Like "The Life of the Disgusting Matsuko" (hereinafter referred to as "Matsuko" ), it comes from "The Story of the Wife" directed by Tetsuya Nakajima . It covers all the styles of "Matsuko" . The brilliant lighting, exaggerated narrative techniques, a bit pessimistic character of the protagonist... etc. are all revealed in this film. In fact, I am also very surprised that I like this movie. I think it is mainly due to the influence of the poster. I often choose movies by intuition, but the poster design of this movie really does not arouse my interest, so I watched it a long, long time ago. I have never watched Tetsuya Nakajima's films after finishing "Matsuko" . It can be said that I was very pleasantly surprised to see the director's film this time. The camera movement technique that was a bit repulsive in the past was lively and interesting this time. Maybe I didn't expect it, so I brought it The surprise to come can be said to be very satisfying.
The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by the Japanese writer Takumoto Wild Rose. The story tells the life of a girl Momoko, who fantasized about living in the 17th century French Rococo era, and her father settled in Shimozu City. Since her teenage years, she has been wearing brightly colored and lace classic Lolita clothes every day. By fate, she met Shizi, a mob. As their friendship was established, the two began to talk about their own The dark past has gradually become good friends who can talk about everything, and the oncoming difficulties have finally made them understand what "happiness" is.
First of all, I must first admire the character image design of this film, the gorgeous style and the personal characteristics of Tetsuya Nakajima. The combination of the two left a deep impression. Although it is exaggerated to look at the shape design alone, it is really refreshing when combined with the director's narrative technique. I especially like the image design of the mobster played by Takashi Abe. The plane head is exaggerated and cute enough, and the director also Through this kind of art design, the atmosphere of the whole film is added with colorful colors.
As for the plot, to be honest, there have been many movies that have discussed the matter of "happiness", and I don't have much thought about Tetsuya Nakajima's strong personal style, so I didn't plan to write it for this movie. Movie viewing experience, but a certain line in this film touched me and inspired me a lot of thoughts, so now I am recording the passionate emotions in my heart to share with you.
The whole film is to discuss happiness. In fact, "The Story of the Next Wife" and "Pine Son" are both inseparable from this motif. If we want to make an easy-to-understand comparison, it is "The Story of the Next Wife". Although Taozi also had a not so happy past, but she still holds hope for the future; but Matsuko in "The Life of the Disgusting Matsuko" is not so lucky, and the successive blows have made her discouraged in this world. , and finally even made her come to the conclusion of "I'm sorry for being human" and say goodbye to this world that has never given her happiness. Although the filming techniques and presentation styles of the two films are similar, the presentation of the pictures and the use of colors are quite different. After watching "The Wife Story" this time, it gave me a feeling that these two films are probably sister films, Tetsuya Nakajima The director uses two different perspectives to interpret the happiness he understands. If you are interested, you might as well watch these two films together. Maybe you will feel similar to me.
And the film that impressed me the most and inspired my love for this film is a seemingly unimportant but crucial link. She saw the picture when her mother was about to give birth to her. Taozi's mother had the idea of not giving birth to the child because of the severe pain during childbirth. She didn't decide to give birth to Taozi until the doctor who accompanied the delivery held her hand tightly. Violently, she cried out in pain but clearly: "Child, you must be happy!"
This clip adds up to more than 30 seconds at most, but it made me deeply understand that the happiness of children is the greatest happiness of parents.
Maybe you don't believe it, yes, I didn't believe it at first either.
Every time I chat with my mother, she always says: as long as you feel good, that's good, because you're happy and I'm happy, and if you're happy, I'll be happy too. For a long time, I always felt that this was only a kind of consolation, she just wanted me to believe in my choice, and I never believed that when she looked at me and smiled, the corners of her mouth would rise. However, what Taozi's mother said hit my heart, like a straight punch, and made me believe that what parents are after is the happiness of their children.
In fact, Taozi and her mother have been separated since she was a child. Her mother fell in love with the doctor who helped her deliver the birth, while Taozi chose to live with her failed father because she thought his father's life seemed more interesting. It can be seen from this that the relationship between Taozi and her mother is very weak, but when Taozi was seventeen years old, she heard the words of her mother because of an accident, and suddenly realized that she was actually "pursuing happiness". It is the ultimate goal of this life, not only for myself, but also for my parents. Even if there is not much emotional connection, at the moment when a child is born, motherhood and fatherly love will naturally hope that this weak little thing can be happy and happy.
My definition of happiness can be said to simply want to live the most comfortable life I think, even if it is flat, but still happy; for Peaches, happiness may be with a man who is also obsessed with loli clothes and sewing. Fight for what they both love; for Shizi, happiness is probably having someone by her side, be it a friend or a lover, to soothe her lonely heart that needs a shell of violence to protect.
Regarding happiness, I think you may also have a blurry or clear picture in your heart. However, in the face of the future with a preliminary composition in your heart, why have we not lived the happy life we want?
To this end, Taozi's mother said based on her past experience: "When faced with great happiness, you will become very timid. It takes more courage to grasp happiness than to endure pain." Yes, when faced with happiness, we Always timid, perhaps because of the fear of failure and parting ways with happiness, or perhaps just unable to believe that such a self has the right to seize happiness.
This reminds me of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" , when Charlie confided his heart to himself when confronted with his love for Sam: "We only accept the love we think we deserve."
Looking back on the past 20 years, I, like Taozi, have been unable to recognize the ultimate goal of life. We are always wandering around happiness, and we are worried about whether we have not pursued what we want. The right you want in life, you have gone back and forth with happiness several times, but the so-called "qualification to pursue happiness" is actually just the courage to raise your head and look forward.
Later, Taozi and Shizi both found their own happiness. At first glance, it really makes people mistakenly think that the pursuit of happiness is so simple; but we should not forget that they both experienced misfortune, In the dark past, I learned what the happiness I want looks like, and I finally know how to use that hard-won courage to seize happiness. And I think we may be like Taozi and Shizi. After experiencing various lives, we understand the happiness we want. I hope we can all have the courage to raise our heads and look at Xingfu as soon as possible. You have to believe that this is not difficult but It will take some time.
May we all be happy.
