Finally finished watching Miracle last night, as always, it was Hirokazu Kore-eda's style. A few children naively believed that a miracle would happen when the two Shinkansen trains crossed, and their wishes would come true at that time, so they brought their wishes to the place where the trains meet with delicious horse meat sashimi. Kumamoto Prefecture. The whole movie is so light, there are no twists and turns and no false alarm. From the beginning to the end, what I can feel is warmth and softness, possibility and hope, and the "slow and sure" sense of solidity that I have been pursuing for a long time. Especially in 2020, when the bad virus is raging and disasters are constant, this feeling is too precious.
Some of the kids in the review are very cute. Hangyi and Ryunosuke are brothers who live apart because of their parents' divorce. The older brother Hangyi, who is about to enter junior high school, went to Kagoshima with his mother to live with his grandmother's family. The younger brother, Ryunosuke, went to Fukuoka with his father, an underground musician. My brother has always hoped that the family of four can live together again, so he hopes that the volcano in Sakurajima will erupt so that he and his mother can be forced to move out. When a friend asked Hangyi if his younger brother's wish was the same as his, Hangyi didn't say the same for sure. In fact, Hangyi could feel it in a phone call, and his younger brother felt that there was nothing wrong with his current life. , he is growing vegetables in his father's new home, he cares about his tomatoes and broad beans, he takes his friends home and sets off fireworks with his father's band, he always has a smile on his face, he doesn't like his parents always A life of quarrels, even though he loves his mother and brother very much. Ryunosuke's wish is to be a Kamen Rider or a racing driver.
Hang Yi has two good friends. You wish is to marry Mr. Kozhi from the library. You have a father who likes to gamble and leave him and his sister to go gambling. You want to marry Mr. Koichi and he It's okay to long for a warm family life. The real desire is to become a professional baseball player. The three of them made careful plans to go to Kumamoto to make a wish, collect coins under the vending machine, sell their toys and books, how to hide from teachers and parents, skip class and drive the car... Fortunately, they found a car that didn't require a parent's signature. The second-hand sales store of the family got help from Grandpa Hang Yi, and also met a lovely infirmary teacher who understood them.
The younger brother, who used to live happily every day, began to get nervous when he heard his friend said that the relationship between the brothers would fade if they did not meet, and he also began to plan a trip to Kumamoto. When the two met in Kumamoto, the older brother felt unhappy when he saw the three good friends behind his younger brother. Brother attaches great importance to this opportunity to make a wish, and he pinned all his hopes for the family to be able to live again. A group of children began to look for the best observation point where the trains meet. They passed a large field of cosmos flowers. The younger brother wanted to look for seeds, but the older brother was always in a hurry. They met the police who might take them away to call their parents, and also met the grandparents who were kind enough to take them in and lied to the police. In the evening, several children chatted about their wishes, and wrote their wishes on towels to make chess pieces.
When everyone shouted their wishes the next morning when they saw the trains meet, almost all their wishes changed at that moment. Yu hopes that his father will stop gambling, I really hope that his dead puppy "Little Marble" will come back to life, and Ryunosuke hopes that his father's album will be a big hit... Hangichi didn't speak from the beginning to the end. I was not surprised by the change of other people's wishes, but it was Hang Yi's silence that surprised me. On the way back, he told his younger brother, "I'm sorry, I didn't choose my family, I chose the world." When discussing wishes with his friends at the beginning, his friend told him that everyone would die when the volcano erupted. Hang Yi said that you can escape; When arriving at Kumamoto Station, the conductor told Koichi that the previous volcanic eruption had killed 50 people, and Koichi was silent. I think that the night when the little friends discussed and asked about wishes might just be the moment before making a wish. Hang Yi remembered what his father said to him, "Don't only care about yourself, but the world." In the end, Hang Yi chose the world. When he grew up, Hang Yi, who always said that his father's life had no meaning like a little adult, first understood what meaning is. The little marbles did not survive, the two brothers were separated, and the little friends all flew back to their homes. These children began to understand what they really wanted. They were about to grow up, and they tried to use their naivety. Eyes to peep life.
At the moment when the two trains meet, the film flashes a lot. Grandpa Hang Yi made a light soup with a light taste. After swimming, the brothers would always eat a bite of the popsicle, which they really put in their schoolbag. Small marbles along the way, red swimming trunks soaking in the pool, dad's album cover, Ryunosuke's broad bean sprouts... These pictures make me feel warm and at ease, I see so many tender moments in life at once. This may be the greatest comfort I have received these days.
After watching the movie, I remembered the children I met when I went to work part-time this spring. They were very naughty in the second grade. Everyone wanted to tell me that he was the fastest one to do the questions. One of the children secretly told me that he wanted me to Be their math teacher because I'm so much better looking than their old teacher. I know that I can't be a child all the time, so I hope I can become an adult who can cover up innocence and let children grow up with peace of mind.
