Many people may ask: Why does such a simple and kind woman who believes in this sentence as her philosophy of life and can survive as long as she gives some love have such a miserable life?
My answer is: because this sentence is wrong.
1.
Many people want to compare pine nuts with Ai Iijima, and capture the real pine nuts in real life. In my opinion, it doesn't make much sense. Because Matsuko's life is not the result of the oppression of a patriarchal society as it seems on the surface, it is a typical example of tragic working women who are enslaved by men. Of course, I do not deny that there are factors in this regard. If Matsuko was a man, would he be so miserable? Hard to say. Who knows if TA will be a cowherd because of a woman? Born as a human, is it an accident that Matsuko was abandoned? I do not think so.
Those men who abandoned pine nuts, after all, there are only two kinds of people, those who love her and those who don't. Those who love her are like her father, the writer who committed suicide for her, Long Yangyi; those who don't love her are like her lover, like Uenoji, like a whore in a nightclub, like an idol she worshipped before her death. Either way, they all made a surprisingly consistent choice: Ditch the pine nuts. Matsuko spent his whole life asking: Why!
There is no reason, it is inevitable. Dad will love his sister, writer will commit suicide, lover will abandon her, Ueno will beat her, dragon will eventually avoid her, idol will ignore her. Matsuko's life is so lonely but hanging in the air, all because she is too afraid to live this kind of lonely but hanging in the air, because she is a god. The biggest tragedy of Matsuko is that she believed what Asuka said, so she kept giving and getting hurt.

Summarize the reason for Matsuko's tragic life in one sentence: She doesn't know self-love.
She is a woman who has lost the ability to love herself. She will only love others all her life, but not get the love of others. A woman who doesn't understand self-love and an abandoned life is the epitome of what I see in pine nuts. Those women who cried bitterly for Matsuko's life, lamented the injustice of the world and called men are not good things, should ask themselves: Is there any self-love?
Matsuko's life has been living for others. Because of a smile from her father, she can make the same grimace for years; because of a word from her lover, she can be a massage girl in a nightclub; because of a word from Long: I like you, and can do illegal business for the gang. She never thought to live for herself, to hold the golden future she hoped for in her childhood. The only president of Ikemura who extended a loving hand to Matsuko was also pushed away by Matsuko because of his inferiority. She has no principle, no self, and suppresses herself into the smallest speck of dust in the floating world, humble and unassuming, down to the deepest and darkest moist soil, just asking for a little bit of sunshine and rain. But if you can't love yourself, how can others love you? Dust is always dust, no flowers can bloom.
There are many synonyms to replace the word self-love: self-respect, self-respect, self-reliance, selfishness, self-reliance. Pine nuts, I don't understand everything. As she dragged her fat, bloated and smelly body to pick up business cards, I watched her die in a Wang Qiyao style calmly, and felt a huge relief.

The director used the mouth of the dragon to express the essence of Matsuko: Matsuko is a god. I don't agree with Asuka's words, precisely because I was born as a human being and also need to work hard to live. My inability to live in God's way just shows that I identify with the nature of pine nuts. She was indeed a god, although she never realized it. Her despised life is a testament to God's suffering in this world, and a testament to selfless love being questioned in this world. At the end of the film, we traced back to the upper reaches of the river, traced back to the beginning of Songzi's life, and returned to the little loli who glanced back at his father on the stage with a charming smile, how many people would Thinking that this weak body can endure such heavy suffering, tolerate such unforgivable faults and personnel, radiate such a huge energy of love, be true, work hard, and live in a very human way.
I think the director shows Matsuko in such a doting and pitiful way that he wants us to love her. In her life, every time she encounters the prosperity of fire, oil and flowers, it is the time of misery and suffering. How many times I saw that heavenly light and shadow and butterflies appear, and when I heard her singing, I was too frightened to look down. She finally really went to heaven, really returned to the original beauty, and really sang a holy song. So many people are singing, she turned into a little loli and walked home step by step, I think many people will cry when they see it. I thought to myself: go back, heaven is where you should be. For God, the world is already hell.
