I didn't plan to write it at first, but after reading a few hot comments, it was mentioned that the girl who was good at math was married soon, and Taeko was not good at math, so the clips that she was single all the time were taken carelessly, which made me a little nervous. live.
The movie is not using mathematics and being single to make such meaningless associations. After all, everyone knows that these two have nothing to do!
So why is there this conversation?
Single or married, Tokyo is still the countryside. What the movie has been talking about is actually a state of life. For Taeko, what is the meaning of life she is looking for?
Did you find out? She is always looking for meaning.
Two-thirds/quarter, everyone can quickly get the answer, for us, this is not just numbers and formulas, it can have no meaning, after all, it is just an arithmetic problem.
But not for Taeko.
How can two-thirds of apples be distributed to one-fourth of the people, but there are still more?
(Of course, my first reaction in the Department of Mathematics was that this is normalization. Each ¼ person can take two-thirds, so one person can take four times, ahem, ahem, beside the point)
In an era when the movie 1991 was relatively less open-minded, getting married was a choice that didn't require much reason. When the time has come, the right person can get married. Getting married doesn't need meaning, it's just a matter of course.
But Taeko needs meaning. It makes sense to yearn for the countryside, it makes sense to be a "working woman", it makes sense for Junxiong to choose agriculture because he loves life, and so does marriage.
Why does Taeko like Junxiong, because he is pursuing his dream, he can answer his own confusion, he can replace himself in fifth grade, and create new memories with himself.
Finally, the car drove away with only two people in the car. That fifth-grade Taeko won't get in the car.
Therefore, "people who are good at mathematics can soon get married" actually means that people who do not pursue the meaning of life are more willing to accept the rules of society. For such a person, the choice will be relatively easy, but... at least for me, I can't accept such a life.
Maybe it's just in line with my current state, I can't help but feel a little empathy.
(If it were me, I wouldn't get on the train back. But I love the ending left by the director. I love seeing different people make different choices, so the world is more interesting, so the ending dropped me two tears)
ps: I like rainy days.
