You have to watch me grow old day by day.

No one knew why, but it was uncontrollably sad.

It's about a peaceful life, a story that's too slow and long, too close to the world we live in. The real, warm tingling sensation is suppressed, yet inexplicably moving.

I like that grandma, who always has a playful tone, and said a long list of seemingly simple words, but hidden sadness and philosophical thoughts. In fact, it's not slow, but maybe life will become easier if you don't know much about everything.

"I said, you have to be by my side and watch me grow old day by day."

"The so-called happiness is something that can only be obtained by not giving up. I have lived to this age, but I have never loved a person deeper than the sea."

"Don't be so lonely."

"What about you, do you have one?"

"Me, that's what happened."

"Ordinary people don't have it, but everyone still lives happily. No, it's because they don't have it that they can live and be so happy."

"It's complicated."

"It's very simple, life is actually very simple."

    The last thing I don't know is how to face such a movie, in front of it, all my martial arts will be useless. You will think of all people, all the similarities of fate. So complicated and so simple, there is nothing deeper than the sea.

    I saw "Deeper than the Sea" at 26 at the crossroads of life, thank you again Hirokazu-eda. I didn't become the ideal self that I thought about many times in my heart when I was a child, and the people I loved were really no deeper than the sea. It's really bad, life. But once the typhoon passes, the usual remains. At this age, I was reminded one after another by many things, and I began to accept the feeling of powerlessness as an adult.

After the Storm quotes

  • Shinoda Yoshiko: I wonder why it is that men can't love the present. Either they just keep chasing whatever it is they've lost... or they keep dreaming beyond their reach.

  • Shinoda Ryôta: The lottery isn't gambling.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: Of course it is.

    Shinoda Ryôta: No, it is not.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: What is it, then?

    Shinoda Ryôta: It's a dream. A dream you buy for 300 Yen.
