Maybe because the picture is too eye-catching, the story itself was ignored by me.
Just now, I suddenly felt that I understood this movie.
In my opinion, the theme of this movie is - the real cool, the real strong, not the external things such as gangsters, gang fights, wearing special attack uniforms, but to break through all obstacles, including origin, experience, surrounding Eyes and ridicule, become the person you want to be, and live the life you really want.
Such a cool person, even in a loli outfit, even if the dream is to be a housewife.
Taozi's father is a gangster who mixes with the underworld, and her mother left their father and daughter to remarry. Taozi himself was once a legend among the tyrants.
But, one day, she decided not to be a hooligan, but to be a gentle, sweet, little princess-like woman. So, even in the countryside where there are only cows and rice fields, in the jeering of former partners and new friends, she will wear a loli dress sewn by herself, and her words and deeds are as lovely and dignified as a lady. Later, she found a job in a high-end loli clothing store in Tokyo, and took a big step towards her dream life.
If you want to get the life you really want, you need to pay a lot, give up a lot, endure a lot of hardships, go through a lot of struggles, and more importantly, you have to defy the expectations of many people, and even disappoint those who once loved you and be admired by you. People laugh at it...but only through all this, only listening to your own voice, and only sticking to your own will, can you get the life of your dreams and become a great person.
Tetsuya Nakajima, the director of "The Story of My Wife," also made a more famous film, "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko." In my opinion, the two films "The Next" and "Being" are in a "contrasting" relationship. The two films not only have almost the same shooting style, but also have the same theme.
"Second" is about insisting on pursuing your dreams, ignoring the scorn and ridicule of others, and obtaining happiness.
"Being" is about giving up oneself to follow the crowd, begging to be loved by others, and the ending is tragic.
In the end, of course, it is the same sentence - there is no one-size-fits-all truth, just see whether it is suitable for this time, here, this situation, this situation, this person and this matter, what is suitable is right, and what is not suitable is wrong.
Movies are just movies, and what you see in movies is just personal experience. Brother Long said (or in French), life is complicated.
PS. Suddenly I thought of "The Story of My Wife" because of the random seven.
The reason why I like her is probably because she said: "On the issue of heterogeneity, in Mr. Wang Haiya's worldview, sexual orientation cannot be the criterion for classification. Mr. Wang Haiya believes that people can only be divided into three categories: handsome, Ugly and ordinary people. If it is a handsome guy who is troubled by sexual orientation, it is a beauty who rolls beaded curtains, sitting and frowning; Strange. If it is an ordinary person who is troubled by sexual orientation, you will, as always, not be included in the discussion scope. If everyone in the world can figure it out, fundamentally change their life aspirations, and aspire to be a handsome guy, instead of escaping from the fundamental problem, Entangled in the details, our world must be much better than it is now." Then she really went abroad to study pastry making, suffered a lot and made great achievements, because she dreamed of being with her lake friends Open a coffee shop where you can "blow water" together.
