I watched the film in two parts last night and this morning. On the one hand, I did this because the length of the film was too long. On the other hand, I also read a short comment from a friend who said that the two parts of the film are very different. Indeed, after watching the first half of last night, I felt so depressed, from social problems to family problems, I was breathless. After watching the second half, I finally relaxed and returned to calm.
The first half of the film is slow-paced and traditionally told. The background of the story is Japan's economic recession. At the end of the lost decade, the number of unemployed people in Japan has risen. It should be very realistic to see employees being laid off and people looking for jobs in long queues in the film. Japan is a country with high employee stability. It is said that when students enter a company after graduation, they will basically retire, so it is difficult to have vacancies in better positions. This difference in national conditions makes it difficult for us to understand , after all, there are many start-ups in our country, and economic growth has created a lot of jobs. When a person needs to find another career after working in a position for many years, he will face a big problem. What worries me the most is when I changed jobs five years ago. I felt that I had nowhere to go. Because I didn’t want to work in my original industry, I felt that I didn’t have a job that I could do, and I didn’t have a skill, and I would be paid from scratch. very low. I can especially understand that during the interview, Sasaki suddenly encountered an interview that made him crazy. Facing unemployment, Sasaki and Kurosu chose to hide, caused by the man's self-esteem. Concealment has also caused more family problems. Couples have communication barriers due to concealment of unemployment, and they find each other more and more unfamiliar, so that this life is like a dream, because in the dream we feel unfamiliar. There are many movies in Japan depicting this contemporary family emotion. It is said that Japan currently has many asexual families, which is one reason why many young people of the next generation choose not to get married, because they do not see their parents live happily married. The first half of the film is a microcosm of Japanese life, and the sudden acceleration of the second half of the film, although abrupt, is also inevitable for the outbreak of depression. Kurosu and his lover chose gas to commit suicide, Sasaki should not die in silence. The wife has her vision of life, learn to drive license, look at cars, how she would like to travel with the family in a car. The family dream was shattered, and the personal dream of that sports car was a luxury wish and a wish to escape the family. I laughed when Hirohito appeared, is this locksmith here to open her heart lock? Take her out of this predicament? The locksmith didn't know who was the god, so the locksmith left with her dream. She found that she was God. When the heroine came home and started making breakfast, I found that the film went back to the beginning, but the audience's taste of breakfast was completely different.
After the piano piece was played, there was no applause, because God does not need praise for the ending.
