Witty dialogue, clean watercolors, refreshing music, and haiku inserted after each chapter. The style is simple but unforgettable.
In fact, the director of the film, Isao Takahata, is the veteran core figure of Studio Ghibli. It was he who discovered Hayao Miyazaki, taught Toshio Suzuki as a producer, and hired Jojo Hisaishi... His works focus on small details and are generally loose in structure, unlike Hayao Miyazaki's works with obvious themes. So there will be people who find no orgasm bland.
But I just like that.
The Yamada family in this film are ordinary citizens. The grandmother is maverick and speaks viciously; the mother is fat and lazy, and is always confused; the father seems to have a bad mind and often loses his mind; the eldest son likes to talk back and does not do well in his studies; the innocent and naive young daughter is often forgotten by the family. Object.
The family is noisily and happily living together every day.
Two excerpts from the wedding speeches, one
of which is at the beginning of the film, when my grandmother gave a speech at the wedding of my parents:
Now everyone thinks that raising children is difficult and annoying. But everyone has come here before. There is even a saying, "Without parents, children will grow up." If they can crawl, they will stand, and if they can stand, they will walk. As long as you have this kind of parental heart and irrigate with love, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
In addition, it is only by raising children that they know their parents' kindness. This sentence means that although parents are long-winded, they can help take care of their children and buy toys for their children. Therefore, it is said that after having children, I realize the preciousness of parents. Although such an explanation distorts the original meaning of "the kindness of parents is known only by raising children", modern people seem to interpret it this way. But then again, this is indeed the kindness of parents.
In the long journey of life, what do you find the most frightening? Is it a storm or a wave? No, the most terrifying thing is the calm water. The most terrifying waves and huge waves can be overcome as long as the husband and wife and family are united as one. Not necessarily when the weather is calm. When the weather is calm, you relax and let go of your clenched hands. If you are just wandering around in peace when you are calm, you will get scattered before you know it. But how exactly is the boat going? There is no wind, and I don’t know which direction the bow is facing. At this time, if you are forced to row the boat with the oars, the right side, the left side, no, it should be the right side. When different opinions appear, everyone will complain, why should they be in the same boat? The relationship is also getting worse, facing the crisis of family breakdown.
As the saying goes, life has its ups and downs, and sometimes it will inevitably be swallowed by the wind and waves and fall into the bottomless abyss. However, don't worry, it is worth admiring that you can rely on your own strength and perseverance to break through the difficulties. However, two unreliable men and women, as long as they work together, can still get through most of the difficulties.
Another is Dad's speech at someone else's wedding (Mom forgot the original, so Dad improvised):
Life is always full of unpredictable things, and even if everything seems to be going well so far, suddenly You are pushed to the bottom, and it is not someone else who is pushing you, but your lover.
The most important thing in life is to be open-minded and open-minded, which is the biggest secret to not being discouraged, not frustrated, and not going crazy in the face of any situation in life. No matter how bad the other party's behavior is, as long as it is not out of malice, it can be tolerated as long as it is open to it. Do not! You can't live without tolerance. This is by no means negative, but absolutely indispensable. It's the secret to running a happy family. It is the key to face the difficulties in life with optimism.
It's really long-winded, but it shows the true meaning of maintaining a happy family. No matter how eccentric or imperfect, as long as they strike a balance with each other. The best balance is love and tolerance.
