At midnight this summer, I watched Kikujiro's summer film. I feel sour and have my own understanding. At the same time, I really admire this ingenious way of drama.
1. Seriously, I thought the child was Kikujiro at first.
2. Take a look, it turns out that the uncle is Kikujiro
3. Look again, neither of them is Kikujiro, the kid is Masao, and the uncle is Takeda
4. Try to read it again quickly, the uncle and the child turned out to be the same person, they are Kikujiro
5. In the end, I found out that neither of them is Kikujiro. Kikujiro is the person who wrote in the author's mind. Who is it? I only have to ask the author. Does it represent a single-parent family or a left-behind child like the one in the movie?
The author uses this ingenious technique to show a person who has lost his parents, let his childhood and his middle age meet and intertwined. The maturity of middle age is full of innocence, and the tenderness of childhood is mixed with stability and mutual Influence, mutual cause and effect. This wonderful way of narrative is like two brilliant fireworks of different colors, facing each other, dragging a long tail beam, meeting and shining, and then turning away.
At the beginning of the film, when the masculine man passed by the uncle and his wife, the conversation between the couple had already hinted that the wife said that he was like your mother and ran away with others, implying that the uncle is the middle-aged masculine man.
It was strange that the uncle’s behavior was so weird and childish at first. After I understood it, I understood that the author was delivering information. This uncle is a child, and the child is an uncle. For 40 years, he has not forgotten to visit his mother, windy and rainy, or muddy. Or rough, hungry, pretending to be pitiful, begging to be carried, begging to be piggybacked, walking all the way, just a few tens of minutes, but it is a journey of decades, but only looking at her mother from a distance, with mixed tastes. This kind of plot that is originally a line, folded in half, and narrated at the two ends simultaneously, avoids monotony, and enhances the interest. It is a bit like crossing, and there is no crossing the science fiction, so distorted, and everything in the plot appears natural and true.
If you look carefully, you can find that the uncle's eyes are exactly the same when he sees their young mother when he sees their young mother when he is leading the boy.
