The subtitles on the computer have come out, I still can't bear to turn off the screen, can't bear to stop broadcasting the Japanese Country Road. This movie didn't make me cry, but it's not too much to say that the teardrops flashed and flashed. Two months ago, I arrived in the United States; two months later, I saw it in despair. From the first shot, the first note of background music, I feel that this is a movie made specifically for people like me. The song is "Country "Road", but the Japanese sing it. This song itself is the abbreviation of the contradiction of our prodigal son. It is clearly the music that misses the hometown, but it is the language of the United States. Those pictures overlooking the night sky of the city, and I first arrived in the United States The city I saw from the plane that day was exactly the same. Although it was a Japanese city, its high-rise buildings showed the American modern character, and set a theme for the whole film—that is, the traditional oriental people. American dream. Tsukishima Wen and Amazawa Seiji, on the one hand, they interpret their defense and struggle for their dreams, on the other hand they write courageous love. The biggest challenge to the localization of the American dream in East Asian cultural circles is not the system or the Economy, but the attitude of the traditional Orientals toward family and school. The latter mainly comes from the high-educated complex left by the imperial examination-people believe that they will ascend to heaven after a certain period of study; the former mainly refers to those who left behind from the three outlines and five constants. Parents dominate the destiny of their children. The role of the high-degree complex is to keep young people from dreaming and being too lazy to ideals, because they believe that successful studies can bring everything, so the only thing they need is to learn for the sake of learning. In the film, the teacher points to The blackboard yelled, "This formula must be remembered, and the exam must be taken! "I'm afraid it is a sentence that any colleague who has taken the college entrance examination in China can no longer be familiar with. In this kind of instruction, students are not encouraged to have choices at all. The difference between everyone is only who can walk on the road pointed out by the teacher. It’s better. Just like Yuedaowen’s sister, who has graduated from university, she has no idea and no pursuit of life. Parents dominate their children, which makes people dare not dream of ideals, and they dare not pursue ideals. Because most of them Oriental parents have clear and narrow expectations for their children. Any dream that deviates from the direction of the single-plank bridge will be hit with all their strength. Therefore, when we see Yuedao Wen exhausting all his strength to pursue a pursuit of her own, the parents What can be seen is the regression in the mainstream evaluation-the decline in grades, she ignores her courageous diligence on her journey. However, the film gives us an optimistic expectation, that is, the possibility of communication and understanding. My father was finally caught Yuedaowen was moved by her persistence in pursuit and did not interfere anymore. But how many children of Orientals dare to fight, and how many parents of Orientals have the courage to understand? So when Yuedaowen heard the grandfather of the repair shop praise her work, When I burst into tears, I couldn’t help but burst into tears. How many people can understand the tremendous pressure that a child from a traditional Oriental family has to bear when daring to dream and daring to pursue a dream! This road may not seem like it is. A single-plank bridge, but full of thorns-parental opposition, people around I don’t understand, and I have doubts about myself. This is a road that deviates from tradition, and it will inevitably be accompanied by loneliness. Loneliness, it tortures people is no less than-even more spiritually than-fierce competition. This is why when such a person hears a confession, those pretending to be strong and stubborn all collapse, and the child-like grievances hidden in the psychological side make people have to cry! As an undergraduate law student in China for 4 years, I came to the United States to study an unmarginal master's degree. The expectation of my parents for entering law school made my choice very difficult every time. Finance, law, and administration. Their expectations of me correspond to the stinky speculation and power play that I hate by nature. However, for a person like me who has no design foundation, it is not easy to switch to the industrial design that I yearn for? Family members who have relied on you for a little half of your life will oppose you. College students have doubts and even ridicule. Many friends don't know what you are doing and what you want to do. That's why every insignificant compliment in the design class makes me feel excited. Two days ago, when I wanted to ask that teacher to write a recommendation letter for me, I said that I did not have GRE, and I did not have any design professional background. The professor said, "Those are not important. The important thing is that you have a designer's heart." At that time, I was moved as touched by the crying Tsukishima Wen... This film has another main thread intertwined with the American dream. It's the love between Moon Island Wen and Tianze Shengji. The love of teenagers has never been regarded as a premature love in the series of animations that Hayao Miyazaki participated in. Many films such as Spirited Away, Cat's Retribution, and Witch's House Express contain teenagers' love, some of which are upright, some are slightly ambiguous. In these films, the premature love that "you don't understand" in the eyes of many adults is actually the purest and truest love. In Gong Lao's new film "Mermaid Princess on the Cliff", this boundary is pushed to the childhood love. In fact, the taboo against puppies is really superfluous. If I remember correctly, Romeo and Juliet, Jia Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu are all teenagers. On the one hand, they even admit that it is true love in textbooks, and on the other hand, they are forbidden in school. Contradictory itself. The scene in the film about the two people's love affair after the class was uploaded to the class, so that people who had experienced similar scenes in middle school have endless aftertastes. The party's slightly embarrassed and slightly sweet mood, blushing everywhere Chasing, cursing and beating, I'm afraid it is only visible in memory now. Another theme of this line overlaps with us overseas wanderers again, and that is the love that spans thousands of rivers and mountains. Today was the first time I had no class in art history this semester, so I had the opportunity to go to a counseling room at Penn University A small chat activity organized by them, which is held at this time of the week, is aimed at the psychological problems of international students. When I was about to complain that my love with my wife on the other side of the ocean gave me a little pressure, those harsh remarks came out, "You should finish it and start a new one..." "You should have finished it at the first place...", one of them later talked about her local relationship-"(Dating with a local person) can help me quickly integrate into the local life and society, make more friends and increase Communication and insights..." I rely on! We are talking about love, not business! Why do these people conduct cost-benefit analysis when talking about love? But in this society, is it a *guest or *women? Two months, two months later, Tianze Shengsi returned from Italy and took Yuedaowen to watch the sunrise. It’s still a bird’s-eye view of the whole city. This time it’s no longer shining brightly, but a dreamy awakening city, and a rising sun. Below the sun, two innocent hearts made their vows. . Two months, two months after leaving Beijing, I was still on this side of the Pacific Ocean, and she was on that side. Behind our university is the Ming Tombs Reservoir. I have watched the sunset there. The sunrise should be more beautiful, but we have not had the opportunity to watch it together yet. I went to the chat event with a mentality of looking for support, but I only saw people's ridicule. When I walked out of that room, I took firmness with me. At this time, I don’t know how to express my gratitude other than saying that God let me see this film! He made us, the minority among the wanderers, believe that we will not be alone! Finally, when Country Road sounded again, it was already in Japanese. I was sitting in the dark and couldn't bear to turn off the video... Later, one of them talked about the relationship she developed in the local area-"(Dating with a local person) can help me quickly integrate into the local life and society, make more friends, increase communication and insight..."
