No one can stop walking

Why write such an ordinary family story?

The director is Hirokazu Kee said: "Because I want to write a story where nothing happened... a story where nothing happened but is very interesting. Because you don’t often have great events in your life. But daily life is very interesting, isn’t it? In this movie, what I want to describe is the tragedy, laughter and cruelty in daily life."



And what I want to say is that my parents’ lives are dull, and so are my parents’ parents. Yes, so are the people around. I haven't had a chance to meet a real hero. Even if there are so few great people, they are ordinary people before they are great, and they are still ordinary after they are great. Therefore, this world is still a world composed of countless ordinary people. Most of the time, we are just lonely, silent asteroids, operating independently within our own range, hating being unaccompanied and unwilling to walk with anyone.

So. This movie is about the alienation and connection between trivial planets. I don't have a sister or brother in my memory, but the mood of talking with my relatives is similar to yours. When we sit together and eat, we also speak words that are unconscious but can only be expressed in a specific environment. Sitting between my parents, I am not much different from me as a child more than 20 years ago, and from the old me more than 20 years later. My parents may be old, but I said to myself, "

It's hard to see it." Each of us, between these ordinary years and steps, quickly-laugh, cry, and be stupid; grow, grow old, and die. I have too much nostalgia for life, but it doesn't save me a cent. It's cruel to think of it.

************************************************** ***In the

movie, my mother touched the little girl's bangs and said: "Your face is so beautiful, just show your forehead." In

reality, my mother said to me: "Cut the bangs shorter, refreshing and beautiful. "

Why, mothers all over the world speak the same tone. If I had a daughter, I would probably say the same to her. "Old lady, it's so annoying." I don't know if the time comes, she will mutter like this in her heart.
