Lucky in misfortune, even if no one knows

I've always loved anything that gives me summer vibes. It is true that the cold and dry winter is not bad, and exhaling the white breath is one of the joys from childhood to adulthood; but it is still the hot summer that makes my heart tremble even more, even if it is sweaty. In Hirokazu Kore-eda's films and texts, it seems that summer can be smelled everywhere.

This afternoon, unintentionally but really intentionally, no one knew that it was Hirokazu-eda's 2004 movie after watching it. That child named Ming's eyes scorched into my eyes. He rarely smiles, and every time he smiles, my heart calms down. Such a child should be happy.

All children should be able to laugh and run unrestrainedly, without worrying about life, without worrying about tomorrow.

But he is not, his sister Kyoko is not, the taciturn Saki is not, and maybe Shigeru is not, because Shigeru is also growing up. The little cute little sister Xiaoxue is probably, there are many dolls to accompany her, one on the hand, one on the back, and the reliable Ming protects her, and Jingzi holds her hand when crossing the road, Most importantly, she passed away early. When her life ended when she was not familiar with the world, it was probably the greatest kindness that God could give her.

Their eyes were bright and transparent, but they rarely showed emotion, as if they were just watching. Mothers who don't understand responsibility, fathers who are indifferent and ruthless, lack of food and clothing, electricity and water supply, messy homes, sweat-bonded hair, dusty faces, they just look at this absurd and unbearable all, and suffer silently. Yes, without the slightest reproach.

People with good intentions passed their lives, their mother was gone and no plans to come back, the timid little sister in the store left without saying goodbye, and the new little brother started to help them again, like a baton The goodwill that has been passed down is just that one day the baton will fail, or it will eventually reach the end. Saki also entered their lives. Ming lost it on the way, but fortunately, it was finally found.

Mom has been away for more than a year. From the missed Christmas to the New Year and back to summer, it seems that the move has been a long, long time ago. Standing at the last street intersection, Ming looked up at the unbearably bright sky, and couldn't help but be stunned. Mao lightly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and he lowered his head and slammed into the eyes of a child with no emotion. He regained his senses and walked across the road with Shigeru, seeing the brisk figures of Jingzi and Saki in front of him.

Next, what kind of streets will they pass through, what kind of scenery will they encounter, and what kind of life will they endure? Fortunately, they are still together.

The life that no one knows is lonely and gray, and living with each other is probably the only consolation in this doomed lonely and gray life that can look at each other and smile. We've got nothing, but at least, but it's okay, I still have you, and you still have me.

Lucky in misfortune, even if no one knows.

    When I was burying my sister, there was a close-up of the trembling hands of my brother in the dark. They were the hands of a 12-year-old boy who slowly scattered soil on the box. The theme of death is moving once again. People who truly understand life will not turn their heads in the face of death, and truly brave people can find the strength to settle their lives even in constant loss, but when this kind of tenacity appears in these children who are unknown. , But it only makes people feel the cruelty of life

    feels awful. To express such a sad story in this small and fresh style, the heart is bleeding, and I want to cry without tears. There was only one tear in the film, still from a cruel mother. The most frightening is the words "adapted from a true story".
