This movie is a gem buried in the sand

When I wrote this topic, I was a little emotional, because I was so moved by the movie that I couldn’t calm down for a long time after watching it. When I shared it with Xiansen, I choked up while talking, and finally had to interrupt the conversation and tears broke again. ...... What I call sand is now a domestically produced film product. Because they are all talking about the film industry, a film released can be regarded as a product created by an industrialized assembly line. In my opinion, it is a success. A pile of sand, and this one is a gem buried in the sand. I also made a mistake when I first started. I am also a member of the Appearance Association. Because in the movie poster, the starring middle-aged man and an old lady are not handsome. They are not eye-catching at all. Although I don’t know since when I have become more and more fond of slow-paced movies like Japan, I still have my favorite things to watch, such as the summer and autumn chapters and winter and spring chapters of "Little Forest" that I loved very much last year and " "Haijie Diary", but in fact, the movies that are more to my taste are beautiful women, food, and beautiful scenery... If there are other touches and gains, it is an unexpected joy. There are no beauties in this movie (even though there is a little girl, it is still not up to the standards of beauties in Japanese TV series). The food is dorayaki, but it is simply too monotonous and not beautiful compared to other major food dramas. The tableware and setting, the beautiful scenery is some cherry blossoms and a few trees... It was something I cared about before, but because of this movie, I don’t care at all... (but after watching all , I found out that it was my previous prejudice and misunderstanding) During the process of watching the movie, comparing with my own life, various thoughts constantly popped up in my heart: let time slow down; it seems to be a massage for the heart, and my heart is good It’s soft; I also want to be a craftsman; it’s really a happy thing to make delicious food and make the people who eat it happy; life is not necessarily great, but it needs to be solid; cherish time, There are also bits and pieces in life... Watching a good movie = reading a good book, you can get a lot of useful thinking about life, and in some ways it has changed me and shaped me. There may be many good movies and books, but there are not often ones that can touch one's soul. As for the acting of the female lead actress Shu Xilin, I don’t want to comment blindly. An ordinary audience like me, after the grandmother's third appearance, every time she saw her, her eyes would moisten once. The tears should have burst before the tear point designed by the director... The director Naomi Kawase is also famous, and some people compare her with Hirokazu Ee. In fact, I don't know much. I always feel that although the film is of the same type, the feelings of female directors are more delicate and full, and male directors should be more calm and restrained. I only read the essay "As Fast as Walking" by Hirokazu Kee two days ago. I know that he was born in a documentary. Maybe the style of the movie has also been affected. There are tens of millions of professions in the world, and everyone thinks important things are different, but as long as they are humans, they have emotions, have family members, and have to eat and live. I don't want to pour any chicken soup anymore, if I don't feel anything, it's a cliché to say more. This movie made me think a lot, but when I wrote it into words, it got stuck, just like I choked up when relaying to Xiansen. Maybe this is also the charm of movie images. Language is sometimes superfluous, and it can’t. Communicate accurately. So I can't help but want to recommend friends to see it again, but just think about it and forget it. Don't force it if you can't stand it. Let's talk about it for the time being. The following content may have a little spoiler, but it is just a part of the segment that I like very much. (It's not wonderful to sort it out, some of it will be left in your brain) There was a god of sushi before, and Grandma Dejiang should be regarded as the goddess of red bean paste. Grandma Dejiang said, "Red bean paste is the soul of dorayaki." Then let's take a look at how the old lady makes bean paste. The first step: soak red beans. Peel the bean husks carefully before soaking. (The water used to soak the beans will become turbid because it contains a lot of impurities) Step 2: Steam the red beans. Pour the steamed red beans in the basket carefully into the funnel, and rinse them carefully and slowly with cold water. "It must be watered all over, because the beans still have a bit of astringency," the grandmother emphasized. Step 3: Steam the red beans for the second time. Put the red beans in the cage again, slowly pour in water, and continue steaming. Grandma Dejiang said: "The fragrance of the soul has begun to change." The manager of Dorayaki said: "It's really troublesome!" Grandma Dejiang said, "It's not because of hospitality." The manager of Dorayaki said: "Hospitable hospitality, to the guests?" Granny Dejiang said, "To the beans." The Dorayaki shop manager said, "The beans?" Grandma Dejiang said: "It finally grew out of the ground." Step 4: Wash the red beans again. Put the steamed red beans in the pot and rinse them under the water faucet. The water flow should be fine and slowly... Granny Dejiang said: "The hot beans are easy to break, so you have to be quiet and quiet. , Quietly quietly, quietly quietly... "Slowly flush out the impurities and bubbles on the beans until the water in the beans becomes clear and transparent. Step 5: Add sugar to start the honey stain, add water and pour it into the pot for the third time. Granny Dejiang said:" It would be disrespectful to start cooking it later, and to cook it as soon as you pour it in. First of all, it must absorb enough water, like going to a blind date, and the next thing is that the two young men get acquainted with each other. "So the next step is to quietly honey pickle for two hours. Step 6: Heat up. Put the honey soaked bean paste carefully from the side of the pot and stir, step by step, try not to break the beans, and slowly add the soup. Boil dry. The old grandmother said: "The red bean paste is not kneaded, it needs to be boiled a little bit to dry." Step 7: Put in the agar. Put a large handful of crystal clear agar and boil it, and it will be fine. In this way, cherish the beans and take the time to make it. The red bean paste tastes very good, and more and more customers come to buy dorayaki in the store. (I have also made red bean paste myself, which is completely counter-example. I was very anxious. I kept stirring vigorously while boiling the soup. Some parts were broken, and there were a few whole beans that were not soaked well by themselves and were still hard. They thought they were good at the time.) Later, because she had had leprosy and was not accepted by the world, the grandmother left. After I arrived at the small shop, the manager who was already in a frustrated state became more and more depressed, and later received a letter from the grandmother. I like the content of the letter very much, thank you for the translation of the subtitles team of Zhuzhu Japanese TV series. Because the movie has the same name. The novel is adapted from the novel. I like the lines very much. I think the original work must be very beautiful. Unfortunately, I haven't found a Chinese translation. Maybe I haven't introduced it yet. I look forward to reading it one day. The author of the novel is Mingchuan Tetsuya. The content of the letter is about to begin. The shop manager: What will happen to the spring after this? Maybe it will make the shop manager more depressed? When I cook the red bean filling, I will listen carefully to the red bean's whispers, just thinking about what the red bean has experienced Rainy day, sunny day. What kind of wind brought the red beans here? I will listen to them telling stories about the journey. Yes, listen carefully! Because I believe that everything that exists in the world can speak, so I pay attention. Listening to the words, even the sun shining, the wind blowing, will talk to you. Maybe, because of this, every evening, when the wind whizzes by, and the leaves of a tree are rolled up and built into a wall, I will feel it It seems to be saying, go and say hello to the store manager "Mr. Store Manager". Although I live with the mentality of living a day or a day, but sometimes I will be overwhelmed by the persecution of the world, so I have to use wisdom to live my life from time to time. I think I have to tell you these things. I always think , The manager, sooner or later you will be able to make a dorayaki that expresses your own ideas. Then, please follow the path of your own choice. If the store manager, you can definitely do it. De Jiang, I finished and wrote this paragraph on the second day when I was emotionally stable. The bean paste is so delicious, don’t worry, slow down, live a good life, and cherish everything about ourselves. . . . . . Thank you for such a director who doesn't care about making money and can warm up a small person like me. This is humanistic care. Thank you for this jewel-like movie for shining my eyes and heart. Thank you, in this era when everything is looking at money, there are still people who share these precious emotions with me. Let alone, it should be smashed. . . . . .
