"Deeper than the Sea" once again aroused my affection for Japan and curiosity about Hirokazu-eda. Similar to the tone of "Haijie Diary" and "The Thief's Family", the whole movie is full of powerlessness. Watching his movies is demanding on the environment and must be very quiet. It is better to watch the movie alone. The scene that impressed me the most was a family of three searching in vain for the lottery ticket called "dream" in a storm. The next day I continued to go to work with the sun. The director didn't deliberately exaggerate anything, but I don't know why after watching it, I felt like the residual temperature in the thermos could not dissipate for a long time. The three works are all tragedies, but even the tragedies can still live a warm life. Maybe it's the iced plum juice and sauce noodles made by grandma, or maybe it's the tower climbing game invented by dad. It is these kind people who make the boring and hopeless life a little more transition, and use their own temperature to resist the tragedy of the world. Words such as tragedy and nothingness are frequently used by me, and the more I use them, the more ambiguous I am about these words.
"I have made a decision, we will all work hard to live in the future"
"Well, no. I've been trying to live"
"I'm an adult, how can I live on love alone"
"I am so old, but I will never love someone deeper than the sea"
When these lines came out, I suddenly knew that I was wrong. It turned out that the director was more pessimistic than I thought.
