If life is a long way, the longest way to accompany us is family. Along the way, we will encounter many unexpected things, some are very beautiful, some are miserable, each section of the road, there will be people walking with us side by side, and accompany us through different life moments. But family members rarely walk with us. They are always at a certain distance, or in front of or behind, not at the core of the circle, but never leaving the scope of the circle. It is like an inexplicable persistence, as if as long as they stand together in the circle. Here, even if I remain silent, it can give a faint light, and accompany me to continue moving forward with peace of mind when I can't see anything. I saw this faint light in the film "The Taste of Yokoyama Family" by the Japanese director Hirokazu Ee. I also smelled "Yokoyama" composed of "Fragrant Rice", "Scent of Tea" and "Scent of Love". "Smell of Home", there is no scent that is too strong to dissolve, only the familiar light fragrance is floating in the air, it is a deep scent that will not be particularly remembered, but has always been in the bottom of my heart. Every year on the eldest birth day, the whole family always gathers together. The second son who returned home from Tokyo takes his wife and wife back with the son born to the ex-husband. The daughter, husband and two children also return to their natal family together, as everyone will do. Some ordinary scenes seem lively and joyful on the surface, and there are always endless past events, but there are also current concerns. The close and estranged relationship is constantly being pulled under the same roof. In just two days and one night, all family emotions were inadvertently dismantled and unintentionally repaired. Perhaps the deepest involvement is always unspeakable, and all the unspeakable "hidden" is hidden behind it is the "care" that is not even clear to me. [The inexplicable father-son knot: You don't need to "understand", but you can try to be "forgiving"] The doctor father in the movie has the image of a traditional big man: taciturn, proud of his work, and hopes his son can inherit the mantle. Unfortunately, the eldest son who might have been a doctor drowned ten years ago in order to save people, but the rebellious second son, according to his own wishes, went to the road of artist. The father and son were almost nonchalant, and they always turned their faces after less than a few words. The father had difficulty putting down the doctor's arrogance, could not approve of the second son's work, and was always worried about the death of the eldest son. The second son believed that any job had its value, and he was very dissatisfied with his father always treating everyone with a superior attitude. I think this is a situation that happens in many families. Fathers can’t hide their disappointment with their sons. The sons don’t want to copy his father’s path, but he still minds that he can’t make his father proud, and that his parents mistakenly remember his childhood memories. Brother Cheng’s memories are full of contradictory father-son relationship, there is love and resentment, which indirectly reflects everyone’s Self and blind spots in family relationships. The tense father-son relationship has been accumulated over time and cannot be resolved in a moment, and the most real feelings of each other are always concealed. Or perhaps, what the family needs is not an open and honest "understanding", but a "consideration" in a different place. . Therefore, when the son saw his old father’s inability to save his neighbors but wanted to help him, he finally understood his father’s lifelong efforts, and finally understood that his father’s expectations of his son were not just vanity. Although he can't fulfill his father's expectation, he can at least talk to his father well, why is there a tension between father and son? Can't take a step back, at least slow down. I like the scene where the three generations of father and son walked to the beach together. The three of them walked one after another. The second son looked at his father's rickety back with crutches, and suddenly there was tenderness in his eyes. In the end, the father and son faced the vast sea from left to right, and had brief but warm conversations, which opened their long-closed hearts. It turns out, beware that you no longer just pretend to feel your own feelings. Even if you can't fully understand, you can try to be considerate. The father and son can at least have trust and treat each other well. [Wise mother: the true pillar of the family] The most memorable thing in the movie is my mother. A mother who has never gone out to work in her life is a standard housewife in the eyes of her husband and children. However, she is wiser than everyone to face the various storms in the family: after the eldest son died in an accident to save others, every year on the eldest son's day, she invites the rescued children to come to the party, and the mother always kindly and him. Gossiping, he also mentions the experience of being rescued once a year. The second son couldn't bear to mention the sad things to the child again every year, and hoped that his mother would not let him come again. My mother said coldly: "It is too fast to forget a person in ten years. If there is no one who suffers, the one who suffers is us. Seeing this, I deeply feel the pain in my mother's heart that is difficult to heal. It turns out that grievances are always there. Regrets let forgetting have nowhere to take root. It doesn't matter if you forgive or forgive, no matter how many years have passed? For a mother, the pain of losing a child is always there, and she can only find a way to make her life better. Another unforgettable picture is a mother who has always been calm and self-control. On the night of the eldest son's birthday, she saw butterflies flying into the house. She could no longer control the feeling of missing her son. She decided that it must be the incarnation of the eldest son. Mother desperately chased the back of the butterfly, which made her bitter. At this moment, after all, she was just an ordinary mother who missed her son. The handling of the relationship between husband and wife can better see the excellence of the mother. The most wonderful scene in the movie is that the parents and the family of the second son have dinner. During the dinner, talking about the music they like, the father laughed and said that he had taken his mother to the concert before, and the mother was still asleep. Music has no taste. Unexpectedly, the mother asked her son to pick up her collection of music. In an instant, the old singing voice filled the surroundings, and the mother seemed to fall into the old memories, humming lightly along, only to see the father rushing to eat in embarrassment, without a word. . Later, through the bathroom glass, my father asked when his mother bought the record? The mother said lightly: "At that time, I was going to that woman's house with my child. I heard this song outside the door. I heard your voice in the house, so it was inconvenient to interrupt. I bought this record in front of the station the next day. "The short conversation revealed that she knew everything about her husband’s affair that year. Without a word of reproach, she kept the "Missing Song" between her husband and mistress in her heart. On the one hand, she took care of her husband’s face. But there is no trace showing that she cares about this matter. Not only was his father surprised, he also understood the depth of his wife's tolerance. I really admire the old-fashioned way of getting along with husband and wife! Even the closest people to each other still have their own secrets. Once those secrets that cannot be said are revealed, they will become an obvious crack. The mother chooses to hide the crack and continue to live well. It is not only her husband's that makes her perfect. Emotion is a complete family, because in the family relationship, she is not only a wife, she is also a mother. From this point of view, the real pillar of the Hengshan family is actually the mother! I like the view of the old couple walking down the long stairs at the end. The image-conscious father said goodbye to the mother and the son three people by shaking hands abruptly. The mother smiled and said, "Don't worry about my hands. As long as you know, no matter when I will not let go of holding your hand. It seems ordinary, but it is full of affectionate words. This made me realize that although having children and grandchildren is a happy thing, the greatest blessing in life should be when you are old, there is still a wife who will hold your hand and walk you along the long road! [There will always be light on the long road] The whole movie faithfully presents the atmosphere of "home": the ancient wooden bungalows and the dim light reveal the long years that the family has spent together. In the kitchen, the smell of the fried corn tempura that my mother specializes in, the familiar home-cooked taste, awakens the memories of the past. The falling tiles in the bathroom, the small space in the room, the parents' gray hair, and wrinkled faces all tell the fact that the child grows up and time is getting older. Walking out of the house, the clean streets and brilliant flowers and trees are the most faithful sights in memory; after many years of walking the long stairs, the familiar greenery on both sides seems to have never changed, like the company of family members, always maintaining a certain distance , But insisted not to go away, even if he could only see his back, he didn't want to look away. Just like this, silently accompanied all the way, like a faint light, silent and warm, That light, let you know that you will not be alone. This may be the deep meaning of "family". Looking at these familiar scenes that are constantly repeated, I feel that it is the strong love for "home" in the hearts of the director and the director, and there is also my deep love for home. Any feelings in this world may disappear due to time. Only family affection will always be there. So I think that love and friendship that can become "family" are also the most blessed feelings, light connection, deep bondage, You don’t need long-term promises, just quietly accompany me on the path of growth, illuminate the way forward for me with a clear heart, and let me know that even if the lights of the world are all off, there will always be light in my heart, and that light , There must be you!
