If you give me half a year of light

9.5 points. After watching the first 20 minutes, I knew that this movie must be a five-star movie, but I didn't expect that the arrangement behind it would be more than an extra surprise, and I really wanted to score a perfect masterpiece.

I remember when I was in junior high school or high school. I watched "The Tenth Screening Room" at home once with a topic of Akira Kurosawa. Compared with the obscureness of "Rashomon", the scene of swinging in the park at the end of this movie left a deep impression on me. It actually shows up at the end of the movie.

This movie is probably a movie that every civil servant or child should watch. At the beginning, the tediousness of the official business and the drowsy life day after day. The girl who was resigned is called a mummy. After learning that she has been confused about life for a while, she doesn't know what life is about, and was pulled out by the writer to relax. Only in the girl can you feel the vitality and life of young people.

In the movie, when the son and his father are talking to each other, the part of reading the newspaper is also very straight. If he wants to say no, the newspaper blocks his view, and he puts down the newspaper and starts to scold Lao Tzu.

The final storytelling arrangement is also very clever. Through the narration of the same people, the last paragraph of Watanabe's life is told colorfully, and he has become China's "Jiao Yulu", and a little bit of patchwork is also shown A wonderful sense of puzzle solving. However, the girl who was looking forward to resignation did not show up in the end. Obviously you can be a salted fish in the city hall, but you have to do a job where one second is paid every second. I wonder if you can feel the meaning of life or the exploitation of capital?

The boss's contribution at the memorial service, the subordinate's flattery, and the big bureaucrat's smirk are vivid and vivid. It is really difficult for the government to do things, but more than 60 years later, the right to speak in the Japanese bureaucracy should still be in the hands of the upper class. Ordinary employees can only hold their heads up in anger like Saito, and then half of their faces are covered by documents, and finally disappear under the desk.

    #日影节##新看# When I watched this film many years ago, I always felt that the emperor's social criticism was a little too forceful. This time I rewatched it, but I understood the sadness of people who want to be born. The handling of the mourning hall in the second half is excellent, the coffin is not necessarily conclusive, and the various selfish and hypocritical fights between people's hearts can be described as extremely exciting. They keep saying that they want to become better people, but if they don't experience it, they don't know that life is short and life is precious.

    It took the last 50 minutes to question, guess and miss the deceased. Akira Kurosawa is too confident. According to the normal routine, he may use double selling to win the sympathy and tears of the audience, but the director let Watanabe's story line in the middle. It stopped abruptly and was replaced by another group of people with similar identities to the dead protagonist, of course, the living people, and the theme also became deeper in the noise. The protagonist’s psychology has something in common with Wei Ming, who committed suicide by taking poison in "The New Woman".

Ikiru quotes

  • Novelist: It's fascinating. I realize it's rude to call you fascinating, but you're an extremely rare individual. I'm just a slacker who writes second-rate fiction. You've really started me thinking. They say there's something noble about suffering and it's true.

  • Novelist: Misfortune teaches us the truth. Your cancer has opened your eyes to your own life. People are fickle and shallow. We only realize how beautiful life is when we face death. And even then, few of us realize it. The worst among us know nothing of life until they die.
