lighter than the wind and deeper than the sea

Nothing really, but it's all there. Ordinary and calm, there are countless moving emotions hidden in the rivers that seem to be as relaxed as the little bits of life. The old mother in the old house is still trying to make her powerless living alone a little more lively; the middle-aged dreamer who is separated from his wife and ion is still holding high and cold dreams and living a despised life like an ant. Life... A wife who wants to move forward with love, a son who seems to be silent but secretly cares about his father, and even an unworthy grandfather who has passed away but has repeatedly intervened in his dreams... Life and reality and ideals and feelings , circulating on the road of the world, no one lives in heaven, but the little emotions in the dark are gradually deeper than the sea. The lives of all the characters throughout the film are broken, but when these pieces are put together, they become a complete family. As a film friend said: "It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who made the daily life into the universe", the director and the actors used calm power, soothing and heavy, like the undercurrent fiddling with seaweed, shaking people's deepest resonance. 9 points!

    The play is too powerful! The plot is not based on events, but is a paste, sticking to the protagonist who can't break up with everything, and the more "clumped" (to his ex-wife, Yiyi, his children, and his obsession with his face), but he has no money and no strength to carry it. The account of life, but the years do continue, so everything about watching movies is more and more perfect. Maybe it can be called the structure is prudent, but Teresa Teng fans preemptively marked the audience's foot: "Life is very simple!"

    The first one I watched was Hirokazu Koreeda. While watching it, I kept thinking of the two young ladies who had the greatest influence on me in the past few years. Their works and Hirokazu Koreeda can be said to be in the same line. Abe Hiroshi is really a perfect interpretation of "how helpless it is to fall in love with an incompetent person, and how sad it is to be loved by an incompetent person", and "it is never easy to be the person you want to be when you are young", which is really ploughing When I think about it, the more I think about it, the more my heart breaks.

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.
