How should I put it, this movie is just like its name "Like a River of Love". Xiaoqiu seems to be in love. Experience it both directly and indirectly. Some old people's love for his wife is passed on to Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu's grandmother's love for Xiaoqiu, and Xiaoqiu's boyfriend's almost crazy love for Xiaoqiu. These are things that Xiaoqiu can directly experience. Indirectly, the old woman's female neighbor, the old woman, has a spring-like love for the old man and the young girl. A little more obscure is the old man's love for his wife and Kotomi's mother's love for Kotomi. And Xiaoqiu is a point where these loves are worn together, and it is the intersection of these stories. Can be understood as a clue. The filming technique of this film is also very good. Through the switching of the first and third person, the conversion between the perspectives of characters, the close-up of the actors, the psychological comparison, etc., the filming techniques, such as the bland narrative method, the step-by-step story progress, life morphed plot. Combined, this movie is powerful. Brain burn is not low. Another theme of the film is loneliness. The old man is lonely, Xiaoqiu's grandmother is lonely, the old man's neighbor is lonely, Xiaoqiu is lonely, and Xiaoqiu's boyfriend is lonely too. The first three should be easy to understand, so let me talk about Xiaoqiu and her boyfriend. Xiaoqiu came to Tokyo alone two years ago and was forced to make friends for tuition fees. She couldn't tell anyone about this, and she couldn't even meet her grandmother for work. In this respect she is alone. As for Xiaoqiu's boyfriend, one is because Xiaoqiu can't tell him what she is doing, there is a big gap between the lovers, and there is a lack of communication, and the other is because of his own reasons. There is very little space, and couples still need a little space between them, and it will be fresh when Xiaoqiu is still in college. conflict. So he is lonely too. All in all, I personally think that this movie is more than this point no matter from which point of view you look at it. It's a pretty good piece of work, it's art.
