Maybe the long summer atmosphere is too quiet, and the lack of plot points to arouse the curiosity of the audience, the film is intended to hit Cannes but it fails. When I watched it the second time, I was deeply involved, and such family dramas would not really end. —— "Japan Times" Mark Schilling Children return to their parents' hometown, this work deliberately or unintentionally brings a layer of tribute to Ozu. The life in ordinary life is helpless, but the emotional entrance is completely different. -"Midnight Eye" Bryan Hartzheim "Non-stop" Still Walking Director: It’s Hirokazu Abe and Hiroshi Abe, Yui Natsukawa. Previously Hirokazu Edema has many masterpieces on the topic of death. He said that "Walking" is not about the life grief of a white-haired man sending away a black-haired man. It is how death accidents change ordinary families. Fifteen years later, it seems that the death of the eldest son is like a small stone thrown into the lake. The movement is small but the waves spread, affecting every member of the family. Another year of death comes, and family members are rarely reunited. Most of the story takes place in a single day, with characters going in and out of the kitchen, living room and bathroom. In the same summer breeze as in the past, and the daily trivialities of less than 24 hours, some secrets were unwittingly revealed. The pressure of reality, the leaving and staying of the elders, and the worries of children, speaking of the film is really a bit uninspiring. It is these mediocre surrounding events that Kurosawa Kiyoshi, Hashiguchi Ryosuke and others have tried to interpret them from different angles in a year. In the eyes of the writers and directors, through every small family, they are a window into the wind and rain and social changes outside. People who are impatient and impatient should watch "Non-Stop Walking", which is no different from covering a quilt in dog days. The way the film is cut is like the people in the play breaking corn kernels and dropping them down. At first, they didn't have a clue. Until the delicious corn tempura was made, I realized that the patience of the earlier preparation was worth the money. As the story progresses, the initial impression of the characters tends to be biased. The old father who opened the clinic has his own set of rules and habits, and no one can interfere. The child was playing in the courtyard, and he immediately stopped drinking if he hurt the flowers. Don't look at his father's very few words, he often doesn't look at the occasion when he exports, and turns around and leaves when he feels unhappy when taking pictures. Such a father, it's no wonder that many younger sons are aggrieved. However, the film "smeared" him and also washed him out, greeted the old lady on the opposite side, chatted with the grandson, and reprimanded the rescued man afterwards. The old man also had a real and amiable side. The mother who maintains the emotions of her husband and son seems to be a typical traditional housekeeping woman. However, the story of that turntable brings out another aspect of the life of the old couple. They are not the husband and wife sang that they have seen most of the time. The ending voice-over is even more pronounced. Denied the harmony on the surface. Most Japanese directors are accustomed to adapting scripts. Unlike them, Hirokazu Edema has always adopted a one-stop creation from text to imaging. There are often a lot of life-like dialogues in movies, and then deep details are extracted from them. The emphasis of "Non-stop" lies in the overall tone processing, which is clean and thorough, avoiding the possibility of noisy as much as possible, and conveying the imperceptible beauty of life. The film mostly uses fixed lenses, and the filming emphasizes the difference between the sceneries before and after and the group performance of the actors. There are a few exceptions. Obvious movements include chasing butterflies inside the house and finally swinging the boom, which has an outstanding effect. Many three people in a family stayed overnight, and the two elders were seen off by the road the next day. The tension in the relationship was eased, and everything seemed to be heading towards a firm and beautiful future. "Non-stop" did not elicit the heartbreaking awakening. When Duo repeated his mother's watering behavior in front of the tombstone, did he believe that the day he returned home was also a microcosm of his life? Many people on the way home and their mother remembered the name of the sumo wrestler, but they could only sigh that the answer came at a wrong time. Life has always been one step ahead of him, and he is always slower-too late to communicate with his parents and say the answer. He failed to make everything better, even temporarily. The conflicts caused by traditional filial piety and family values are repeated in the past, present and future. Just ask everyone how to walk away without regret.
