The film tells the sad life of a Japanese woman. From childhood to work to mixed society, after that it went downhill step by step, lost his reputation and lost his job due to improper handling, was abandoned by his family and cohabited with a literary youth, his lover committed suicide, and became the lover of his lover’s opponent; The elder was resigned; when he met a soft fan, he was defrauded of money and irrationally murdered. He failed to commit suicide twice. When he met a family man, he was imprisoned for eight years. The middle-aged girlfriend became a best friend and was happy; in the end, when she met her student gangster boyfriend, she gave up her best friend and work for love; her boyfriend was imprisoned and waited hard, and when he was released from prison, he was abandoned by his boyfriend again, and gave up; he eventually became ugly and died of old age.

The "disgusting" shown in the title refers to Matsuko's childhood. In the childhood family, because the father paid too much attention to the body of the sickly and frail sister, he ignored the mental health of the healthy individual. Perhaps because of family pressure, he has always been unsmiling, which has created a "disgusting" mental state for Matsuko. In order to get rid of this psychological feeling, she did not hesitate to do everything, including learning to make faces and falling for life-long bad habits. This kind of mental state has accompanied her throughout her life. She has been striving for the attention of others all her life, but in the end, she has not gotten out of this psychological circle. In her final days, she gave up her efforts and hope and turned herself into a disgusting pine nuts.

Matsuko is lovely, she has beauty and kindness in her heart, she is willing to settle down when things go wrong, and does not hesitate to make herself wronged. She has an intuitive and spontaneous love. Songzi is also sad. For men, she has too many needs for love. It's wrong. The right man is not at the right time. Songzi is undoubtedly beautiful and kind. She loves life and is positive. She is willing to suffer grievances for her lover. This image is comparable to Jin Yong's "Shuanger". "If you're a hooligan, I'll be a hooligan woman." There is no doubt that when uttering this sentence, Matsuko's love and giving to men reached its peak. This is her last sacrifice and her ultimate dream. It's a pity that what she entrusted was not human. Such a perfect wife and woman can't get a happy life, which aggravates the tragedy of the movie.


Some people call this movie the Japanese version of "Song of Everlasting Regret". I think it's better to call it the Japanese version of "Love's Voice Practice". It is the lack of father's love that causes the craving personality. They have tried countless times, and they have made efforts regardless of everything, but they all fail in the end. Childhood has more control over people than anything else. With countless beautiful yearnings for life, he went to the wall. He died and he couldn't die, and he lived so miserably.

The director is still tolerant. At the end of the movie, he uses a large amount of space to build a beautiful sky, giving Songzi a perfect spiritual redemption.

sad, sad
