remember and forget

Today I finally finished the next stop, the Kingdom of Heaven.
The feeling after watching it is: To be honest, I don't understand why Hirokazu Koreeda is so to my taste.
When I read "The Speed ​​of Walking", I have been preparing to watch this movie that he highly recommends. After watching it quietly in class, my phone ran out of power as soon as I was attracted to it, and after I watched it at night, my bedroom was powered off and my computer ran out of power, and then it was put on hold due to various reasons. I finally finished it tonight.
The sigh here is not relieved, but still unfulfilled.
What kind of movie is this.
Next, I'm going to start my irresponsible self-play speech, I'll argue if I don't agree, anyway, I'll talk first.
It's filming technique is not very delicate due to the influence of Hirokazu Koreeda's documentary period, but it has a sense of free and easy and poetic beauty. . The dappled sunlight that casts into the house through the window creates a sense of tranquility and warmth, whether it is projected on the wall or on the person who chooses to remember, and this blends wonderfully with the film's originally sad theme. together.
In fact, at the beginning of watching this film, I couldn't determine its emotional tone, because its beginning did not match its title, creating a feeling of a professional film about an office. There was a hellish feeling again. But as the film got noisier, I realized that maybe it should be a warm film.
It is also warm, and it is a little different from the current film of Hirokazu Koreeda. Now the film of Hirokazu Koreeda is closer to life. But this one may be labeled as a fairy tale. It is an imagination of human beings after death. After death, we will reach a place, choose a memory, let this memory reproduce, and live in this memory. I think this movie makes us involuntarily put in and think, if it's you, then your choice is
The most interesting thing about this film for me is that it has created a variety of distinct characters. In the less than 120 minutes of the feature film, we seem to know a lot of people, and these people will bring a sense of familiarity, because They exist like the old uncles and grandmothers living in my neighborhood, and they appear naturally.
Naturally, I think it is Hirokazu Koreeda's greatest strength.
Even if it is a slightly fairy-tale theme, he will present it as if it were real life. Therefore, it will unknowingly take the initiative to substitute, and then think and worry.
Actually, I don't think it's the most important memory to choose. The important thing is the process of recalling, and in the process of recalling, you will continue to realize that these are the things that I am about to forget. The selected memory will be remembered forever, but should the unselected memory be forgotten? In the process of reminiscing, you feel once again in your life, such and such fragments, as if you have experienced a life again. They say, let you remember like this, the reason for this choice is to let you remember the memory that you want to remember forever, and then you can live in this memory, but at the same time, it is also to let you recall, and then let you Forgetting, because most of the memories you recall are memories waiting to be forgotten.
But ah, no matter how painful and frustrating the memory is, I don't want to forget it. So, I will not make a choice for reasons.
For the dead, these memories may be all of him. Is it cruel that you let him choose and then forget? But there is such a piece of memory that we cherish, we carefully selected, can be remembered by us forever, and then live in it, is it happiness again?
Said cruel and cruel, said happiness is also happy. That's why I love you so much, director Hirokazu Koreeda.
The film tells us at the end that everything is optional, including not choosing.
Finally, don't forget, the next stop, the kingdom of heaven, but this stop, you are still here, living. I think that's what matters



In fact, I watched Europa's "Absence" for a while after I finished writing the post last night. I happened to see the film review about the next stop, the Kingdom of Heaven, in the catalogue. I wanted to watch it very much, but I still think about it. Write your own real feelings and then read it.
Actually, I'm not really good at writing film reviews, but I always feel very happy that I can shout my opinions out loud like this now.
Finally, Iura's new legs are really long.
Thank you for reading.

  • 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.
