The movie starts from the life of a Japanese family. The father, Sasaki, was fired due to the development of the company. His job was replaced by young people. The "relief food" distributed to the homeless, my father has also been looking for a job. During this period, he also went to his classmate's house for dinner, and covered each other so that the classmate's wife thought they were working normally. Later, both the classmate and his wife committed suicide, and Sasaki was lost because of this. Just compromise and get a job as a cleaner.
The movie gradually reached its climax. The eldest son wanted to be a soldier and asked his parents to sign. The father had a stand-off with him. The eldest son was a soldier, and only the mother saw him off. At this time, the father was still cleaning the toilet. I found a letter from the entrance examination of the music school at the door. The father beat the younger son violently. After that, the family was in chaos. The mother was kidnapped and held to drive. The father was found by the mother to work as a cleaner. One day, everyone showed a breakdown and wanted to start all over again, away from home and away from everything that engulfed their lives. As the next day dawned, the sun shone on the mother by the sea, and everyone consciously went home with self-examination, maintaining the operation of the family. The eldest son wrote that everything was fine, he no longer believed in the United States, and decided to return to China to learn about the country. In the entrance examination of the youngest son in the music school, a piano song infected everyone present. The father cried for the first time, and the tears of bitterness and regret were also moved tears, which pushed the film to a climax.
The film is named Tokyo Sonata, which is an imagery expression of the ups and downs of this family's life. I seem to be able to feel the hardships and hardships of life from a piano piece by my youngest son at the end of the film. All emotions are also released at the end of the film. Like even the father, who has been pretending to be a strong and authoritative image, weeps after hearing his son's beautiful piano music. The side of the movie shows that Japan is moving forward under the attack of China and the United States, which affects the father's unemployment, the eldest son is fooled by the United States to join the army, thinking that he is defending his family and the country, and the family will also fall apart. When everyone wanted to escape and it was painful, they finally returned to the family, all because of family pain, but it was because of family love that maintained their relationship with each other and belonged to them.
Counting down a few meticulous places in the movie, every time my father arrives at the door of the house, he has to reorganize his emotions and clothes, and he has to go home with a smile on his face, just like countless middle-aged men today. As a family film, eating is of course indispensable, but this family's meal is very quiet, and it is different from the Chinese people when they eat with each other emotionally. Before joining the army, the eldest son asked his mother why he didn't get a divorce. The mother said casually, "Because someone wants to be a mother." The words reflected the helplessness and persistence of countless housewives.
The movie finally gave hope, just like the sunshine of breakfast, the piano talent of the younger son, the letter of the eldest son, the tears of the father, and the conscious return of the mother, which made the family warm.
