Compared with putting down the mobile phone, the first step that this movie requires the audience to do when watching the movie is to put down the three views. Ordinarily it shouldn't be said, but this is my first reaction to this film after seeing more and more questions about the moral character and code of conduct of the protagonists of literary and artistic works - of course At this moment, facing the emotional entanglement of the protagonist, the pictures are colorful, and what I actually thought of was to warn me to let go of my three views, maybe I have already stared into the abyss, and I have been stared into the abyss for too long.

In fact, the film is still the family model of Hirokazu Koreeda, but this time it adopts a deconstruction model, adding more complex interpersonal relationships, and social and moral concept plots - to be honest, there is an EASY model that has been adjusted to a HARD model after too long. A demon king who has shed a lot of blood is still the same demon king.

I don't want to comment too much on the director's life and experience, these other professional film critics are more professional. So back to the movies.

At the beginning of the film, the father and son carry out a skilful supermarket theft, constructing the family economic background in a precarious state from the perspective of social survival, and then the father and mother are sympathetic (in that movie watching) Moment, we think so) and what appears to be a more complicated mood afterward, brought back a girl.

In the follow-up, we will also find that the social positioning of this family has reached a point where most people who participate in point-and-click viewing and have a deeper interest in movies than leisure and entertainment hobbies will feel almost curious. I said earlier Now, this is a HARD model—in addition to theft, the family’s source of income also includes: grandmother’s pension for the elderly and irregularly asking for support from the third son of the year, father’s construction site work was completed and he was injured after work, mother’s The female factory worker was later turned into a part-time worker and was fired, and the younger sister now seems to be the most stable income earner.

But at least they're a family in love - connected by heart and nothing else - at least we believe so at the moment of that dirty joke, at least we believe so when grandma is mumbling thank you, at least watching We believe so when there is no laughter in the picture of fireworks.

It wasn't until that moment happened that the story really began.

Since then, we have found that all the constructions in the front of the movie are not the definition of home, but the definition of dominoes of home, like a piggy bank, saving for the moment when it is broken. I'm not going to spoil things so I'm not going to reveal what happened, and when that moment comes, the audience will naturally have an epiphany: it turns out that the movie is the opening now.

The rhythm of the parts of the real link is fast, like most stories, disintegrating, destroying, always ending quickly, almost only a little more patient than the introduction of the end credits. Short shots and pictures introduce each A man's end--

But wait a minute, before the full stop, before the end credits, before the audience gets up, the camera takes us back to the beginning, and everything is different, or everything is normal, but those things that happened it is true.

What remains when everything falls apart is what is connected by the heart.
