Is it to follow the English translation of Like Father, Like Son? Completely ditched the Japanese title [そしてFather になる] (literally "then he became a father", a deeper paraphrase probably means that both families had to meet some consternation due to the incident of holding the wrong baby in the film , pain, and perhaps there is no shortage of surprises) the quiet impact of the rush and warmth that the first time brought us.
Not to mention the little family translations like "My Accidental Dad" and "Who Changed My Father" in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The artistic level of the entire film, like most Japanese films, is a combination of frame-by-frame Japanese photography, light and beautiful.
Not to mention, I really, really like the Muji-style style of the couple's home, with few colors and clean lines.
Secondly, although the theme is enough to rank among the top five in the history of movies at first glance: two couples had the wrong child in the hospital many years ago, but director Nai He's narrative temperament is really calm, very, very calm, like a person talking to you with his mouth open If the story, his speed of speech and breathing posture make you very comfortable, then no matter whether the story is fresh or not, you will get more or less bonus points.
In short, it really makes you really hate every scene and every line of dialogue.
The cast members are doing very well. I am no stranger to the two leading actresses. They once starred together in a very warm and fresh Japanese drama "The Perfect Divorce" that I personally like very much. There is also another father role besides Fukuyama Masaharu, all played very lightly and just right.
In this movie, there is no need for a group show where everyone struggles hard and fiercely fights each other. To say that the character's psychology is more complicated and profound, it is the hero Masaharu Fukuyama alone, so the other "Green Leaves" starring, deal with it properly is good.
The male protagonist represents a father who is smart, calm, and taciturn and efficient within the scope of kind human nature. There are actually many in the real world, such as my father.
So I looked at it and thought of my dad. I generally call this type of dad, the cool-toned dad.
The so-called warm-toned father is the kind of father of another electrical appliance store owner in the film. Delicate, warm, and trivial, no matter how old he is, he is a warm-hearted old boy with a good temper. He mixes with his own children. He has to go crazy with children in the bath, and roll happily with children in the playground, better than anyone else. Repair children's toy cars and remote control planes.
It seems that kids all over the world love this warm-toned dad, except me.
I just like Masaharu Fukuyama and my own cool-toned dad, what the hell.
Take one of the episodes in the film that I am particularly impressed with: a
child who participated in a piano competition, with an average level, sat next to his parents when he returned to the stage, and sighed peacefully at another outstanding little girl on the stage: "Really It's amazing."
Then, the strong father couldn't help but ask the child: "Qingduo, won't you be unwilling? If you don't want to play better, it's pointless to continue playing." The
mother protected the child and retorted Dad: "Not everyone can work as hard as you."
Dad immediately replied: "It's like trying not to work hard."
Mom expressed her weakness a little sadly: "Some people, even if they want to work hard, they can't work hard." (meaning Refers to herself)
and then my mother said: "We celebrate this, we must be like me."
Is it soft? It's a good thing for a child's character, right?
Not to mention some of the life rules that the protagonist proposes to the children are really good: for
example, bathing must be done alone and quietly. Do not bite the straw when drinking. Before going to bed, as long as my father is at home, I must go to my father to say good night. ......
Maybe it will make us feel harsh and wronged for a while, but after a long time, it becomes a habit, and it is still more beneficial.
In this world, it is really not easy for us to be extraordinary, and having a father with a cool tone may be able to polish us into a lonely and agile personality within the scope of not really hurting us.
If you can't be very good, at least you can be very lonely, and you can be considered a little extraordinary.
In addition to showing the endless loneliness in the hero's heart, the film also does not forget to explore the cause and source of this cold-colored father.
In the scene where the kite is being flown in the riverside clearing, the actor said this: "When I was little, my dad was the kind of dad who wouldn't fly kites with children." The
implication is that this is why, now I Become a father who does not fly kites with his children.
In a condensed sentence, it is: "I" became such a father because when "I" was a child, my father was a father like me now, a little... Everything is a cycle, it is true Makes sense.
The only thing I don't really like is the ending of the movie.
The cool-toned male protagonist played by Uncle Masaharu Fukuyama, who emphasizes efficiency in everything, was finally forced to the track of great perfection by the plot.
After the child left his home, he saw the child secretly photographing him sleeping with a camera, and finally knew that the child wanted to be close to him; he ran after the child and told the child: "I may not be good enough, but I still Your father." Then, he cried, yes, in order to be consummated, in order to be touching, he must cry with such a cool-toned character.
Why is it always set like this? Everyone has different roles, and each has its own personality, right? Why always follow a ritual-like thing to painstakingly create an atmosphere of tears.
Weird people, like me, don't like it.
I want to say that in the real world, there are no good fathers and not good fathers at all. There are only cool fathers and warm fathers.
