A few days ago, I finally watched the veritable sonata on the big screen, "Tokyo Sonata" (トウキョウソナタ/Tokyo Sonata). The amount of actors in this film is not weak. Teruyuki Kagawa, Kyoko Koizumi, and Koji Yakusho are all first-class actors at the top and second-tier levels. Therefore, this film has the opportunity to be screened several times on Broadway, and the box office response is good. However, the plot of the movie is actually a bit contrived, and the scene where Koizumi Tokoko meets Hiroji Ozawa is for artistic conception and loses focus. In the movie, Teruyuki Kagawa is an unemployed middle-aged man, and Kyoko Koizumi, who plays his wife, is a housewife who is eager to drive away in a van. An unknown musical genius. Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa used to make thrilling films, but this time he switched to a family ethics drama indolent film. In some places, it was a little bit salty and vinegary, which was not enough. However, because of the excellent actors, the drama was still impressive.
After leaving the scene, when they took the escalator, there were two women in their thirties who were dressed to match the IFC middle-class image, complaining that the film was too slow: "It took a lot of time to shoot actors running and walking, do you need to shoot that much? ?" Another agreed: "Yeah, I didn't expect him to play the whole song." At the end of "Tokyo Sonata", the broken family gradually recovered after four months. The father took his wife to see the younger son to participate in the performance assessment. The younger son popped a piece of Debussy's "Moonlight" about five minutes long.
On the contrary, I think that the five-minute solo ending has given a lot of points to the unsatisfactory early part of the film.
