The autumn wind is blowing, and the summer is coming to an end. Today, let's talk about this movie by Japanese director Takeshi Kitano. In the early years, I watched this movie because of a summer pure music. At that time, I still didn't understand why this movie had to find a child who was not good-looking to play Zheng Nan, but now I understand that the child Zheng Nan in this movie is simply too representative.
There are many lively and lovely children, and there are many silent children. Why be silent? It's summer vacation, and other students went out to play with their parents. Zheng Nan has no father and no mother. The grandmother who took care of him has to go out to work, so the child can only be alone at home.
There is no ups and downs in the plot to express the child's emotions, and there is no psychological narration from God's perspective to express the child's psychology. All the audience sees is the dullness and dullness of the child. How many children are sullen because of lack of love? How many adults will notice this kind of emotion in children? This is a question that directly points to the soul. Kijiro noticed Masao's dullness. Kikujiro is a middle-aged man, and he is also an old child. He can make the students laugh like a scissor hand to the middle school students.
Zhengnan is an ordinary child, and Kikujiro is a mediocre old child. Masao does not have a mother, nor did Kijiro have a mother when he was a child. It is also the lack of maternal love in childhood, which makes Kijiro's every move in his life a little unreasonable, that is, there is no middle-aged person. But fortunately, Kijiro understands Zhengnan's feelings, so this summer, he spent a different and beautiful summer with Zhengnan.
Dragonflies, lotus leaves, amusement parks, hide-and-seek, fishing and picnics... Kijiro met two or three friends on the way, so a few adults played with a child, and the summer elements were particularly beautiful. On the surface, these idle adults accompany Zhengnan to play and protect the little heart of a child like Zhengnan who was hurt by losing the care of his mother, but in fact, isn't Zhengnan finding a meaning in life for these adults? ? People need love from others, but also need to feel needed. This may be a person's worth. A person who is not needed by anyone is like being ruthlessly abandoned by society. Kijiro's mother ran away with others when Kikujiro was a child. The mother doesn't need to abandon herself. Kikujiro probably couldn't find his worth at one time, and he didn't have a childhood cared for by his mother... He may find the lost childhood in his future life, which makes him like an old child, very good. He is childlike, kind-hearted, and likes children. Even if he is not as serious as an adult should be, his wife is very reassured that he will be able to take the boy to find his mother.
When Masao and Kijiro finished their summer trip, Masao asked what he wanted to ask, and he asked what was Kijiro's name. It's also an expression of someone you love and appreciate -- wanting to remember your name.
And Kikujiro watched Zhengnan go away, and his gaze seemed to express: life is like a bottle of five flavors, overturned, sweet, bitter, salty, and salty.
Back at the beginning of the film, is the beginning of the flashback. Masao and Kikujiro finished their journey. After parting and saying goodbye, Kikujiro ran away quickly, the bell of the angel rang crisply, Masao ran and ran. This scene also reminded me of the countless times I ran when I was a child.
Everyone must cheer.
