The Yamada family brings a new Japanese breeze. Instead of taking the realistic route, he uses light and concise colors and lines like Chinese ink painting to outline the simple shapes and expressions of the characters, which is not inferior to conveying the inner emotions of the characters.
Like a gust of Japanese breeze.
The animation is approaching realism all the way, and the light and shadow are extremely beautiful. Like a camera. Remember when photography first appeared, people mistakenly thought that painting had no way out. But after that, both painting and photography took a new path. Art appeals to emotion, regardless of whether it is realistic or not.
The movements and expressions of Japanese-style animations often have specific routines. For example, Ikyu I watched when I was a child. The appearance of his speech, walking and eating is still similar to Hayao Miyazaki. The Yamada family is a very unique one. There are no mechanical movements, and the meticulous expression depends entirely on the power of simple painting to outline the characteristics. Each character is unique.
Use Basho haiku to make a number of life fragments connected, so that the ordinary life scenes, produce beautiful feelings. This is the Japanese nation that perceives beauty from ordinary life and knows how to appreciate the beauty of cherry blossoms that wither after the most beautiful - telling a nation with such a story.
Careful understanding in ordinary life, finding beauty in small things, accepting even if it is not perfect, and living like this, this is Zen. And Zen is ubiquitous in the life of this nation, which is the biggest feeling this movie brings to me.
