In a large house in Kamakura, there lived four girls, like a girls' dormitory. They were sisters, sisters or sisters of the same father. Together, they formed a wonderful and warm family.
It was Hirokazu Koreeda who once again told the story of four children after "Nobody Knows". He and Naomi Kawase, a group of new Japanese film forces, went to foreign film festivals many times, giving Japanese films a new artistic charm. Under the lens of Hirokazu-eda, it is still the main body of life for people such as society and family, and family affection is the basic source of emotion between anyone in the world. Perhaps it was influenced by Ozu to some extent, and perhaps the most simple expression is the film. A form of existence that art should have, Hirokazu Kore-eda also focused on family affection.
Ling's arrival does not open a rift in the world shared by the three sisters, even though Ling is the daughter of the woman who may have broken their family. From the perspective of tolerance, Ling has no responsibility to bear the grievances and entanglements of the previous generation. She is innocent, and her father died, she has no relatives, she is also a victim, but it is undeniable that she is the enemy's daughter. Ling is a polite and sensible child, she is lively and cheerful, she just needs a support, a home, purely from the perspective of human nature, even a person who is not related by blood will open his arms to her, not to mention the three sisters and her. , is a family bond.
The fact is that the three sisters are not such unreasonable people. They took the initiative to invite the lonely Ling to live with them at home. They are willing to throw away the grievances of the previous generation, and from the perspective of a sister, use love to resolve the unpleasant past. Of course, there are always some stumbling blocks in this process of resolution.
Fortunately, she is the head of the family, and she boldly proposed to let Ling live with her. She is the eldest sister and is relatively mature in dealing with people and things. When her mother left, her heart was filled with responsibilities for the whole family, not only for her sister, but also for her. Throughout the yard, she has long regarded herself as a guardian. The reason why she did this was because of a strong motherly love and inner stubbornness. She wanted to do it to her mother who left them cruelly. Without her mother, they still lived well.
On the day my mother worked for my grandmother, fortunate and my mother quarreled again over the sale of the house. Fortunately, she was very afraid that the joy of living with the four sisters would be put on hold, and her status as a guardian would be meaningless. She was not selfish. Instead, they are used to giving. The four sisters all need to be cared for because of the absence of family affection from the previous generation. Fortunately, as the older one, it is the responsibility of the whole family to shoulder the burden.
It is Hirokazu Kore-eda, not a person who depicts sadness. His movies only have love and tolerance.
The mother quickly realized the lack of self-behavior. She had left her daughters a sad memory. Since they are alive and well, she has no reason to break them up. No one wants to see hatred in the eyes of others, calm down and talk, people are emotional animals, no mistakes are unforgivable, let's remember the good things in the past, and forget the bad ones . I went to my grandmother's tomb. Fortunately, I went home and brought plum wine to my mother. One bottle was made by my grandmother, and only the last bottle was left. The two reconcile, in a light way. The things left by the dead always remind people of his goodness, but when they are alive, why are they always quarreling and arguing? Grandma has a mantra, living things are very labor-intensive. It is true. Plants must be carefully cared for to bear rich fruits. For example, the plum tree in the yard needs to be repelled and disinfected. Animals and humans live together. Space, only when they coexist harmoniously with human beings, can human beings have a future to talk about, and the relationship between people is the most complicated. If handled improperly, it will cause mutual hatred, and it will be difficult to eliminate it for a long time. .
Kano has a very similar temperament to her mother, and she often has verbal conflicts with Yukio. She said that when she moved out to live alone, it was not that she had no nostalgia for the family, nor did she dislike Ling, she just didn't want her sister to take on too much. . The happy home of the four sisters, whom my sister has worked hard to protect, may be just a sweet dream to a certain extent, but this dream will wake up one day. Now, they each have a new home, this dream will disappear, it is a matter of time to separate. Fortunately, this truth is not understood, but unwilling to face it. Ka Nao has something to say, it is different from her sister's forbearance. It is said that when sisters are together, life will be peaceful, but what is the meaning of life in a stagnant pool? Therefore, sisters complement each other in temperament. Occasionally, there are minor conflicts. It is an effective integration of emotions. After the conflicts are over, they will have a beautiful and interesting life.
The first quarrel between Kanao and Yuki was because of Kanai's boyfriend. The first scene in the film is that Kanao is sleeping with her boyfriend, indicating that Kanao is emotionally more casual, and it's okay to talk, even if she is just giving, her sister will treat her This casual view of choosing friends is opposed to it, but it turns out that Jianai's boyfriend is really unreliable, and Jianai also tastes the taste of lovelorn again and again. Fortunately, of course, it was for the sake of my sister, and I didn't want them to be hurt. This kind of quarrel is full of love. They quarrel and they quarrel, and they won't remember the next day. It's just like when Kaano was stealing her sister's clothes, they were just fighting like children.
When Xing Xing learned the news that He was going to go away, he was a little disappointed. At first, Kano was sarcastic, saying that He Ye was like his father, and when his sister was repeating the same mistakes, the two had a conflict again. The younger sister once again stood on the sidelines to evaluate her emotional problems. Although it was not rational, it was not unreasonable. Kaano's frankness actually helped her sister, allowing her to think carefully and make the right decision. Soon, relying on the power of plum wine, Kanai calmed down and talked to her sister. She said, Qianjia and I will take care of Ling together, and we will support you from below. This family already has its extraordinary meaning.
It seems that everyone will become soft in front of such a special home, as is the case with mother, as is with Kano, everything is forgivable, and the past and the past are no longer hateful. Dad is a failure, but maybe he is also a gentle person, because he left everyone a sister, a sister like an angel.
To embrace the whole world with an ordinary heart is the ultimate state of Hirokazu Kore-eda's films, which is "harmony" in one word.
Counting the pictures of the four sisters standing together, each frame is meaningful and deeply interprets the realm of "harmony". On the mountain and at the station after the father's funeral, the sisters and Ling shared the memory and listened to Ling's heart; when they talked about the significance of the plum tree to this yard, the four of them were full of expectations for the fruit that was bred; in the sea cat cafeteria, the food was delicious and delicious. Happiness is even more enviable because there is one more person; on the day of picking plums, I looked at the old plum tree and felt together; on fireworks day, four people wore yukatas and set off fireworks in the yard, laughing and laughing, which was more beautiful than fireworks; two After Ms. Gong's funeral, walking on the beach, talking about the future, talking about life, the four flowers will bloom together.
Both my father and Ms. Ninomiya said a word. Although they knew that they were about to die, they still felt that beautiful things were beautiful, and they were very happy. And being able to make every day beautiful is really a good life.
