For peace, everyone enjoys equal rights. No matter which side of the war wins, the pain is the same.
The first half of the film has a laid-back rhythm. During the beautiful vacation, the children enjoy the long leisure time in the countryside, and the fantasy stories of grandma are always endless, saying that she is old and a little confused. But she just couldn't think of that brother in Hawaii. A few letters, let the children realize the pains of grandma. What I don't want to remember is not family affection, but painful history.
In the ancestral hall in the mountains, people chanted sutras and prayed together. In the background of the chanting, a group of ants crawled along a group to the back of the ancestral hall, and climbed up the wild rose by the wall. The black ants were densely packed, constantly gathering towards the red flowers.
At the end of the film, in a stormy weather, grandma walked towards Nagasaki holding an umbrella that was blown over by the wind. The family ran to grandma in the rain one by one, each running very hard. There was no shouting, only the sound of heavy rain pouring down, or that any sound was submerged in the rain.
These two scenes touched me a lot. Whether people, ants, or other creatures have their own unique beliefs. What grandma is chasing forward and what ants are climbing up are worthy of our thinking. Grandma is neither old nor confused. However, she has memories that the younger generation has never seen before.
