- "Next Stop, Heaven"
Is Hirokazu-eda's second movie that made me teary-eyed in a slow barely climaxing movie
In the past, it was really easy to be moved by the plot of the movie in the book. I don’t know whether it was because I grew up or I watched it a little more than before. I found the pattern, so I was a little immune. I rarely watched movies, read books and shed tears. I was moved to tears because the lines that broke out in the finale of Class A in the third year of Soda were "pleased" as a teacher.
This movie has a common theme with "Dream Travel" - death is not the end, forgetting is.
But this movie is more about discussing how we choose a happy memory that we don't want to forget and go to the next stop.
"Death", "Memory" and "Love" make up the film.
It is difficult to describe the specific plot in a few words. It can only be said that Director Hirokazu Koreeda is really good at grasping complex human emotions. He is too good at expressing with some lens language, blank space, repeated lines, different tones and excellent performances. own work.
"To make a movie is to create a dream." In this movie, it also uses a documentary-like method to directly express the process of the artificial dream that the "Transit Station of Heaven" also passed away.
Among them, the two scenes that touched me the most were:
The woman who fell in love with the married man recalled the phrase "he never said 'I love you'" when he recalled the one he loved.
And when Mochizuki was about to leave, Shiori found him and told him why she had not chosen the memory to keep. She said to him, "I will keep you in my heart forever."
