Originally, I was looking for a movie for dinner, but I opened Taxi Driver by mistake. After watching half of it, I lost my appetite at all. I started watching "The Taste of Chengsha" again, and the refreshing and sour sweetness instantly healed the soul (of course, I ate a lot of rice, I really wanted to eat dorayaki).
Like many Japanese healing movies, this is a very bland story with no dramatic plot. Under the cherry tree, a small deserted dorayaki shop. The boss with a gloomy expression. Some withdrawn but gentle high school girls. An old lady who is slow and likes to talk to all things. Those who were on the fringe slowly merged with the old lady's somewhat rambling words and delicious bean paste stuffing.
Ms. Shu Xilin, as always, perfectly interprets the soul character, Ms. Dejiang, who suffered from leprosy. Also like any other movie, it holds my eyes firmly. "Do you know who planted the cherry tree?" "It's hard work, oh, I'm saying to the red bean." "The red bean needs to get to know the sugar well before you can cook it." The hunched figure that waved to the flying bird was so cute. Even though the film keeps alluding to her frailty, frail body, and unspeakable illness, I still love her gentle, naive, clumsy demeanor so much.
Redemption is always mutual. Ms. Dejiang lives on the fringes of society and suffers from a lot of scorn and discrimination. For 60 years, he has lived in a leprosy cure center. Perhaps it was in this situation that she learned to develop her strength inward, to speak with all things, and to be gentle and tolerant. She saw the sadness in the boss's eyes, and she thought of the child she could not be born, so she persistently requested to work in the dorayaki shop, urging the boss to work hard to make sweet and delicious dorayaki. As she heard the moon say - "I'm shining because I want you to see it."
——Because she wants the boss and the girl to see, she is also working hard to shine. She gave two people the most precious gift - freedom of mind. Even though she was locked in the shadow of leprosy all her life, her mind and heart were bathed in gentle freedom, accompanied by the daily wind and flowers. , Snow and Moon, flying around freely.
Because no tombstone can be erected, so when everyone dies, a tree is planted. What a beautiful and clever echo. Ms. Dejiang asked, who planted the cherry tree? Finally, there is a cherry tree planted for her again - you are looking at the scenery, and the people who look at the scenery are looking at you. Every year when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Ms. Dejiang will also come with the wind, and send her best wishes to the world.
Eat delicious food, remember to smile.
