Many plots of the film are very funny, but the overall atmosphere is full of warmth. Therefore, to describe this film as funny, it is tacky but not appropriate. I think we should call it full of humor and warmth. Zhengnan and the middle-aged man performed extremely well. Zhengnan remained silent most of the time, with his head down. He was a gentle, obedient, and lovely child; while the middle-aged man was like an older child and a little gangster. Black boss, he steals things, but he is not nasty; he smashes people's glass, but he looks cute; he fools others, but he is unexpectedly simple. I think that beyond acting skills, there must be a deeper connotation and a more essential warmth that affects the overall effect. And this effect allows us to imitate the middle-aged man's cynicism and rudeness, and still be able to read his helplessness and self-pity, and read his lingering affection for his mother. Throughout the film, Kikujiro always tries to keep Masao from seeing any setbacks during the journey, only hope and smiles. This is also an expression of his own invisible neglect of the generation gap.

What is worth mentioning is the music of the film. The beautiful piano sound is like the ding-dong sound of spring water in a quiet night, making the quiet night more quiet, crisp, simple and elegant. The melody changes from low to joy, and then from joy to faint sadness. This is like the lonely monologue of Jeongnam. The ending of finding a mother is sad, but because of the middle-aged man, there is an electric uncle. With Sister Orange, Mr. Bald, Mr. Heavy, and Mr. Good Man, every section of the long road is filled with joy and indispensable hope. When the panda toy was left under the bench in the morning, the dream was left on the gray beach, the tears were left in the footprints, and the footprints were left behind Zhengnan, Zhengnan ran to grab the hand of the middle-aged man, the music was gentle The flow of life tells the beauty of tomorrow. At the end of the film, Jeongnam is still running alone on the bridge when he left home. The angel's wings on his schoolbag flap slightly. Behind him is the expressionless Kikujiro, and a boat passes quietly under the bridge. , Time finally freezes here slowly. At this point, the film is all over. The whole film feels joyful and joyful. There is no sadness at least and it is only touching. I believe that after watching this film, everything will only be happy, it gives people. There is happiness, motivation, touch, more deep thinking about life, and gratitude for life. The clear and bright scenery full of chapters gives people a feeling of detachment, so that people who are sad can find their own life and move forward. Direction.

    A story about your name. All characters use pronouns, which may be a manifestation of the simple world in the eyes of Zheng Nan. What he sees is fables, fairy tales, and long dreams. The center line of this dream is that Zheng Nan is oscillating between the world in his eyes (the mother's surname in his memory) and the real world (the mother's current surname). As for the role played by Takeshi Kitano (more or less, he used the image of the villain he created in his previous movies to conduct a self-reflection), this traveling companion no longer represents the simple identity of "uncle", and Masao knew Kijiro. , and used this as a channel to confirm the specific cruel but beautiful world, and he chose to end this long childhood dream.

    Kikujiro: In Harbin's words, this man is very active, which is another way of saying bad, but it is a neutral word, and it has the feeling of bragging about his intelligence. Along the way, he used the appearance of a villain to interpret some innocuous little tricks, which is very funny. So, Masao: A melancholy little boy who has lost his father since childhood and his mother is not around. He has habitually lowered his expressionless head since the beginning. In this summer vacation accompanied by Kijiro Sen, he will laugh.
