There is so much to explore in this film. The memories of each person in the film, the discussion, exploration and perception of human nature through memories, etc., I think these are the hot topics of the audience's discussion.

In my opinion, this is the pinnacle of a love movie based on a documentary. It's Hirokazu-eda's imagination in this film that reaches a breathtaking height, it's simply too clever. And this amazing ingenuity gave the audience a sudden insight, and it ended lightly.

I want to cry. . .
Did not have time.

What he took away was the loneliness without her, the only way to leave her with the last gaze. She watched this last stare to know that he had left her in his memory.

    The photography is well-lit, and the strong beam in the dark room has a film-like quality to it at many moments. Too many long shots and it's tiring to watch. Trivial memories are the most lifelike, wearing a red dress to dance for my brother in the restaurant to eat chicken rice, sleeping on my mother's lap in the afternoon, flying a plane in the sky for the first time and seeing clouds like cotton candy, when I was nine years old, the whole family Take refuge in the bamboo forest swinging for dinner. It's all too Japanese-style and fresh.

    Compared with the study-based "Phantom Light", Shizhi made a lot of adjustments in the second feature film, original script, amateur performance, and invited the senior documentary photographer Yamazaki Yu (later almost became a fixed match). Contrary to the "fantasy complex" that many people have interpreted according to the plot, it is Zhi who refers more to the style of TV dramas during the period of documentaries and live broadcasts. It can be said that this is the field he is more familiar with and good at.

After Life quotes

  • Kenji Yamamoto, who wants to forget his past: Say I choose a memory, from when I was eight or ten years old. Then I'll only remember how I felt back then? I'll be able to forget everything else? Really? You can forget? Well, then that really is heaven.
