I still cry often, and occasionally feel that everything has a way out

It is amazing that the film uses a gentle and direct way to explain the relationship between the characters that should be full of sharp contradictions. It directly takes the gentle core of human nature as the commonality of the characters and the premise of the story, and then let the characters begin Their usual complicated and uneasy life, they fell into their own ordinary expression dilemma, and they were unwilling to be unwilling, but the film is not keen on explaining, only slowly revealing everyone's hidden pain. It can be explained; there is no accidental way out for all contradictions and barriers, just a typhoon passing through, the world seems to be cleared, and life can finally continue.

Is life so simple?

I remember last year's birthday wishes, one of which was a dream to find the softest core of human nature, because I feel that there are hidden pains and commonalities among all people. Maybe this makes it easier to live with a long-term feeling of powerlessness.

    The walk does not continue.

    The film is as bland as water and unwilling to return. Emotional processing is not delicate and moving, and only constantly teases the audience by playing tricks and tricks, which does not help the play itself. Maybe it's because I've become more vulgar and can't enjoy the films of Hirokazu Kore-eda in recent years. But I really feel that he has made no progress over the years, and maybe I am really becoming more and more vulgar.

After the Storm quotes

  • Shinoda Yoshiko: I wonder why it is that men can't love the present. Either they just keep chasing whatever it is they've lost... or they keep dreaming beyond their reach.

  • Shinoda Ryôta: The lottery isn't gambling.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: Of course it is.

    Shinoda Ryôta: No, it is not.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: What is it, then?

    Shinoda Ryôta: It's a dream. A dream you buy for 300 Yen.
