1. Once you start going up the mountain, you can no longer communicate.
2. Cannot be seen when away from home.
3. You can't look back after seeing your relatives.
Seven old people who have been to Mt. Nara, six exhortations, three directions, and three rules.
Why arrange for three people to guide the way? Because the road is obstructed and long.
So why do you have to go to Mt. Nara? Because there is a "mountain god" in Narayama, it is this mountain god that allows the life of the village to continue.
In fact, the fictional "Mountain God" is not on Mt. Nara. There are only white bones eaten by crows on Mt. Nara, and the "Mountain God" is on the way.
The mountain god is a rugged mountain road, just like a dutiful son who has been with him for a long time in front of the hospital bed, the long-term torment is a little bit to eliminate the nostalgia, making the separation less painful. Shohei Imamura also gently helped the audience to complete this process, by walking in the mountains for more than 40 minutes; by putting on pale white and gray makeup to dehumanize her; The voice of A Ling was not heard at all in the clip, which made the audience gradually weaken their feelings for A Ling during this long process. However, the wonderful thing is that this lost emotion comes back with the snow.
Why is it lucky to meet the snowy old man when going up the mountain? Because in addition to survival, people also have romantic feelings to take care of. Snow can cover the bones on the ground, drive away carrion-eating crows, and let the victims leave with dignity.
One is the love between Chen Ping and his father, which is gentle and romantic; the other is the love between A Ling and A Yu, which is deep and practical.
Why didn't A Ling tell Chen Ping where to catch the trout, but told A Yu at ease? Because Chenping will tell others and Ayu won't. Chen Ping couldn't bear to fall to his death, and finally was buried alive by A Ling's design. Chen Ping and his father may be cowardly, but only such a man will make A Ling love to death.
In fact, the execution of the Amaya family was just like Kaminayama. Because in order to survive, one must kill; because the human heart is soft, so in the middle of the night, being quick and ruthless, no one is allowed to mention it afterwards. This is the rule. This rule is to protect people, to allow the village to continue, and to bring peace of mind.
Wasn't Chen Ping also like Kasakaji when he was young? The cruelty of adolescence comes from selfishness, so Tatsuhira, who lacks empathy, kills his "weak" disgraceful father.
Where are women smarter than men? Chen Ping would be angry because Lisuke raped Xiaobai, which lost his "face". Ah Ling often talks about "face", but she is never angry about Lisuke. Because Ritsusuke's incident will not cause actual harm to the "home", and if it is because of not sending the old mother up the mountain and losing "face", it will break the "rules", both for the "home" and for the "village". Not good, so this "face" cannot be lost.
