Text/Manjia recently watched several movies by Hirokazu Koreeda, that is, click on one of them at will, and the others are related to the TV. After watching one of them, I liked it, and I watched the related ones in one go. So many fates in life are actually accidental. "Nobody Knows" is a story about four children. A single mother lives in an apartment with four children of different fathers. The children have no hukou and do not go to school. The eldest brother is 12 years old, the younger sister is 10 years old, the younger brother is 5 years old and the younger sister is 3 years old. Because many landlords do not accept tenants with many children, the children will probably be very noisy, so except for the elder brother who came in with his mother, the two younger children were quietly checked in from the suitcase. The older girl Sneaked in at night. In order not to be discovered, the mother and the younger children agreed not to leave the house for a single step. This is how the story started. The young mother would come back after get off work every day, and she would also buy some delicious food and bring some gifts for her children. When she came home, the children were full of joy. On the surface, this was also fun. family. But one day my mother didn't come home suddenly, and only left a little money and a letter for my brother to take care of a few younger siblings. The elder brother figured out how to save money to support a few younger siblings, but time has passed, money spent It's gone, her mother hasn't come back, and she can't be contacted at all. After a long time, she only left a message saying that her brother should continue to take care of his younger siblings. Because they are not yet young to work, the family of little brothers and sisters without any source is in embarrassment. Without the care of their mothers, several immature children quickly become dirty and sloppy children, unable to go out later, the house is full of garbage and smelly It can't smell, not only there is no food to eat, but even the water and electricity have been cut off because of lack of payment in the room. They have to go out to the park to use water to solve basic problems. An undisciplined homeless child. Unsurprisingly, an unexpected misfortune happened to this small family. The little sister stumbled and fell to her death. The elder brother packed her in a suitcase that was dragged into the room and buried her in the suburbs. When the final music played, I was literally in tears. I have to say that this 12-year-old boy has assumed the responsibility of an adult from the beginning. The maturity and rationality of the whole process made people feel distressed. For a short period of time, because he wanted to make friends and play games with a few street gangsters, he was worried for him, and all the other times he was figuring out how to make his younger brothers and sisters. They had something to eat and live, and it was only then that they felt that such an old child should be sheltered by their parents, but they had to restrain their own nature. forced to become an adult. The other children are also distressingly mature. Of course, the protagonist won the Cannes Best Actor because of this role, becoming the youngest actor in history. Although this story is adapted from a real abandoned baby incident, the reality is far more cruel than the movie. The mother also abandoned the children to seek joy and left these children to fend for themselves. In reality, because the children's minds are too immature, in fact, the brothers and sisters get along far less than they seem to be so warm, mutual and friendly in the movie. It is incredible that the children in the movie are so sensible and quiet. From a certain point of view, it is indeed very good for the movie to show the human beings Guan Hui. This is also the value of art. We know that reality may not be so beautiful, but we hope that reality will survive in difficult situations. with some good ones. "Haijie Diary" tells the story of three sisters + little sister. When the three sisters were young, their father had an affair and eloped, and their mother also left a few children to their grandmother because of sadness and other reasons, and then ran away from home. The eldest sister has taken on the story of raising two younger sisters since high school, taking care of her family and her younger sister like a mother. , and later received the notice of his father's funeral, and at the same time, they met the mother (the object of his father's affair) who had already passed away, and their half-sisters in high school. Because of their blood relationship, they decided to She was taken in, so the four girls lived together. In a big house in a quiet seaside city, four sisters with different personalities live together. The older sister is in her early thirties. She has a quiet and strong temperament, and has a strong sense of responsibility. She takes on the responsibility of the mother in the family. The girl who feeds on love, revolves in a failed love again and again and fails again and again; the third sister is a careless girl, carefree, looks a bit strange in taste, but basically very simple. The little sister, because she only intervened in the family later, was cautious at the beginning, and then gradually opened her heart in the friendship among the sisters, and began to truly integrate into the circle of the sisters. The four girls inside are of different ages and personalities, and they all look beautiful, especially the little sister is so cute and beautiful that it makes people feel distressed, she is simply a little angel. A lot of the space in it is between the eldest sister and the youngest sister, because from the beginning, this sister's background is embarrassing for the family, and the oldest sister can only understand this kind of pain first, they How can we cross such a gap and achieve understanding? There are indeed some clues buried in it. The identity of each person on the surface does not fully represent all the emotions in her heart. When the children grow up, they will go from What I have experienced in myself, I understand the complexity of the emotions of men and women, and the emotions of marriage, not only the content of morality and responsibility can be fully interpreted. The most special thing in this movie is that there are several funerals, which also let us know a lot about Japanese funerals. Japanese funerals are very solemn and solemn, and the deceased is very respectful, no matter what his identity was during his lifetime, In short, the solemn whole scene makes people feel a lot of admiration. At the same time, praise is like the beginning of another level of one's life, as Haruki Murakami said, "death In "Nobody Knows", although the process is very distressed and the ending is very tragic, there are many beautiful brother and sister relationships in it, which is also an idealistic expression compared with reality. The sisterhood in "Haijie Diary" is really enviable. The four sisters are four flowers, happy and harmonious. In fact, it is like the utopian society of unmarried women, and it will be very beautiful and unreal. The insipid relationship between divorced couples in "Deeper than the Sea", not the kind of husband and wife or enemies, and even the relationship where the daughter-in-law sees her former mother-in-law is still very close, is the part that makes us feel warm. Maybe we have seen too many torn scenes in our lives, and seeing such a gentle relationship with the Japanese feels so refreshing, even a little sigh. These films, in terms of the contradictions and conflicts in the film, are not serious and shocking major contradictions, nor are they the core of the suspense, they are so light, so natural, everyone did not contrive, It's like the feeling of still water running deep. The quietness and forbearance of the characters in Japanese movies are really throughout. On the one hand, they feel that they always show respect to others. The way they deal with each other seems to have a faint and meaningful beauty, but on the other hand, because of them, there is always no Regret the chance to blurt it out, how boring it would be for them. Because human emotions are like volcanoes, they do need to be released, otherwise they will explode one day, so any characteristic has two sides. We may appreciate it, but we know that we can't do it. Their national personality is formed by the traditional culture of hundreds of thousands of years. In short, some people think this kind of movie is very bland, but I think it is very good. Or it is because at such an age that I understand a lot of things in this world that I don’t need to say, I can’t say it, because what you should understand will naturally understand, and if you don’t understand it, no matter how you explain it, you won’t understand it. In short, it is a movie that Hirokazu Kore-eda tells from the trivial things in life, and it is really beautiful and refreshing. Even if it's not so real beautiful, shouldn't life always have such a beautiful hope in order to be strong on the road? I remember Feng Xiaogang mentioned in an interview with Gao Xiaosong that the director's style is indeed quite different. Some people just like to tear apart the bloody ones and show the cruelest side to others, which makes people feel psychologically and physically. Fear and trembling. And some directors, although they know the cruelty of the world, still keep a bright little tail, giving people a little hope, because everyone needs energy to move forward, so he is also the kind of person who is willing to give beautiful people. The difference in style is also the outlook on life For example, myself, for decades, I have liked to record those beautiful things in writing. Therefore, it is Hirokazu Koreeda, the director who gives people beauty and hope. Even if there are extraordinary blood and chicken feathers in ordinary life, he is willing to show us the love and affection between brothers and sisters in ordinary families. Quiet devotion of renunciation and so on. Or maybe it's because we understand the world better that we are willing to be more tolerant and tolerant.
