I think I also have a stubborn little boy in my heart, who tried his best to pursue his wish, but let go of his obsession in an instant.
The film seems to be warm and healing, but I watched it full of sadness. When the children shouted out their wishes when they met in the train, the most persistent teenager lost his voice and his eyes gradually darkened. He said, home and the world, he chose the latter. This is clearly the compromise and helplessness of growth. When I came back to my senses, I had tears streaming down my face.
It is Hirokazu Koreeda who will always gently tell you a somewhat cruel story. The tone of his characters is always soft and pathetic. The dead puppy won't wake up, grandpa's light soup is never sweet enough, girls of the same age are always shining around you, but you can only sip your own wish. You are angry with yourself for not running fast enough, you want to grow up quickly and marry the woman you love, you can’t skip the hard process and get good results directly…
Two scenes that are a bit distressing: First, Ryunosuke made an unpleasant phone call with his brother, turned his head but still squinted his eyes and smiled "heartless", as if the child was used to switching between two expressions quickly, It seems that he has convinced himself that it doesn't matter. The second is that the two brothers compared their heads with their backs to each other. Suddenly they were silent for a while together, and then they explained to each other, you have to take good care of your father and you have to take good care of your mother. Looking at these two little men wearing little white vests and shy tummies, the nose suddenly became sore. It turns out that sometimes children are more responsible than you think, and they have a calm and innocent maturity.
Hey. Life is like a light soup, life is not so sweet, and the faint melancholy can only be tasted when you grow up.
