This is the first time I have watched a film directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. After watching it, I was deeply touched and had too many things to say. I couldn't help writing a long review before I made up the previous film. "Deeper than the Sea" has a little bit of desolation and helplessness in life. The film insists on using film to shoot very clean pictures, plain linear narrative, and delicate family emotional expression. It can be said to be the ultimate realm. The story of the film mainly revolves around a family, in which the male protagonist plays the roles of both a son and a father. At the beginning, the male protagonist, who was a bit useless, worked as a private detective, loved gambling, talked big, and was divorced, let me I can't help but think of Maori Kogoro in "Detective Conan", but unlike the exaggerated cartoon image of Maori Kogoro, the real life is much sadder for such a person. In real life, you can see such nothing and bad habits everywhere. There are a lot of middle-aged men. His ex-wife commented that he was not suitable for family. He really looked like a child. His career was not reliable. No more turbulence. The male protagonist, Shinoda, is such an adult who is difficult to be reassured. He often says: "I was born late", and often quibble about his gambling: "You are fighting with six thousand people across the country. Thousands of racing fans are the enemy." However, no one could hope to see his life in a downturn that would not happen miracles. It is precisely such a person, but there is still a bright spot. It is reflected in the details of life that are difficult to detect. He will struggle a bit, try to be filial and give money to his mother, secretly care about his son behind his back, and buy famous brand shoes for his son. He is so short of money that he has no such economic foundation, and one night he will write down "Where did I go wrong in my life." He will also reflect on himself in this way, but it is useless. Most of us ordinary people, in fact, go to Even if you die, you can't break free from your own cage. Even if you know what's trapping you, you can't do anything about it. Even so, those moments of struggle shine through. The characters are very vivid, including the dead father of the male protagonist who never showed up, and he has a complete three-dimensional image through the mouths of others, including my favorite lovely grandma: ——Then help me buy a house, I To three bedroom. - No need, I was born late. - That's too late. At the same time, through the mouth of the protagonist, it was Hirokazu Koreeda who told many truths about life: "Making friends is just adding more people to the funeral." "Being the adult you want to be is not that simple." "Adult light You can't live without love." "At this age, I haven't said that I love who is deeper than the sea. Many people haven't said it, but I'm still happy every day. Live at heart. "..." "Deeper than the Sea" is very worth watching. Its realistic family life in oriental culture does not resonate too much: including the subtle dialogue between men and women after divorce, the male protagonist winning the lottery The fantasy, the mutual blame between the younger brother and the elder sister, the loneliness and thoroughness of the grandmother alone, all make people feel familiar, as if they have seen themselves in life. The story does not have strong dramatic conflicts, but it implies extremely high narrative skills. The final typhoon The coming night is the sublimation part of the whole film, and it is also an inadvertent node in life. "Now that I have decided, let me let go and move forward. "Two people who are obviously kind and like each other, after all, are not suitable for living together, there is no possibility of turning back, the real ordinary life is like this, it will not have a sudden reversal, it is often just a day of helplessness. A day crawling by like ants, some are a moment of realization and decision, moved and sad, that moment is the feeling of being alive. This kind of oriental narrative is very subtle and restrained, but it gives you a strong strength to face up to your own. Life and ordinary, let you see the cruel reality, life is like a mustard, but it is born to death.
