A lot of emotion

When I think of it, it was Hirokazu Kore-eda's film, "The Sea Street Diary" is perhaps the most tender and happy film, with the sea, the green plum, the youth, and the Nagasawa Masami.

Later, when I watched "Never Stop Walking", I felt so depressed and felt the emptiness and powerlessness of life. If it’s just powerless, it’s fine. What’s more uncomfortable is the deadline. Our struggles have a shelf life, isn’t it? Grandparents and fathers are all growing old in anticipation, the more they want to be fast, the slower they are;

I didn't expect that the male protagonist and the old mother in "Deeper than the Sea" are the same. Is Abe Hiroshi and Koeda Hirokata equivalent to Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Wong Kar Wai? It's just that Abe Hiroshi in the play is more depressing. He seems to be called a lot. Forgive me for not being a textualist and my memory is not good. I only think that he is a name and a person in the two films.

For many, what is the dream? In my opinion, it is out of reach, alone on the fringes of society. Fortunately, there is a kawaii little male colleague who accompanies him in the movie, lends him money, and takes his dream as a horse.

Of course he loves his children and never forgets Mizuno, but all he can afford is the discounted baseball shoes and 4 lottery tickets. He took out a little money to buy his mother a record (and kept walking), but when he was preparing for child support, he still had the idea of ​​stealing her mother's money; many of course loved his ex-wife, but he Really nothing, what to fight for? After all, no one is blind... A lot of them are really good and useless, and they almost thought they had nothing to do with reality.

But it is obvious that many are ordinary people. If we don't pay attention, we are many...

He loves books, loves writing, and has a career. How can he be such a bad person? But when we watch movies, we all know how depressing this kind of life is.

Perhaps only by pulling away can I see myself more clearly.

Unsatisfactory things in life can't be passed by just sleeping. Jobs said it well: When I picked up the phone, no one ever rejected me.
