She is separated from society, has weak family ties, is unmarried at an older age, has a low status, socially fearful, and has a gloomy personality. Her only spiritual support is her fantasy treasure, and she is desperate for this. She is a modern explorer, a character of tragic fate that is incompatible with the demands of society on her. Although there was nothing wrong with her, her lifestyle was completely different from that of others, and she had lost her place.
Her daily life in Japan is just like her treasure hunt in the United States, clumsy and ridiculous, but also full of sadness. She didn't follow the established rules, wore ragged clothes, didn't care about appearance, didn't care about others' opinions, didn't force a smile, but lived alone in a small apartment in Tokyo, and then came to Minnesota in the ice and snow, looking for ridiculous Treasure. For her own goals, she endured all the hardships, and at the same time endured the incomprehension of the people around her, none of these did not shake her conviction. This is so similar to the legendary hero. Obviously the road is full of thorns, why do you want to give up your family and everything, do all kinds of unreasonable things, and go to your own death. Of course, the legendary hero finally killed the dragon, ruled the kingdom, and got the treasure. Kumiko is not like a lonely hero, probably because she looks plain and unremarkable, without a dragon sword, yet she still has to do her best. When a stranger embarks on a difficult road, it makes her look awkward and funny.
She met a kind old lady who took care of her. The old lady ignored her request and said she would take her to the shopping mall that she thought was fun. This was exactly the same as her mother’s arbitrariness. She sensitively discovered that she did not hesitate or love warmth. And enjoyment, she knew what she wanted, so she ran away overnight. She met the kind policeman, took her to eat and buy clothes, asked her to change the torn blanket, put on warm new shoes, and patiently explained to her that this was just her fantasy. The treasures in the movie were all fake. In the end, she still Escaped, just like she had escaped from a coffee shop. The police, like her friends, is a kind-hearted normal person, hoping to take her back to the road of normal ordinary people. They can't understand her, and there is no way to join her on the journey, only to see them goodbye. These people symbolize the temptation in life. She has many opportunities to come back, give up her goals and enjoy the happy daily life of ordinary people, but she did not stop. What she pursues is a treasure in the symbolic sense, and she has not shaken the will and conviction she pursued from beginning to end.
All people who seem to be overweight, have beliefs and fantasies, disregard others' eyes, and live in unreasonable ways are as embarrassing and ridiculous as Kumiko in the eyes of ordinary people. People laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through. The definition of normality and rationality that everyone gets through their own thinking, rather than being instilled, should not be ridiculed.
"I'm not just looking for "results"... if I only seek "results", it is easy for people to take shortcuts... When taking shortcuts, they may lose the truth, and even the enthusiasm will gradually gradually Lost. I think the important thing is "the will to seek truth"! As long as there is this will to advance toward reality, even if I fail this time, I will finally reach my goal, because I am still moving forward... this is You can't go wrong."-
Kumiko in the snow in "JOJO" , holding the lost rabbit, carrying the dug out treasure chest, and walking on the horizon forever.
