Like father like son:

The appearance of father and son is difficult to separate. The blending of blood and companionship makes the similarities between father and son complicated and moving. I want to talk about Nonomiya Ryota and his dad first. According to the plot of the film and the dialogues of the characters, it can be speculated that many of Nonomiya's previous families may have experienced reorganization. At least he grew up with his father's education, and he lost his touch on the warm side of family. "I've run away from home before." Many sons of Nonomiya ran away from home and were taken back to Nozomi's house. After falling asleep, he said, "Because I also wanted to find my mother at that time." Nomiya's father attaches great importance to blood ties, and in terms of the exchange of views, he stands on the standpoint of "exchanging his biological son back". Nonomiya Ryota, like his father, has a strong obsession with his life and blood, and even at the end of the meeting, he said to Liu Qing's adoptive parents (they are the real "biological parents" in Liu Qing's mind) Go out and hand over both children to him to be responsible for this kind of talk. The blood flowing in the body, let the two children and their biological parents gradually get closer. Liu Qing shares the same "unwilling" personality as Lido, which is reflected in the fact that Duo taught him the correct way to hold chopsticks and used chopsticks to hold toys in the bathtub; Qing Duo made a mistake in playing the tune at the piano lesson results conference, but he happily applauded the other students who played well. As for the father and son of Liaoduo and Qingduo, they may only be similar in that both of them are not good at learning the piano, and it is unlikely that they will persevere. The other father and son, Xiongda and Liuqing, although not biological, have many similarities. At a glance, you can see who has grown up with the child. A little distressed Qing Duo.

The diversity of the way parents care for their children, the way they educate them, and the way they accompany them will naturally shape many children with different personalities and living habits. The atmosphere reflected by the two different families, I feel that many of the Nonomiya family are "happy in the midst of suffering", while the big family of Saiki Yu's family is "happy in the midst of suffering". On the material level, Nonomiya is definitely a complete victory, but the Xiongda family is far superior in spiritual life. In the way of educating children, Nonomiya is naturally elitist, but Xiongda allows children to have a really happy childhood. When the child feels: parents play with themselves, everyone can "play dead" together when shooting with a toy gun, and the handmade dad made for dad will be well preserved... The above are more important and far-reaching existences. It is Hirokazu-eda's expression that often pierces my heart in the film. After the two sides have made the decision to exchange children, the Nonomiya Ryota family has quickly replaced Keita's photos and began to express their materialized love for Lucy. And the shots between the two families are switched from time to time, Yu Jiali (Xiongda's wife, Liu Qing's "biological mother") makes Qingduo happy when he is alone, hugs him, and the giving of love is sometimes like this. Simple and cute? Why can't many just do it? But at the end of the film, I believe a lot can already be done.

A lot of tears again. A simple story is still moving. This kind of thing about life experience is really vulnerable in the face of time and love. I think it happens that two completely different families have completed the construction of the identity of "parents" for each other. In the film, Nonomiya Rada, who likes to work and is cold in front of children, grows from a "self-righteous" man who was injured in his childhood, a man who cannot be called a mature father, to a man who understands A "competent" father who cares about children and truly participates in their growth. In fact, it is also healed and educated by love. For any child, parental love must be deeply rooted in the softest part of the heart.
