Surprises often come unexpectedly, with a beautiful and delicate style, calm and plain lines, clean and detailed pictures, and hidden emotions, just such a simple and down-to-earth family and confused high school students. to save the world.
The whole story is like a warm and familiar piece of life, and like a fragrant student diary. Even if the world crisis is imminent, it cannot break the indifferent but persistent human feelings.
What is even more touching is the sharpness of character and emotional talk created by time and human nature. Makes the overall content of the film more rich.
At Xia Xi's request, Kenji came to his family pretending to be her fiancé, but inadvertently helped artificial intelligence crack the high-end network password, causing chaos in the world. When he was about to be taken away by the police, he told Xia Xi's grandmother that I was basically the only one at home. It was the first time in such a lively life these days, and I was really happy. The director borrowed the monologue of a high school student to reveal the common feature of modern people: loneliness. And seems to imply the method of treatment, simple and sincere, and a mutually inclusive attitude towards life. Then the conflict between Uncle Xia Xi and his grandmother, and the friction between Kenji and the Xia Xi family, also showed this again. It can be seen that this is not just a prescription for family love, but also for everyone. As outsiders, Kenji and everyone can finally build trust and work together to overcome the crisis, and Xia Xi can finally get the help of netizens around the world. , all derived from this principle. Although the process of heart-to-heart was compressed into a few minutes by the crisis, its inner tension has been strengthened instead, and people can easily agree with it while moving. This is the shining point of the film.
When the crisis came, the grandma, the parent of the descendant of a famous family, began to call relatives and friends constantly. This paragraph is also wonderful. Grandma's tone and lines for different characters are very skillful. It not only perfectly shows grandma's calm, calm, open-minded, The perseverance of everyone, and at the same time, people can clearly feel the indomitable fighting spirit of human beings in the face of crises. Just a few shots, the characters are immediately full of flesh and blood, and their spiritual endorsement role is also radiant. Seeing this, I couldn't help but admire the director secretly.
After the death of grandma, there was no leader for a while, people were at a loss, and the atmosphere of pessimism and irritability permeated the room. Kenji stood up at this time and agreed with the opinion that the second son in the family should not wait. And the struggle group, a few men are busy again. In the end, the last thing that brought the family together was grandma's last letter. She said: The most important thing is to be hungry and empty. I am so happy with you. The grandmother's tolerance and kindness to the adopted son and the adopted son's reliance and love for the grandmother are also vividly reflected here.
Finally, the world is at peace, and love has a chance to appear. The youthful atmosphere of the film is most strongly expressed here. However, when shyness, tension, enthusiasm, and expectation slam on the screen, people can laugh easily and at the same time, they stir up another story about their memory. Some taste, sadness, helplessness, and rush to come and go.
Family affection, friendship, love, human nature, spirit, and belief are not uplifted, nor step by step, nor even imperceptible, but they can be felt. As if the inner store heard the call, inadvertently filled the senses. Not exaggerated, not low-key, not intense, not deep, finely crafted without lack of craftsmanship, with many contradictions but calm and natural, as if to say: saving the world is just a part of life, so it can also be down-to-earth and simple, plain And warm.
Life is not about saving the world.
Life is not to be hungry, to have someone to accompany you.
PS: The most amazing thing is the use of storyboards. It’s not too much to use superbly, and it’s absolutely praised. Supplemented by a watertight connection, the atmosphere is just right. The outbreak of the crisis, the encouragement by telephone, and the global support, these scenes are simply intoxicating. The ending song and the movie also complement each other, and they have endless aftertastes. Although some scenes are familiar and old-fashioned, they do not make people feel tacky or boring. Several main characters have distinct personalities and strong contrasts. The supporting roles also have their own personalities, which makes them memorable. The film itself is rich in content, intriguing, and worth watching again and again.
