None of my personal grievances really matter. In fact, after watching it, I feel that it is fate to meet a movie of any kind at any time. If I watched this movie in high school, I think the heroine probably fell asleep before she even appeared. (And now, the ability to watch a movie without falling asleep is probably improved.)
As a short story, the characters and plot of the original book are very simple, and the 76-minute movie is further simplified, probably because it did not want to have a fascinating narrative. So just within the limits of the audience's tolerance, very coldly told a very lonely story. Even in the home where the protagonist grows up, the heroine's clothes are MUJI fan's frigid style. All the characters are expressionless, and Hideo Nishijima, who supported me to watch the film, is the narrator throughout the whole film, calmly explaining the plot with the "stare" of outsiders. The narration has more lines than the protagonists. The direct relationship between the audience and the story characters cannot be more estranged. .
Maybe the movie is too obsessed with this flat and desolate feeling. I think that after the father's character is simplified, the different sense of loneliness between the father and son has lost its level. Compared with his son, the father of a jazz musician has a sensual life. The powerful and women have seen it. In our understanding, how can such a life be lonely. However, whether in Shanghai during the war or in Japan after the war, where he has no relatives, he is a wandering musician and a person without roots. The hustle and bustle of life only reflects the inner loneliness. He tried to take root. Maybe it was misled by some irresponsible spoilers. When watching the movie, I thought that my father loved my mother deeply, so she died because of childbirth, which caused the alienation of the father and son relationship. However, after reading the original book, I found that there are no shortage of women around my father, and the combination with my mother is more like a group to warm up in the devastated society after the war. However, the early death of his mother made his father accept the fate of loneliness.
Born and raised in such a family, it is not surprising that the son will grow up to be a lonely (recessive) person. Art genes will also be inherited, the father works in music, and the son works in art. However, in the 1960s, when the leftist ideological trend was raging, my son was also unmoved by the most "cold" mechanical drawings. After becoming a social person, but because of this kind of character and skills unexpectedly fell, this just shows that the interpersonal relationship in Japan's real society is actually a stable state composed of lonely individuals living in harmony with each other. The most pitiful thing is that both father and son are widows. It is rare for my son to like a woman so much that he finally got married, and finally got rid of the newly married "fear of becoming lonely again", but in the end he had to return to the fate of loneliness, facing the house of clothes left by his wife. , a nihilistic signified.
The wife is a shopaholic. She has been frank since the two first met, and she needs to fill the "gap" in her heart by constantly investing in buying new clothes. After getting married, the two fell in love with each other, but the behavior of shopaholics intensified. It was the "missing" in the heart that was not filled by the union of love, but the two "missings" added together to become a bigger "missing". '. The husband understands that he is unable to fill this "vacancy", so he will take a condoning attitude towards his wife's shopaholic behavior in the early days.
