just finished watching a movie that doesn't catch your interest at first glance, it's not bloody violence, there's no sci-fi suspense, and it seems that twists and turns are optional. I gradually changed from the feeling of discomfort at first to the situation where I was unconsciously amused. Everything started from the summer of Hisaishi, a man with a blank face. Tomorrow is his summer vacation, and he lacks parents. He only lives with his grandmother. The decoration of the home is very typical of a small Japanese family. It is small and comfortable, comfortable and warm, but the only thing missing is the joyful laughter and the vigor that does not match the summer heat. But the little kid who can't be ignored and then invited other children to play with no results, started a journey to find the mother who left the family. Of course, this has nothing to do with Kijiro, it should be like this logically, but I don't know if the director did it intentionally. After all, many seemingly strange plots happened like this. Zheng Nan was "rescued" by his former neighbor's aunt after encountering a group of ruffians who didn't look bad. As a matter of course, let her submissive husband embark on the journey of sending a positive man to find his mother.
Of course, the unreliability of Uncle Ju is not a cover. There are several very funny scenes in the film. Uncle Good Gamble consciously walked into the bicycle gambling center with the travel expenses given by his wife and lost without any accident. At the last chance, he actually asked Zheng Nan for the lucky number at this time. "6, 3" is the number that Zheng Nan's inspiration came up with. After winning this grand prize again, luck will naturally slip away, but Zheng Nan has to face it. When the uncle asked about the numbers again and again, he looked forward with joy and scolded his face when he guessed the wrong prize, hehe.
Of course, the journey has to continue, and the journey to find my mother starts again. The uncle's actions this time seem to be taken for granted. He robbed the wallet of a pedophile uncle who almost molested the male, took a taxi, and then drove someone else's car on his own. Continue walking, stay in a suite in a luxury resort hotel, relax by swimming, and fish to relieve boredom. Even these little things are made ridiculous by the uncle's tricks. Here I want to mention the tattoo on the back of the uncle, a half-length body with blood stains on his face. The portrait, it should be a woman, this tattoo still brought a lot of impact to Zhengnan, maybe it was associated with his mother, which led to a terrible nightmare at night that was completely inconsistent with the style of the film, and when he woke up, he still opened his eyes Seeing the tattoo on the naked back of the uncle, I really didn't sleep well, but if you want to see any ups and downs on the face of the man, it's no use. Mom's existence has always been erratic. the truth.
Then, I came across a couple, a gradually elongated shot, the grassy slope with the words "into the forbidden" came into view, the uncle was juggling clumsily, the couple watched the children run around them in a circle, just like that I have been running all the time, all the activities that seem to be a little silly at this moment happened without any accident, maybe we are too complicated and forget that we have also had a smirk, doing something that lacks logic and makes no sense. Small games, but we have not forgotten, because at this moment, with the simple and bright piano sounds, everything is picked up again inadvertently.
Zhengnan and his party were placed in front of a small stop sign in a mountain village, a road that continued to extend outward, and apart from the large vegetation coverage, there were dots of people. These are the most common scenes in Japanese movies. You can find that the concepts of nature, people, and society are well combined without any sudden discomfort. Of course, the most important thing now is to find a car and continue on the road. The man's cuteness is no longer effective. The uncle had to go out in person and accompany the blind man. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. Afterwards, everyone was at a deadlock. The man had innocent eyes, and the uncle's shoulders were slumped. This time, he didn't have a ride, so he had to walk on the road.
I was rescued by a RV traveler from a foreign land, but I was not able to pierce the tires. There was a scene that attracted me. There were layers of books behind the front seat. This kind of journey with books may have forgotten loneliness in addition to being at ease. What is it? After getting off the car, Zheng Nan and his uncle came to a house where the address was located. Watching the young mother happily send off her husband and children, Zheng Nan must be doubting whether all this really happened. The child waited at the beach first, and he went to ask what was going on.
To no avail, or maybe because he didn't want the child to know the cruel facts, the uncle used the stolen angel bell to fabricate a man whose mother had left but left this bell with good wishes to him, hoping to comfort him, but ...
The story still has to develop, the uncle took the initiative to take the responsibility of continuing to take care of Zheng Nan. He took the child to the carnival, but this time he suffered a big loss and finally paid the price for his previous hooliganism. The child found the uncle. With blood all over his face, he ran away. It turned out to be going to a pharmacy to buy medicine. This time, he took care of the uncle. . . . . .
I ran into an ALICE friend in the cornfield, and then learned that Zheng Nan encountered such a sad incident and took on the responsibility of protecting Zheng Nan. He encountered the pair of bald and fat gangsters on the beach again, and everyone met naturally and started a game, "Together Play, for that child."
Accompanying octopus, learning from aliens, under the command of the uncle's serious expression, three people jumped or jumped, painted their faces all over their bodies, watermelon people, blindfolded and turned back to catch people who are still moving (I don't know how to describe it this game), swinging on a cesspit. . . . . .
At this moment, these adults have also discarded all the symbols that they should have as adults. Everyone only regards making children laugh as a top priority and earnestly fulfills it. Zheng Nan has a dream for the third time, but this time there are no ghosts, no terror, this time it is true In the game, with the uncles, it is really laughing.
The next day, the bald and fat brother were sent away, and then the donkey brother had to separate from them to continue his unfinished trip.
Only the uncle and the child are left,
"We are going to break up here too, let's go to your mother next time, be good."
"Thank you, sir."
"Take care of your mother-in-law." The
uncle walked away .
"Sir, what's your name?"
"Kiujiro, fuck it, get out.
" Only the home of my grandmother's only relatives, but the summer at this moment tells us that summer has really come.
The above is the general content of this film, a seemingly simple but very attentive film, revolving around the child's mind, and finally giving the child a bright ending. The process in the middle is a clumsy but very thoughtful interpretation by a group of adults , Of course, it brought us full of touching and gratification, "Kijiro's Summer", END.
