Suffering has to be chewed by oneself

After reading, it is Hirokazu-eda that is deeper than the sea.

I've been sad for a long, long time...I want to cry and have been unable to cry.

This movie is really sad.

I saw a lot of things in the film, the writing is super ugly, sloppy, the dark skin caused by the wind and the sun, gambling, beards, love to lie, stealing family money, shirk responsibility.

But just like that, he lived to middle age, to get married, to have a family and children, and to live to get divorced.

Life is a long ordeal.

It was like my father himself, a gambler, scruffy, often tanned, unshaven, shirking responsibilities, and even stealing money from my mother and grandma.

Unlike in this movie, they haven't divorced yet.

Fortunately, I was admitted to university and escaped from this desperate home as soon as possible.

It's mentioned several times in the movie that you don't want to be someone like your father.

Yes, I don't want to either.

And I never wanted to.

I still remember that when I was a child, I went out to play with my classmates. Many parents of classmates said that you were not allowed to play with her like his father.

I still remember it, so I don't want to be like my dad.

Never want to.

When I was young, my father was prone to domestic violence. He beat my mother and me. I have witnessed my father forcing my mother with a kitchen knife, and I have also seen my father smash the glass on the door to unlock the door in order to beat my mother.

After that I became alienated from him and basically didn't speak. Now too.

I stubbornly hated my dad for 18 years.

After being persuaded by the psychological counselor for a long time at school, I was finally willing to take the initiative to accompany him to sit down for dinner and chat.

The teacher asked me, does your father love you?

I thought about it and kept crying.

Love, he loves me.

I was a picky eater since I was a child, and my dad promised me 50 yuan for eating an egg in order to make me eat eggs that I didn't like.

Running around in the snow in winter, I came home so cold that I couldn't feel it, and I couldn't feel it when I put it on the heater. My dad put my frozen feet on his stomach.

I never thought it was love before, until I was in a relationship, I ran a circle on the ground or something I forgot, in short, my feet were cold, and I used to put it on my boyfriend's stomach.

He didn't cover my feet like my dad did.

Push me away, your feet are cold, you are sick.

There is a scene in the movie. Many people have no money this month. They managed to control themselves not to gamble on racing cars, but they were deducted tens of thousands of yuan by the boss. But the day he agreed to meet the child came again, and he took the child to buy shoes.

Knowing that he didn't have much money, the child picked up a pair of shoes that he had long admired, put them down, and looked at a pair that was relatively cheap. When he said I wanted this, Dad told him to be polite. If you were polite to Dad, just buy the most expensive one!

If people really have fetters, it must be deeper than the sea.

My dad went out to gamble when I was a kid and lost a lot of money. He didn't have enough money to pay it back. He stole the only savings my mom had saved, and he also stole my grandma's money to pay off the debt.

After my mother found out, my father's salary card and all the money belonged to my mother, and it is still the same to this day.

So my father has no money.

But every time I'm at school, I want to tell my dad, what's my dad doing lately? When my dad says happy holidays, my dad always gives me red envelopes.

I know my dad knows that I hate him very much, and I also know that he is probably afraid that if he doesn't send a red envelope, I might not come to greet him proactively in the future.

He is always trying to use money to maintain the love we have just established. I don't know what to say. Every time I open the red envelope, I feel very uncomfortable.

Thinking of the movie, my grandmother said to my daughter-in-law, I'll give you the umbilical cord for safekeeping, but his words are too ugly.

My dad is ugly too

Ugly enough that I still remember how ugly it was

Primary school exam papers always have to be signed by parents, I don't know why I can remember it so clearly.

My dad has to be very serious every time and sign his signature stroke by stroke. If you write ugly, you will erase it with an eraser and write it again.

Of course, I did it for the parents to sign later. There is no font that a pupil with poor grades cannot learn.

If there is, it will also be beaten a few times.

There is another part of the movie, which is very impressive.

Many take their sons to buy lottery tickets, and after being found out by the hostess, they reprimand them, don't contaminate your children with your bad habits.

These words seem familiar, my dad used to want to teach me how to play mahjong. I don't know what happened, but the first time I played the game, my luck was surprisingly good, and I beat my dad.

Later, my dad stopped teaching me about it, and I didn't want to play mahjong.

You can also consider the noodles you eat.

In life, many people always shirk their responsibilities.

like someone who didn't grow up

I don't want to take responsibility for what I did wrong, and I always pass it off to others immediately.

The heroine saw through this and divorced.

These are the lines my mom used to use when I was arguing with my dad.

So I think Hirokazu Kore-eda is really a very good director.

Grandma's acting skills exploded, making people feel like crying when they saw her.

anyhow

Sending happiness to the opportunity brought by the typhoon is probably more difficult than winning the lottery.

The saddest thing is that life has to go on, and suffering has to be chewed by oneself, and the movie is only 120 minutes
