I really like this film, it tells about some problems between an ordinary family, very real problems, through the present to cause the pain of the past.
Why do you say it's about grandpa's "redemption"?
At the beginning of the film, Grandpa seemed out of place, but we found that Grandpa always walked "downhill", going down the stairs, and going down the stairs all the time.
And later, gave a picture of a flyover.
From the later plot, we can know that grandpa's eldest son once died in this sea. After the death of the eldest son, grandpa kept going downhill again. This flyover has always been a knot in grandpa's insurmountable heart. When I saw this, I knew that at the end of the movie, Grandpa would definitely walk over this flyover and come to that beach, just like in Lion Boy, we knew from the beginning that the protagonist, Juan, must go to Optimus Prime in the end.
It was Hirokazu Koreeda who was really good at photographing children, and he grasped the nature of children very well, like a grandson snickering while pointing at a fat man's socks, including the children's every move, which was extremely rich.
Grandma said that the fat man kept saying sorry and sorry like a comedian, it was really funny hahaha.
In fact, the grandmother never forgot the dead eldest son. Her heart knot is no less than that of her grandfather.
There is a section where the camera stops on this photo for a close-up, and then the character walks through the glass and the room, but the focus stays on the frame, everyone forgets it, only grandma remembers, take it It came out, and my grandfather was not happy about it.
The psychological description of the film is particularly in place. When grandpa received a call for help, he was outdoors and captured the disappointment of grandpa being ignored by the rescue workers. I deeply felt the disappointment in his heart. What, the back waves push the front waves, or the feelings of old age, or maybe people are ignored, I think they are all right
There is also the very subtle embarrassment and sometimes overwhelm of reorganizing a family. This is difficult, because it is not a line that can not be interpreted by a picture, it depends on the actor's gestures and the director's shooting The angle, where the camera starts, and the tone of voice and subtle expressions when speaking give the audience an intuitive feeling. In this respect, Hirokazu Kore-eda is textbook-level.
At the end of the film, it is the reconciliation of father and son, and also the success of grandfather's "redemption".
Grandpa finally crossed the overpass, the obsession that had been in his heart for several years, and came to the seaside, where the eldest son was killed, his heart seemed to let go at this moment!
Otherwise, Zhi's camera language is very rich. At the end of the film, Grandpa also began to go uphill. His "redemption" was successful, and he also let go of the obsession in his heart, and he was no longer an out of place old man.
The last thing I want to talk about is the role of the son. I want to show that my son is not in line with this family. The exaggeration is how to reflect the incompatibility. height. The son is too tall and keeps his head down at home, which also means that he is out of tune with this family.
From the family of thieves - Haijie Diary - walking non-stop, it is Hirokazu Koreeda who is always so gentle, delicate and not pretentious.
