I've always wanted to write something for "Kiujiro's Summer", but I'm afraid that my clumsy words will appear so powerless before this film...
Some people say that after "That Summer, the Sea of ​​Tranquility", Takeshi Kitano began to walk away. It went downhill, but I don't think so. "Chrysanthemum" is still my favorite one. There is no wanton violence in his films, but there is a warm beauty in tranquility.

This movie, I cried and laughed while watching, the smile contained sadness, and the tears showed tenderness.

At the end of the film, we know that Kikujiro is actually the name of the somewhat naughty middle-aged man.

A little boy, introverted, silent, sensitive and lacking in love. . . The typical Japanese kid
is a naughty middle-aged man, numb, doing nothing, and losing his purpose in life. . . Perhaps the largest crowd. . .

Such a strange combination, going on the road together, looking for their mother, I think they have found the origin of life, just like the people who returned to their original places in "Swallowtail Butterfly", but they didn't pay so much. cost. . .

This is a journey of pursuit, a return of the soul. And we know that the last thing we found was the middle-aged man and the lovely people on the way.

Those large green wheat fields, white windmills, country roads, and the moon in the treetops in the middle of the night. . . It's all deeply in my heart, from the lens of Kitano Takeshi's stop, I was

infatuated with the main theme of Hisaishi's writing, and I could hear the tears and the baptism of the soul. . .

    This is a movie about growing up. The beginning of the plot may be a little absurd, but it is undeniable that "Summer of Kikujiro" is a masterpiece that shows the growth of childhood and is about life. Facing the footsteps of Zhengnan's search for his mother, Kikujiro is in the film instead. More like a child, he lost all his money and was forced to walk with Zhengnan to find his mother, which calmed a summer's impetuous heart and was moved by this ordinary story.
