The first is the scenery. I really like the natural and fresh scenery in the movie. It makes people want to be in it. A tree, a leaf, and a flower. There is nothing special and peculiar. It makes people feel kind and loved.
Then there is the rhythm of the narrative. The whole film lasts for more than 2 hours. There is no intense plot, no climax ups and downs, but it is like a person's leisure time in the afternoon, aimlessly imagination. There are many kinds of movies, one is purely visual enjoyment, exciting, thrilling or perfect shots one after another, absolutely will not feel the passage of time, absolutely no need to think, it is the first choice for killing time; the other is a master movie, It's difficult to understand, and it makes you doubt your taste, and then over and over again, and then look at the opinions of the film critics, and you will understand a little bit more. There is another kind, like "The Taste of Tea", which is completely relaxed and peaceful, similar to playing games or tasting tea, with a little more aftertaste than the first kind. In my memory, the films of Taiwanese and Japanese directors often have this style, which is simple, gentle and long-lasting.
A scene I like very much: After my grandfather died, the family walked into the old man’s room, and stumbled upon the painting book left by his grandfather. My mother draws animations, and when she flips through the animation book continuously, everyone starts to move around. It turns out that Grandpa drew the cuteness of everyone in his impression. What a nostalgic and wise old man! Before he was alive, everyone thought he was a little crazy.
