As a cartoon, at first glance, the style of the painting is too rough. I insist on watching it for two minutes. Well, it's really fragrant!
Onoye lives with his brother, parents, and grandmother. Everyone suffers from secondary school and forgetfulness to varying degrees. Although the family is ordinary, sometimes complaining about each other, occasionally intriguing, and occasionally arguing, but Xiao Que Xing is never absent, and the family still lives foolishly and happily.
The spring thunder rolled and the rain poured, and the father, who was trapped in the station, called his family for help.
(Dad) "Give me an umbrella."
On the other end of the phone:
(Mom) "Asheng, Dad is at the station, help him deliver the umbrella."
(A Sheng) "Ah~ what, but I'm doing my homework."
(grandmother) "Go on your own. Occasionally, the couple will be alone."
(Mom) "But I'm very tired today~ Ah Sheng, you should go."
(A Sheng) "Tell my sister to go."
(Dad) "Forget it! I'll go to the supermarket and buy one myself!"
(Mom) "Then buy a box of pork belly by the way."
Bajiya Road, Dad hung up the phone angrily, rushed to the supermarket, quickly picked up an umbrella, and went straight to the cashier. …………But I hesitated when I checked out, and then I turned back and picked up a box of beef and pork.
Dad held up a new umbrella and a heavy ox five flowers, and walked home with a pouted mouth. Pedestrians in the wet alley looked in a hurry, and the sudden spring rain drowned out the good mood today. I thought I was going to be angry with my family tonight, but when I looked up, I saw three familiar figures, my wife, son and daughter. The resentment at this time is like a ball of marshmallows, and it melts in an instant when I meet the family's water.
As children, we sometimes battle wits and courage with our parents, but the end result is often "Ginger is still old and spicy".
Mom wanted to eat grandma's sushi, but she was too embarrassed to tell it, so she deliberately shouted next to grandma, "Let's order sushi for takeaway today."
When the thrifty grandmother heard that she wanted to order takeout, she immediately asked Ying and suggested to do it herself. The deceitful mother burst into laughter and giggled.
However, things did not develop as expected. Grandma felt that making sushi as a home-cooked dish was too uncreative, and replaced it with the "Beef Stewed Mushrooms... Beef Stewed Mushrooms... Beef Stewed Mushrooms... What's up, oh~ Beef Stew with Onions and Mushrooms". As the saying goes, the food in magazines is what the eyes know, but not the hands.
While grandma was showing off her skills in the kitchen, my mother went to dry and wash, and when she came back, the kitchen became a laboratory, full of messes and burnt lids.
On the other hand, the grandmother said lightly, "Oops, I failed, let's order takeout."
Mom was completely defeated, she didn't say anything when she was hungry, and she didn't dare to let out the fire in her stomach.
My Neighbor Yamada-kun is produced by Studio Ghibli and directed by Isao Takahata. Unlike previous works produced by Ghibli, Yamada-kun's painting style is simple and the story is simple.
My neighbor Yamada-kun is like a portrait of everyone's life. There may be a family crisis due to the loss of a certain family member, a mother who is not very good at housework, a father who is worried about his children's schoolwork, a brother who secretly drinks alcohol at a foreign school, and who always wants to promote patriarchal power in front of his children. Dad, mom and dad who danced for the remote control, brother who is in his puberty, grandmother who acts like a child... Intentionally or not, you can see in them the shadow of time or family members on you.
Japanese movies have always had an air of life, such as director Hirokazu Koreeda's constant footsteps. I will never forget the family in the show helping out in the kitchen and grandma making fried corn. I asked myself why I was so impressed by these mundane situations, because I had been in them too.
Every Chinese New Year, my family and I go to my grandmother's house for dinner. We gather around the large earthen stove and watch my grandmother cook while listening to her talk about things in the village.
These images can be recalled from the depths of memory without any force, and connected to the scenes described in the film, allowing you to connect with the actors. This skill of mobilizing your deep emotions in subtleties is exactly what Japanese directors who love life are good at.
There is always a kind of meditative magic in trivial and ordinary little things, just like this movie, simple style of painting, simple story, your heart will also be relaxed. If today's work upsets you, why don't you sit down and see the Yamada-kun family. After reading it, even if the mango half licked by RJ slipped from his hand and lay firmly on the floor, RJ would want to laugh and say softly to the mango, "Oops~ I dropped the mango on the ground today."
In the end, I use the sincere words of the elders at the wedding of Aron and Matsuko (Yamada-kun and Mrs. Yamada-kun) as a commentary on today's ordinary life. After listening to the words of the elders, those little cuties who have entered or hesitated to enter married life should cheer up.
Aaron, Matsuko, congratulations! Also, congratulations to both parents and friends and family. From today onwards, the two of you will set sail to the prosperous and splendid social ocean. As the saying goes, life has its ups and downs, and sometimes it will inevitably be swallowed by the wind and waves and fall into the bottomless abyss. Don't worry, though. Two men and women who are not very reliable can still get through most of the difficulties as long as they work together. So, my suggestion is to have children while we are young. Children are the biggest weapon that inspires us to overcome difficulties. Now everyone thinks that raising children is tedious and difficult. However, everyone has come here before. Raising a child can only know the kindness of the parents. Although the parents are long-winded, they can help take care of the children and sometimes buy toys for the children. Therefore, it is only after I have a child that I realize the preciousness of the parents. Although this interpretation distorts the original intention of raising children to know their parents' kindness, modern people seem to interpret it this way. But then again, this is indeed the kindness of parents. If all goes well, you may be able to count on your parents to keep the land and house for themselves. So, Matsuko and Aaron, from now on, you have to be filial to your mother. In the long journey of life, what do you find the most frightening? Is it a storm or a wave? neither. The most terrifying thing is the calm water. No matter how terrifying the waves are, as long as the husband and wife and family unite as one, they can overcome it. Not necessarily when the weather is calm. When the weather is calm, you will relax and let go of your clenched hands. Be careful! Matsuko and Aaron, if you just wander around when you're calm, you'll get lost before you know it. "
In the end how to face calm moments? Let's watch the movie.
