We have to tear this face apart so that everyone can face life calmly

Some people call this film and "The Undertaker" together as the 2008 Japanese film double beauty, and after watching it, I feel that it really makes sense. They all reflect the obstacles caused by the unemployment environment to people's lives, dignity and ideals. From the wonderful level of the story, I feel that it is not as neat as "The Undertaker", but it is more real than "The Undertaker". The film gives people a great sense of oppression from the very beginning. Unemployment has brought great pressure to the hero. This pressure was passed on to the family by him and passed on to us by the film. In the end, the heroine finally couldn't help but burst out. She had to tear this face apart so that everyone could face life calmly. It turns out that blue-collar workers are not unacceptable, and their dreams are not far away. A window will open.

"The underrated Kiyoshi Kurosawa" is true. Now that I think about it, Japanese family movies have stood at the top of the world for decades and have not fallen, which is absolutely inseparable from their "kind and sometimes crazy, forbearance and sometimes perverse" nature. The sudden unemployment of the father, the confusion of the mother's identity, the indecision of the younger son, and even the eldest son, who bravely challenged the patriarchy and successfully escaped, had to make a painful choice between realizing his ideal and killing. Everyone in this family is constantly searching for, Keep hitting the wall. Frustration and indifference, pain and embarrassment, the outbreak of long-term conflicts and gatherings, in the end, everything will return to and destined to return to calm indifference. The piano piece played by the younger son at the end is just like this "Tokyo Sonata". The essence is not the excitement at the climax, but the moment when the climax ends and the ending begins - all the thoughts and emotions that this sonata wants to convey will be released. Refreshing.

The reality that was managed with great difficulty in the first hour was completely impacted by the multiple dramatic events that followed in the next hour. All the criticism, the reflection of reality, and the discussion of social issues have all turned into contrived fussing in an instant.
