4.5 stars Hirokazu Koreeda, who has a deep

relationship with Taiwan, came to Taiwan for the Kaohsiung Film Festival, and he also went north to do the director's backstage, which is limited to two shows. A story structure with a simple or even general plot that can be predicted in advance, under the guidance of Hirokazu Koreeda, it completely becomes another unique appearance. It is slow and plain, and it is built through many small details. Several times Keita's sad expression, her mother is delicate. The gentle hugs are the perfect time to let the tears flow. The movie is not sensational at all, but it will slowly ferment, slowly nose sour, and finally choose to embrace the helpless sadness.

It was Hirokazu Koreeda who still gave a seemingly warm ending at the end of the movie. It is not so much a story about holding the wrong child, it is better to radiate out from the center of Masaharu Fukuyama. The family issues he needs to face, whether it is right or wrong The fostered Keita; the biological Liu Qing, to the weak wife; to the elderly father; to the warm stepmother. When the film came to Masaharu Fukuyama's understanding and confession, the story did not even explain where the two children would go, and how the two families would handle themselves in the future, because the director had already finished telling his story, and the ceremony of Masaharu Fukuyama's family revelation had also been completed. .

    I can't do it, I can't stand the walk in the bushes at last. It is Hirokazu Edema that is too good, the role relationship is as precise as a pinball with a planned route, and every dialogue in every scene is just right. I would rather think that this is not craftsmanship, but a precise observation of real life. Many people accuse him of excessive warmth. It is true that warmth is his constraint, but it is also his energy.

    It's not good in Hirokazu-eda's works. I believe that the award was given to him by Mrs. Kawase Naomi... The theme is his consistent theme of "building a new 'post-imagined community'". In the way of family drama, Masaharu Fukuyama is too stealing for the show (it has nothing to do with acting, but the script revolves around him almost as a single person), I think it's a lot of helplessness. It's Uncle Zhi, don't you stop filming children's games, okay?
