals have been cooked for a lifetime, grandma still cooks them with joy, and the kitchen is filled with joy. It's not easy to tell the truth! Because the food is made in this way, it will have a special taste and smell. Every year, I invite my son's friends to worship. This sense of ceremony makes my grandmother feel that the eldest son is still at home. Even if things went bad outside, the other son didn't dare to go home.
Interestingly, she also occasionally showed a mean side. When facing each other, everyone seemed to have no problem with the fact that their son and daughter-in-law were married for a second time. Relentless disdain for this. This is a person, especially in East Asian culture, there are often two faces in front and behind, and the one who is mean to women is often more of a woman. So on the way back to her city, her daughter-in-law seemed to inadvertently sighed, "They probably don't like me very much."
I feel that the relationship between grandma and grandpa is normal. After sending off the son, the backs of the two of them go home together. Like many people's marriages in life, although they grow old together and take care of each other in life, they are not necessarily so caring.
The content of the movie is as simple as that, the details of life, especially the scene where they cook together, will evoke my memory of my grandmother who is already in heaven, and I remember choosing dishes with her. The reason for the treatment... These daily, beautiful and warm memories of these broken thoughts are now only recollected in memory.
Life is always too late. Before we know how to cherish it, time has passed quietly.
Only treat every moment and every day with a good heart. No matter how ordinary the day is, be kind and keep the warmth of that moment. When countless times like this are accumulated, when encountering wind and rain, you can wake up the warmth you once had and help resist the wind and cold. When you look back at the end of your life, you can also tell yourself that it doesn't matter if you don't have a vigor and vigor, you have saved so many warm moments for yourself, how precious, and you have lived up to the time.
Leave the feeling of this moment and remind yourself!
