"The Smell of Sand", the corners of the eyes are moist. CCTV 6 should have been spared before. I only watched a small part of the back and left an impression, but I never found it to watch it in its entirety. I was looking for a film today, especially I wanted to watch Riying, and I happened to meet it. After the old lady Dejiang suffered from leprosy in her teens, her family sent her to a special nursing center. In those days, people with troublesome diseases were quarantined for life, so Dejiang and other lepers were probably isolated from the world for nearly half. In the past century, I longed for freedom, longing to return to the society of mountains, rivers, rivers and normal people, and also cultivated good cooking skills during the closed years, including making red bean paste, which is the main ingredient of dorayaki. In 1996, Japan lifted the restrictions on lepers. While walking, Mrs. Dejiang happened to pass by a small shop selling dorayaki. She begged the shop manager Chitaro again and again to let her take a part-time job. At first, I thought that Mrs. Dejiang was doing what she liked and rejoining the society of normal people, but these things looked good, she worked hard, treated people happily, back-to-back with the store manager Chitaro, cheering each other up, and the business of the small store is also good. It became more and more prosperous, until one day suddenly no one came to buy the gongs, because the rumor of leprosy spread, and when the work was over, the old lady said goodbye very gently, bowed and said "see you later", but then Neither came back. Try to do your own thing well and not cause trouble to others. The old lady Dejiang and the store manager Chitaro are both people who think about each other. So far, I always thought it was the store manager who was helping the old lady, until Tokujiang passed away, she recorded a message to Chitaro and Wakana before her death, she burst into tears, she saw the melancholy in his eyes, she wanted to help him get out of the fence and reintegrate into society . Dejiang, Chitaro, and Wakana's bird that was released by Dejiang are all the same, returning, free. In the film, the cherry blossoms and the moon should also refer to them. The flowers bloom, the flowers fall, the new moon, and the full moon. In addition to explaining time, they also represent nature and freedom. In fact, freedom is always mentioned in the film, even abruptly, because these things that are common to ordinary people are very precious to Dejiang. At the end of the film, Wakana put on her school uniform again to go to school, Chitaro set up a stall next to the people playing on the lawn and continued to sell his dorayaki, with a shaved face, and a smile from the heart, cherry blossoms all over the sky, On Wakana's way to school, and on top of Chitaro's work head, that is the flower of Dejiang, the warm support of his mother. Only the shadow of the sun can be so delicate and warm, including the unique light and color of the film, high brightness, low contrast, and the main theme is cooler. Although it's not Hirokazu-eda, but it's really Hirokazu-eda. And the tree Shirin, a warm and kind old lady
