Come dry this bowl of boiled water

When the resource first came out last week, I was very surprised. When the long-awaited movie finally appeared, it always felt a little unreal. Thinking about it, it's been more than a year since I read Father Like Son with my iPad in my arms last year, but it still seems like yesterday's scene. Roughly two or three years ago, I have been paying attention to the three major film festivals, watching Japanese movies, and I can't say that I am a Japanese movie fan, let alone know that it is Hirokazu Koreeda. Think about the original intention of watching this movie, or because of Masaharu Fukuyama. I fell in love with Japanese dramas in the summer vacation of my freshman year of high school. I saw Bai Yexing from a kiss, and I liked Ayase Haruka, so I went to see Hotaru no Keigo Higashino's reasoning, so I saw the detective Galileo, and then I met Masaharu Fukuyama. . Last year was the time when I was the most obsessed with him, otherwise I wouldn't have watched it like a father as a son as soon as the subtitles came out.

I admit that I am a movie fan (pseudo) with a very low tear point. I cried like a dog for 33 days after watching a breakup in junior high school. The movie I cried recently was Time Traveler, but most of the movies I just shed two tears. Far too far, like father like son is the second worst movie I cry, the first is Sister Tao. In fact, watching a movie is about your own life, and it moves you, not because of how well filmed it is, or because it makes you cry, but because a certain part of the movie is connected with your heart, making you think about your own life, and thus will impress yourself.

I remember when Sister Tao recommended this movie, she said that it was difficult for him to look at this kind of movie rationally after becoming a father. In fact, it was just thinking of myself.

After talking for a long time, I haven't mentioned the Haijie diary.

The title I picked up at random was inspired by a word from a friend of mine. After recommending this movie to him, it was evaluated as a movie like "plain water". What a good evaluation.

In this era of countless choices, how many people still insist on drinking boiled water? You say you like heavy flavors, you can drink Coke Sprite Fanta; you say you like to drink, there are red and white beers; you say you want to be healthy, you choose apple juice carrot juice. How many people drink that tasteless boiled water just to quench their thirst.

Now the most popular is a large bowl of chicken soup, whether it is the real chicken soup with a mellow taste or the highly sought after poisonous chicken soup, it is the spokesperson of this era.

So I want to say, let's dry the bowl of boiled water in Haijie Diary.
It's Hirokazu Kore-eda's films that have always been about life and death and the kinship between people. Like father like son is probably the birth of sons in two families, their relationship with their own father. The beginning of Haijie's diary is the funeral of the father of the four sisters, and it is also the meeting of the three sisters with their half-sisters. The reason why this film is called boiled water is probably because it may be interpreted as a war of tears elsewhere. After all, the mother of the little sister is the third party between the parents of the three sisters. When it comes to Hirokazu Koreeda, it is no longer a problem. .

The four sisters have different personalities, but are very similar. The eldest sister not only plays the role of an older sister, but also a mother and a pillar of the family. The eldest sister is mature and quiet, the second sister is lively and cheerful, the third sister is a little strange but also very cute, and the younger sister is early and smart.

The history is always very similar, the father of the three sisters cheated and left home, the mother of the younger sister was a third party but it seems that the father cheated again, found a new wife, and formed a new family. Little sister loves her father very much, and may be the one with the deepest relationship with her father among the four sisters. Fishing with her father and eating the food made by her father are all indispensable memories for the little sister. In her father's last moments, it was also the younger sister who took care of her until her death.

The eldest sister has always been very mature at home, and only occasionally fights with her younger sister. The eldest sister is a nurse, and for some reason she has become a third party in someone else's family. When her lover wanted to take her to the United States, she chose to refuse, even though the second and third sisters supported her. The little sister inadvertently said to the eldest sister the things that she hates the most, and hurt the eldest sister invisibly. Compared with the eldest sister who seems to be less concerned about love, the second sister regards love as the first priority in her life, and it seems that every relationship is the one she loves the most. She also persuaded the little sister to fall in love quickly~

She said, "Hurry up and find one, your world will be different, even a boring job can be endured." For her, love is to get rid of boring life the greatest significance.
From this point of view, it seems that the third sister is the best in love among the three sisters. Although she likes a geek with instant noodles, a sloppy figure, and an avid mountaineering enthusiast, the two of them have an indescribable combination, which is very strange.
The most important roles should be the eldest sister and the younger sister. The film also focuses on depicting their lives, and the others are taken over by one stroke. Otherwise, according to the various branches of the four sisters, the director can completely make it into a TV series.

The little sister transferred to Kamakura with the three sisters, met new friends, and had someone she liked (the little boy really looks like Yi Yang Qianxi...), with three sisters, started a new life, lost after the father.
I think this movie records the most beautiful years of Hirose Sisi. There are too many beautiful moments. She tied up her bangs and showed her clean forehead and played football on the grass. On her face, she looked like she was eating delicious food.

This is what youth looks like, what a girl looks like. Admirable youth.

There are also many touching details in the film, the grandmother's aging, the four sisters making plum wine together, the eldest sister helping the younger sister to measure her height, smiling and saying "the bell is not very high", and engraving the younger sister's height on the pillar , so the heights of the four sisters are all there. There is also the sea cat cafeteria where the three sisters often go. The proprietress has witnessed the growth of the three sisters and the younger sister joining the family.

The mother of the three sisters also chose to leave after their father cheated and left home, leaving behind the three sisters. At the time of my father's funeral, my mother came back. The second and third sisters seemed to feel very fresh and wanted to get close to their long-lost mother, but the eldest sister was very resistant. The most intense part of the film is that the eldest sister and her mother had a dispute. The eldest sister blamed her mother for leaving them, but her mother kept blaming her father for cheating, and the little sister on the side was very embarrassed.
In Hirokazu Kore-eda's film, it seems that relatives can always be forgiven. The mother met her daughter when she went up the mountain to pay homage to her father, so during a journey up the mountain, both of them opened up their hearts. Unconsciously, the daughter also forgave her mother. . When the mother left, she also invited the three sisters to play at her home. Although they were close but distant, the eldest sister finally waved goodbye to her mother.

Probably only a mild Japanese could make such a bland movie. Let me yearn for Kamakura, the sea, the kimono, the fireworks, the delicious food, and the four sisters.

My favorite is the scene of the four sisters playing fireworks in the courtyard


together, watching the beach
together and chatting in the courtyard.
Everything is so beautiful.

In my eyes, this movie can be considered perfect, and it also satisfies my heart for the sisters. Imagine, after all, I always wanted a sister, like the big sister in the movie.

The only downside is that it is probably too mellow and complete. The director wants to express too much, but the two-hour movie can't contain so many plots anyway. And all the contradictions in the movie seem to be turned into water and disappear, everything is friendly and peaceful, but how can it be so perfect in reality?

Although I haven't watched many movies this year, I'm embarrassed to comment on the top ten of the year, but this movie should be my favorite in 2015. After watching it, I was born, "Ah, it's him!" a feeling. In the future, if you can, you must go to Kamakura, do nothing, just find a yard to lie down, occasionally go out to eat delicious food, go to the beach to blow the sea breeze, and take a train to see the scenery.
