three scenes

When a family of three eats at a restaurant, Yukari's mother goes to pay the bill. Many ask about the situation in Housi's school, and mention the fact that Housi laughed after the rabbit died, and Housi said calmly: "It's just funny. Ah, Reina wants us to write letters to the dead rabbit, but how can the rabbit read it?"

Being exposed to the death of a loved one prematurely makes Houji more fully aware of the cruelty of death than ordinary children or even adults. Many want to communicate with his stepson and talk about the situation at school in a relaxed manner, but Houji's calmness and even ruthlessness caught him off guard. . The subtle atmosphere is revealed through many wandering eyes, and the harmonious atmosphere between father and son at a table behind many sets off the awkwardness and awkwardness of many first-time fathers.

The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere when frying corn tempura made many who were originally very resistant to going home can't help laughing. Many clearly realized that the untimely death of his brother made the best of him imprinted in the hearts of his parents, and many, as the second son, could never replace and surpass his brother.

The scene changed, and many came to my brother's former room. The things in the room were still well preserved, and many threw baseballs to look around the room that belonged to the young man. The most striking thing in the room is naturally the poster of JOY DIVISON. As a rock band active in the 1970s, they are known for their gloomy and pessimistic style, and the suicide of lead singer Lan Curtis at the age of 23 may also hint at his brother's die prematurely.

Many families and their mother-in-law went up the mountain to sweep the tomb of their elder brother. Different from the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere of the cemetery in ordinary film and television works, the group went to sweep the tomb at noon when the sun was the best. The beautiful scenery along the way and the bright flowers in the cemetery made the cemetery a whole The brightest scene in the movie. The most interesting thing is the state of the mother-in-law. She solemnly put on coral-colored lipstick, not like sweeping the grave of the black-haired person, but more like a guest. The passage of time will dilute the extreme grief caused by the death of a loved one, but the memory and love for the loved one can be preserved. Faced with her son who passed away 15 years ago, a mother just wants to chat like in the past every time she sweeps the grave, and still wants her son to see her most beautiful appearance.

two characters

YOU is really suitable for playing the role of an older problem girl. The mother who abandoned her child in pursuit of love in "Nobody Knows", and the little sister-in-law who is a little bit selfish and a little bit selfish in "Never Stop" all rely on her lazy and hoarse voice, frozen-age appearance and natural demeanor. Compared with her sister-in-law's standard housewife's dress, Qian Nami is like a young girl who has not yet left the cabinet. The girl's bangs hairstyle, chiffon clothes and coquettish demeanor are all youthful. When she returns to her parents' home, she seems to be the only girl in the family who is favored by her parents. .

The most impressive thing is probably the conversation between Qian Nami and her father in the clinic. When opening the door, she playfully used her mouth to make two "dong dong" sounds, and the laziness and coquettish tone of relying on the door frame throughout the whole process is really a little girl's temperament. The coquettish hatred in her parents’ house is in stark contrast to Qian Nami’s own calculation and shrewdness, and it also makes people sigh that time can change a person silently, and the girl’s house in the boudoir will one day become a reality that is preoccupied with her own family. housewife.

The mother-in-law played by Shu Xilin is probably the most complicated in the whole film, and also the character that best reflects the Japanese character. She takes care of her husband's macho mentality, and everything goes according to his wishes; she pays attention to etiquette, kneeling at the entrance to wait for many families when they open the door; she pays attention to details, prepares toothbrushes for many families in advance, and eats every meal according to the Delicious food utensils for the preparation of ingredients... She has all the good qualities of the Japanese, and the cruelty of the Japanese style is also reflected in her.

Japan still retains the death penalty, and death row inmates often spend decades or even half their lives in prison before the final execution, in order to allow prisoners to accept the inevitable death penalty when they realize the value of life and hope for a commutation of the sentence. . It can be said that the old woman in the film has a similar cruelty.

She can make the child who was rescued by the eldest son, that is, the 25-year-old young man who seems to be treated politely but ruthlessly humiliated year after year on the day of his son's death, and can also sing a song after decades. Jazz told her husband indifferently that he knew about his affair... A seemingly inadvertent blow to the heart hurts the most. Years of grievances are usually covered up by a peaceful life, but they can also erupt ruthlessly at the slightest moment.
