I called my mom early yesterday to celebrate Mother's Day
Rumbling, some chatting for a long time
The mother said out of nowhere:
"There are no days that you can't live, so just go home if you're not happy."
I realized that the article I wrote about "depression" some time ago worried her
I smiled: "Go home and eat old?"
"You can eat it."
This is mom
No matter how old the child is
Always thinking about sheltering children
Reminds me of "Deeper than the Sea" directed by Hirokazu Koreeda
The mother played by the tree Xilin also has such a personality
So strong, transparent, poisonous, cute
"Deeper Than the Sea" is an amazing film.
The whole film is flat and light, driven by witty and thought-provoking lines, like a trickle, but in the end it merges into a sea in people's hearts, making people emotional and tearful.
A lot (played by Abe Hiroyuki) is a middle-aged "loser" who is a gambler, lost his marriage, and can't make ends meet.
In the eyes of his wife, this is an irresponsible man who always defaults on alimony;
In the eyes of the elder sister, this is a younger brother who will only cause trouble to the family;
But in the eyes of the mother, this is always a talented and gifted son, just a "late bloomer".
Every mother looks at her child and brings her own filter.
Although he says that he only wants the child to be healthy and happy, he always has expectations for the future of his child.
When I was young, I was beautiful and good at reading. Every time my mother participates in a parent-teacher conference, she is surrounded by stars and asks her to share her experience in raising outstanding children.
In fact, my mom was short-tempered and playful. I asked her to read the new words to me by dictation, and she read while playing mahjong. So I have developed a good memory, and I can memorize the whole text and write it down.
With so little cleverness on the road to the entrance examination, although there were bumps and bumps, I became the first college student in my family. My mother also had a light on her face for many years.
To be honest, one of the motivations for studying hard also comes from the desire to satisfy my mother's little "vanity".
As time goes by, the ambition slowly wears out, and I have long accepted the fact that "all the people are gone", but I still hope to be the superman in the eyes of my mother.
Like many in the film, he wrote an award-winning novel when he was young, but never had a second work since. No matter how desolate he was in the eyes of others, he would still give his mother a little pocket money, saying that it was his manuscript fee to make her happy.
But his predicament, his mother knows better than anyone else.
The climax of the film comes when Shu Xilin (played by Dodo's mother) tries to bring Dodo and his ex-wife back together on the night of the typhoon.
The old lady is cooking again, and looking at old photos, trying to use family affection, warmth, and even sadness, hoping to mend her son's broken life.
But in the end, everyone accepted the fact that the lost feelings, like time, cannot be undone.
Tree Shirin comforts himself and his son like this:
"At my age, I have never loved anyone deeper than the sea and bluer than the sky. Most ordinary people have never loved like this, but aren't they happy every day? No, because there is no such love. Just have fun.”
Just as there is no disappointment without expectations, the mother and son reached a consensus in the typhoon night chat, let us accept the mundane reality together, we are just the most common mother and son among all living beings. Those setbacks, pains, and losses in life are part of what we should bear.
It is Hirokazu Koreeda who deeply understands that the interesting part of life is that there are bright colors in black, and when it sinks to the bottom, it must rebound. So he gives us a glimmer of hope at the end of the film.
After the typhoon, the weather was crisp and clear, and the mother stood on the balcony and watched her son's family of three leave.
The little grandson held the hands of his parents and looked back from time to time, saying goodbye to his grandmother, as always.
No matter what, the love is forever.
TO MY
MOTHER
I remember Mother's Day more than 20 years ago
I ordered a bunch of carnations to be delivered to my mom's office
It is said that my mother proudly walked around the factory holding flowers
so many years have passed
I'm ashamed that I haven't done anything to make my mother proud.
So this Mother's Day
Think of this tweet as a love letter to mom
Mom, the child is ordinary
But I really really love you
