Don't look at its slow pace, but it doesn't make people feel dull, on the contrary, the delicate emotion is well conveyed, but it doesn't feel hypocritical because of it. This fully reflects the skill of the director.
The film is about three sisters living together in an old house in Kamakura. Their parents divorced. They were brought up by their grandmother. After the grandmother passed away, the elder sister took care of the two younger sisters. The relationship between the sisters is very good, although there is noise, they are mostly warm. Then one day they received news of their father's passing, and they went to attend the funeral of their long-unmasked father. There, they meet their half-sister Asano, who is fifteen years old and the youngest of the four. They were a little strange at first, but then Asano got along very well with them. After his father died, Asano, who lived with his stepmother, would also feel lonely, so the eldest sister Xiaoxing invited her to live with them. Asano was delighted and moved to Kamakura soon after. There are many details of life in the movie. For example, Asano moved to a new school, joined the football team, and made new friends. The life of women together is always trivial and warm. Asano will listen to her sisters tell the story of her grandmother, watch the plum wine made by her grandmother, and they will also listen to her about her father.
The days went from winter to spring to midsummer.
There must be men in women's stories, and these four are no exception. Although they are not regarded as the focus in the movie, they are all pointed to the end. The eldest sister, Xiaoxing, is always teased by the second sister, Xiaonai, for not being able to marry, but her relationship with the married doctor is also very ambiguous. Although it is not as affectionate as in a love movie, the doctor finally proposed to let Xiaoxing go to the United States with him. , and he will divorce his wife. Xiaoxing's father had cheated on them and left them. If Xiaoxing agreed to the doctor, she would also become the one who destroyed other people's families, so the conflict in the drama was also highlighted at this time. The sisters objected, she My choice of feelings, although the director arranged it very restrained, but as an audience, I can still clearly feel it. In the end, the eldest sister refused the doctor's request, and the two parted ways.
The second sister's love road is also quite bumpy. The second sister works in a bank. She is kind and simple, and has a kind of attitude of "some things I only do for you", a kind of "big reason, no match for my happiness", but she doesn't seem to have the vision to choose men. After Niulang's ex-boyfriend was deeply sad, he met a useless man who was called "too serious" by his elder sister. Work doesn't bring her much fun, so she focused her energy on running a sweet relationship, so the second sister invited him to dinner, lent him money, and slept with her, which made people feel emotional about such a woman It's rare in this society. This useless man was also a scumbag in the end, and took her money and ran away. The second sister was drunk all night. After a period of time, she was promoted to be the deputy of the section chief, visiting clients with him. The section chief is a very responsible and calm man. But the two did not even give the ambiguity expected by the audience, but simply gave a few shots of the second sister being influenced by the class leader, so we have no way of guessing what the final result will be.
The third sister's emotional explanation is the most brief. She works as a clerk in a sporting goods store, and the owner is also a close friend of hers. He used to be a member of the mountaineering team, froze six toes while climbing Mount Everest, has long curly hair, and speaks a little cold. Once at work, he looked at the photos of the distant mountains and remained silent. The third sister went up to solve him and teach him how to fish. That's all.
The younger sister Asano has a lot of space, because she is the half-sister of the older sisters, and she is also a new addition to their family, so there are many contradictions and conflicts in her body, and many stories are also caused by her. For example, in grandma's seventh anniversary celebration, the hidden conflict between mother and eldest sister also surfaced because of Asano's existence. Asano moved from the mountains to Kamakura and met many new friends at the new school. Among them, she was quite close to a boy named Fengtai, and it was also rumored by her classmates that the two were already dating. The sisters seemed to know about the two, and they joked about the little sister. Today's children are really happy. When I was a child, my parents were quite strict with this kind of thing. But in fact, as I said before, there is not too much definition of the relationship between the two in the movie. You can say that they are ambiguous, lovers, and good friends. When spring came, they went for a walk by the sea, and Asano talked about his father. Afterwards, Fengta carried Asano along the avenue full of cherry blossoms. The pink cherry blossoms were bright and pleasing to the eye, which made people feel comfortable. In summer, Asano wore a yukata and went out to the sea to watch fireworks with Fengta. When he came back, Asano talked about the anguish in his heart. In summer, the wooden hydrangea blooms all over the front and back of the house, next to the station and the road. The pink and blue colors are really exciting.
In fact, think about it, the relationship is really uncertain, and it is sometimes difficult to tell whether the relationship between a man and a woman is a friend, an ambiguous or a lover. Maybe it will really be like in the movie.
The first shot of this movie was given to Nagasawa Masami, who was sleeping soundly on the bed with her scumbag boyfriend in the early morning. The camera pans slowly from her feet until her face emerges. After I watched her "Proposal Battle", I liked her very much for a time. Her role in it is very lovable, and she is the company that every man wants to appear. Her short hair, smile, and when she is unhappy There is a kind of magic in the frowning brows. Later, I heard that she has a D cup, and her image in my heart was ten times better.
When the camera was first fixed on Nagasawa Masami's face, I found that she was still so beautiful, but it's been nearly ten years, and the years have flowed away from her face, just like when I watched Yamashita the other day. It's the same feeling when Tomohisa starred in "Nine to Five Handsome Monk Falls in Love with Me". Hey, how many beauties have been blown away by the rain and the wind.
