Students who have not been exposed to "campus bullying" to a certain extent may not feel so profound. It's not that I can't understand "campus bullying". After reading it, it's probably "Hey~ So there is such a thing!" This kind of "surprise" is greater than the feeling of thinking about the problem.
The details of some of the characters in the movie are also great! It can arouse the audience's feelings very much. In fact, people who probably know the direction of the story will also be attracted by the details in the plot! I will not reveal the specifics, after all, it has not been released in China.
Then there is the unique Japanese culture of "considering others". People who don't know much about Japanese culture may think: Are these people a little too neurotic?
In fact, Japanese dramas, Japanese comics, and Japanese dramas have all shown it. The culture of "Japanese people take other people's feelings into consideration and try not to cause trouble to others" is really frustrating. Let me tell you an example of myself, because I am very influenced by Japanese culture. I used to take the bus to class, and an old man came up. I wanted to give up my seat. The old man said no and let me sit. Then I said: I'll get off at the next stop (in fact, there are still many stops), you can take a seat. Then the old man sat down in my place. Then the next stop came and I got off. What I was thinking at the time was: I just said that I will get off at the next stop. If I don't get off the bus, the old man will find out that I gave up my seat to take care of him, and he will feel bad about it. Therefore, even if there was only a slight possibility that the old man had concerns, I still chose to get off the bus. That's how I was influenced by the Japanese culture of "considering others". The Japanese are like this, they are a little sick to think about others.
Japan had one thing before, a statement on Twitter. A girl wants to commit suicide, because she is afraid that others will think that she committed suicide because of school bullying and affect her teachers and classmates. She even considers that after her suicide, the money for her funeral will be a burden on her parents, and then she goes to work by herself Make your own money before committing suicide. Generally speaking, I don't want to live anymore, what else do I care about, what does it have to do with me when I die and let him fall apart. However, the Japanese do not want to cause trouble to others even if they die. The Japanese culture of "considering others" is so profound that it makes people feel sick. (Don't think I'm citing a special case, if you are interested, you can go to the Internet to find examples of this, and you will know that this culture is real and widely applicable to Japanese)
In this movie, if you can't understand this kind of " Taking care of others" Japanese culture, you may not understand the extreme impulses of the male and female protagonists in the movie.
In general, compared to the "moving" movies, there are more problems with the point of "school bullying", and I feel that there will be more problems. Of course, inspiration is also indispensable. Well~ the key is to understand the two situations mentioned above, so that you can understand what this movie wants to express. So why is it recommended rather than strongly recommended, this theatrical version needs to understand a certain Japanese culture as a basis. If you often watch Japanese dramas, Japanese comic students may understand it better. Some classmates who come here because they don't know much about Japan may not feel so deeply.
What I learned in the movie is that saying "thank you" is a better way of expressing yourself and the other person than saying "sorry". I also learned a few gestures in sign language, such as "I'm sorry", "I want to be friends with you" and so on.
