The young literary and artistic people who applaud this play always remind me of the children of middle-class families in Europe who support Tibetan independence. The Chinese government has always bullied the kind-hearted landlords and lamas in Tibet. When it comes to Tibet, there are always pure people and innocent religions. As for the broken teeth of the serfs, the elder sisters who made human skin drums, the fathers whose limbs were broken, the mothers who were abused at will—what do you mean by these?
The daughter of a middle-class family lives in a clean, tidy and spacious house, with a polite father and a mother who can make beautiful pastries. After graduating from high school, the eldest daughter and her grandfather's ex-wife went to live in an old bungalow that should be demolished. They huddled together with a middle-aged uncle, aunt, and two children in a dilapidated, cluttered, and gray bungalow. My younger sister is a sophomore in college, so maybe the family is a little eccentric, but it doesn't shorten her necessities. But don't live in a bright and tidy house, don't go to college, don't join clubs, don't associate with clean and good-looking middle-class boys, go to a custom shop to sell your body, go to a vulgar-looking dumb guest, and find a Looks like a real god.
The funniest thing is, why did Grandpa's ex-wife live with her? Because she can ask for some money from her parents from time to time.
It's just that the characters in the play don't know about it. Why can the audience still feel the deep love of their family from the bottom of their hearts? Fetters? Affectionate? If your mother sends you to the shampoo room to help the wretched and greasy middle-aged uncle jerk off, do you think she loves you very much? What is the value of life to be realized by selling oneself? Can selling oneself be regarded as the value of life?
The Yamato people seem to take prostitution as noble, but they are puzzled. Since they yearn for a prostitute life, why does Laoai persuade prostitutes to be good?
I really want to persuade prostitutes to be good and not go to prostitutes.
Middle-aged women have embarked on the road of picking up children to raise because of their infertility. Might still be able to interpret the touching point. However, is the child you picked up really a stray, unwanted child? hehe. You picked up a child, how do you raise it? Teach them to steal, steal, and steal. Even if it happened in a poor third world country. However, Japan is so developed and the relevant laws are so perfect. Can you work hard and legally apply for adoption? Of course, in Japan's strange work system, gender inequality is extremely serious, female employees have few employment opportunities, and it is extremely rare to be a regular employee. But I don't think that explains your criminal behavior, does it? Even if it is described in romantic and solemn words, it is a crime. There are many legitimate ways to be a mother, and teaching someone else's child to be a thief is definitely not one of them.
It’s okay for children to be ignorant, and it’s okay for the people in the play to rationalize their behavior in every way possible. The audience is from God’s perspective. Do you really feel warm? Is it warm? Family bond? What bond would make you steal something?
"This is abduction." - This is the logic of normal people.
Perhaps in a third world country, such as China, lost children, children who no one wants to raise, orphans are all dead ends. It is a great gift to have someone to eat, so what's the point of being a thief? Just begging for food. However, Japan is a developed country with a complete national welfare system. Unsupported children can live in a two-story building provided by the government, and live with six children. They can take the school bus to school in the morning and learn to get along with others. Children who have been abused at home can be placed in government care - in specialized child welfare facilities. The parents of the little girl in the play were investigated by the police because their daughter was missing for two months without calling the police. If you really find a child who is suspected to be lost or abandoned, the only correct solution is to contact the police. This is the case in every developed country.
What's especially funny is that all the really unlucky people in the play are women.
Compared to little girls and little boys, little boys are of course much luckier. Uncle and aunt, it is the uncle who does more bad things, but it is the aunt who goes to jail.
After all, it is Hirokazu Koreeda who is also Japanese, just inertia, hehe.
The little girl was beaten in her own home, and she was not beaten by the aunt, and there was a warm hug. It seemed that she found her real family only after she ran away from home. But between being beaten or being taught to steal, which is worse? Frankly speaking, I have never heard of Chinese children who have never been beaten by their parents since childhood. Suppose you ran away after being beaten as a child, were adopted by street gangsters, had no books to read, were hungry and full, grew up stealing things, grew up illiterate and could only steal things, would you feel happy? Compare your heart to your heart.
As an ordinary person with very simple values, I sincerely think that it is better to go to college than to sell oneself; to study, work, get married, and have children, it is better than stealing things all your life. Someone who loves you won't hit you, justified. It is unreasonable for someone who loves you to not beat you, but teach you to steal instead of sending you to study.
Compared with the "healing system", this drama is very "depressing" in my opinion.
I really do not feel the warmth of human nature at all, but I deeply understand the darkness of human nature. Of course, literary youths will think that I am slandering a masterpiece like this. I am really blind, and I also feel that I can't listen to the recommendations of literary youths to watch movies in the future. The brain circuits are so different.
