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. .

    It was Hirokazu Kore-eda that simply dropped the level this time. Only because there is a basic story suspense, I was dragged to follow the plot. The whole is a mediocre commercial work, too elaborate, and I can't see it in the early years. Brilliant talent. What is worth emphasizing is his unique sense of humor with no trace of details, such as the two bitten straws, the shabby little electrical house with the words TOSHIBA and TSUTAYA written at the same time. ["Raising children is not a pitcher, but a catcher". Many of Fukuyama's characters are pitchers who pitch according to their own preferences. Lilly Frank's Xiongda is a catcher who will catch whatever the child throws. This line portrays two different kinds of fathers. Then why cut it in the end? Because I'm worried that this way, Yuda's image will be too handsome. 】——It's Hirokazu-eda "Things I Was Thinking When I Made a Movie"
