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.

  • Toyo: Why did you buy them for me?

    Kanji: Well, yours had holes in them.

    Toyo: Do holes in my stockings make your feet cold?

    Toyo: I was just kidding. I know you did it out of kindness, but I feel awkward at times like this. That's why I made a bad joke. Forgive me.

  • Toyo: All I do is make these little things.

    Toyo: Just making these is so much fun. I feel like I'm making friends with every baby in Japan. Why don't you try making something too?

    Kanji: What could I possibly make at that office.

    Toyo: Yeah, it's hopeless there. You should quit and go somewhere...

    Kanji: It's too late - - No - It's not too late. It's not hopeless. Even there, there's something I can do. I just have to find the will.
