From the beginning to the end, the film is in a gentle and peaceful atmosphere. On the screen, the children are protected from the violence encountered in reality. The biggest conflict in the whole film is that when Masaharu Fukuyama reprimanded his blood-related son (Liuqing) for playing the piano, he loudly yelled: "Stop!" After saying this, he also felt his own fault and turned instead. Turn emotions into your own disappointment.
Under such a soft wrapper, the film presents a warm texture. The image of Fukuyama Masaharu’s father represents a kind of arbitrary and utilitarian patriarchy. He does his utmost in his work and demands his son with the same standards. Subordinates and even wives. Because of the misfortune caused by the division of the family in childhood, he had obstacles in how to establish intimacy between people. The self-esteem produced by such inferiority made him unconsciously show nobility and indifference. However, even so, he still held a lot of patience and gentleness towards his son. Perhaps this was the education he received, which made his self-demand always show a civilized side, but in many scenes, there are many dogmas and etiquette constraints. , Can still make people feel very unnatural and rigid.
As the father played by Fukuyama Masaharu said, "Rather than working hard in the future, it is better to work hard now." What he can bring to his children is a richer life and resources, and as much as possible in the future to allow him to replicate his "success" "But what my mother said, "Some people can't do it even if they want to work hard." Maybe it's the truth of life, and this sentence is also talking about herself. She and her father’s life philosophy cannot be integrated, so although her father was touched and changed a lot, the differences between the two due to "qualification" still cannot be eliminated. As my grandmother said, "Where do you think you can climb such a person?"
In reality, fathers with such attributes are mostly not as restrained as in the film, and they are more or less violent. What is shown in the film is only the neglect and harshness of the children, which is somewhat cold and violent. For children, the sternness and indifference from the father is not the worst. After all, the mother can provide a complementary side to it. Worse, it is the existence of such a powerful family in the family, the suppression of nature, the violation of personal space, and self-esteem. The trampling, including physical violence and words that may be put into action from time to time.
Due to the lack of depiction of the evil in human nature, the film lacks a sense of depth. As a warm film, he is touching and delicate, but it is too clean to touch the deeper core of the theme of exploring the relationship between father and son.
The film is more about his son Keita. There are several details that are very moving. One of them is that when Masaharu Fukuyama went to the grocery store to pick up the child home after Ryuqing ran away from home, Keita saw him and ran into the closet. Hid.
This clip reminds me of my childhood. When I was in elementary school, I boarded at my grandma's house during the winter and summer vacations, and led a self-indulgent life. For my childhood, the less restraint, the more happiness. When my parents came to pick me up a few times, watching the car coming from a distance, I would run out of the yard and go far away, hoping that they would give up because they couldn’t find me, but no matter how long I walked, I still have to go back to face them who are waiting for me, and still have to reluctantly get in the car that returned to my home.
Don't I love my parents? I don't think so, I just want to escape the depression and loneliness of that family.
Uncle is a person similar to the owner of an electrical appliance shop. He has achieved nothing in his life and is lazy and lazy. However, he is a father who can make children happy and a son who can take care of his mother with all his heart. I always remember that in the small yard of his hometown, he set a beam between two trees, tied two ropes, and used an old tire to set up a swing. This is the most romantic thing I have vaguely felt in my childhood memory. My cousin and sister are playing with my old toys and wearing my old clothes, but they have a swing, which is something I will never have, or a kind of spoiling.
For children, a happy childhood is priceless, and parents often forget their own pursuits as children because of the cruelty and pressure in the adult world. Regarding companionship, embracing these small but seemingly unimportant things may play a bigger role in growth than what money can bring.
At the end of the film, if Kyodo’s perception is used, it seems that he is lucky. He has returned to a home with a stronger love atmosphere, and grows freely. Maybe he will become an upright but lazy person like his father, maybe he will be like a mother. Just as gentle and strong. Returning to Liuqing in another home, his future may also become better. He may become as strong as his father, and perhaps frustrated like his mother, but it is still unknown. The film can only stop here. Their fate afterwards, the various things they will face after life, have become their own choices.
The movie gave me the most feeling, not the emotional interweaving of father and son, but the regrets that everyone has encountered in growing up, such as the estrangement between Nomiya Ryota and stepmother, the hatred of his father, the piano that he gave up halfway, Wife worked hard but couldn't accomplish things, faced with her husband's low self-esteem, Qing Duowu's loneliness of brothers and sisters, and feared his father's disappointment and forced herself to complete one task after another.
Kite, Spider-Man, glowing robot, remote control electric car, swing, field, clouds in the sky, the way my brother fell asleep, mother's crying in the middle of the night, and the end of childhood after telling unintentional lies for the first time.
After I grew up, I realized that the so-called life is a stack of many regrets.
