There are always many unsatisfactory things in life. How do we deal with them? Perhaps this movie by Hirokazu Kore-eda gave us a good answer. From the perspective of the two brothers, the film depicts the lives of the older brother Hangichi who lives with his mother in Kagoshima and the younger brother Ryunosuke who lives with his father in Fukuoka , but the two lines of life are often caused by the conversation between the mother and the grandmother. , the group photo on the table, the hard-working butterfly swimming, the phone calls between the older brother and the younger brother, the homework required by the teacher in class, the broad beans watered every day, the light soup in the schoolbag, etc. Although the older brother and younger brother live apart, they They have always existed in each other's world until they meet, and this attempt to forcibly "go back to the past" has turned into letting go and fulfillment.
My brother lives in Kagoshima with my mother, and it is my brother's daily life to wipe the volcanic ash accumulated at home every day, while my younger brother laughs every day. A well-cared-for life, on the other hand, the younger brother takes care of himself and his father's life independently. The older brother and younger brother have chosen different lives, and they have their own different worlds .
The elder brother has been looking forward to the reunion of the family, while the younger brother is like his father, preferring his free and unrestrained way of life . The younger brother thought of the endless quarrel between his father and mother .
What impressed me was that my mother called my brother when I was drunk and asked my brother why he didn't call his mother, if he didn't want his mother, the younger brother said aggrievedly: " Mom hates Dad, I'm just like Dad, I thought Mom hates it too. Me ." It's always a child whose parents are divorced and injured innocently, but fortunately, the seemingly heartless younger brother is so sensible, trying to make himself and the people around him happy every day .
" When two trains traveling in opposite directions pass for the first time at 260 kilometers per hour, a miracle happens and a wish comes true. "
Hang Yi, who heard this secret in the experimental class, immediately became concerned. This innocuous idea was captured by them once while waiting for a train on the side of the road, when they saw the intersection of two trains heading in opposite directions, and the old grandma across the road disappeared. The scene "confirmed" them, which made them more convinced that the miracle was real, so they planned a journey to find the miracle together.
My brother called and asked my father why he didn't want the family to reunite, but my father said something meaningful to him: " Don't always think about yourself, think about the world. " At the moment when the bullet trains met, while others were still shouting their wishes against the wind, every frame and object that flew through his mind,
He painted the picture on the wall praying for a volcanic eruption, the bitten popsicle, the leftover potato chips in the bag, the thermometer with 40.1 degrees Celsius in his hand, the school uniform and school card from the transfer school, the mother at the dinner table The steaming home-cooked food, the red swimming trunks floating in the sink, the broad beans planted in the yard to be harvested and sent to my mother in the coming spring, the coins picked up from the vending machine, the powerful beating from the male teacher, lying on the schoolbag The small marbles inside, the volcanic ash dusted off the shoulders, the family of four I saw on the road, the faint white light soup I took a bite, the bicycle bell of Mr. flowers, the wish to draw together on the cloth, the photo of the brothers when they were children, and the new CD of Dad... All these things he experienced alone, the miracles created by these children, finally let him understand the meaning of Dad's words, So back at the station, he said to his brother who was about to part, " This time, I didn't choose our family, but the world. "
The teacher's soothing slap
Hang Yi and his friends had to walk a long way to go to school every day. When they finally came to the school gate, they sighed, " Why build the school on the mountain? " Then Mr. Sachiko walked over with a bicycle and said Same thing. This is why they like Mr. Sachiko so much, because in the eyes of the children, the teacher is just like them, she is someone who understands their world, because she asks the same questions as them .
On the contrary, the male teacher, the head teacher, who they disliked, seemed to be strict and unreasonable. He always criticized students in class, but in private he was as gentle as a brother. Don't be discouraged, and pat Hang Yi's shoulder twice like a brother.
The painting of the volcanic eruption and the guidance of the platform uncle
Accidentally on the Ferris wheel, Hang Yi heard his grandfather say that there are more and more high-rise buildings here, and if the volcano erupts, people will have to move out. Hang Yi was thoughtful after hearing this, he thought that if the volcano erupted, all the people here would have to move out, then he and his mother could move back to Osaka to reunite with the family of four with his father and younger brother. So he ran back to his room and drew a picture of the eruption, and posted it on the wall to pray every day, making a wish that the volcano erupted, so that the family could move back to Osaka and get back together again.
During the journey, Hang Yi accidentally heard the uncle on the platform pointing into the distance and said that there was a volcanic eruption here, and the lava took the lives of more than 50 people. Hang Yi remembered the wish that he had made in the Kagoshima volcano, and pursed his lips. into deep thought.
Bitten popsicles and leftover chips
In the summer, when my brother and brother were talking on the phone, the two always had a popsicle in their mouths, and they ate it with relish. On the two ends of the phone, they shared the new things in their own lives while learning about the changes in each other's lives. The popsicle in the mouth is as sweet as the heart.
Both my elder brother and younger brother like to eat potato chips. When they lived together before, they often fought over eating potato chips, but they didn't live together for half a year, but they always miss each other. This time they meet again, they seem to be a lot more sensible, and they don't fight anymore. When they eat potato chips, they want to leave the potato chips for each other to eat.
Broad beans grown in the yard
The younger brother is very lively, likes to talk, has a cheerful personality, and has many friends. He lives in Fukuoka with his father. He grows vegetables in the front yard, goes to school by himself, takes care of his father's daily life, hangs and collects clothes, takes out the garbage, wakes his father up, and does various housework. I am also very concerned about the situation of my father's new song. In terms of self-care ability, he is completely a little adult.
One time, Hang Yi called his younger brother. When talking on the phone, the elder brother blamed the younger brother for only caring about his own dishes. He said that the younger brother did not understand anything and did not want to reunite the family. My favorite dish to eat with alcohol . He also likes the fava bean rice made by his mother, and he wants his mother to teach him how to make it.
In fact, brothers and sisters are very sensible, but their pursuits are different.
Change under the vending machine and a 40.1°C thermometer
In order to raise enough money to see the miracle of the two bullet trains meeting, Hang Yi and two friends made a wish. After class, they went to every vending machine to pick up change, sold their favorite toys and comics, and even sold them. Used the tuition of his swimming lessons.
They fell ill and asked for leave together as planned. With the help of the lovely school doctor and grandpa Hangyi, they escaped from the school with three thermometers rubbed under their armpits to more than 40 degrees Celsius, opening their miracle. trip.
A family of four I saw on the road
In the swimming pool, in the subway station, every time he sees other people's families getting along in harmony, he will look twice, and then he will look a little lost.
He once had a dream that his family went to the Sun Tower Park to have a picnic, but the staff on the side were dismantling the "Sun Tower". Only Hang Yi ran to try to stop him. He desperately wanted to call his father. Mom and brother help together, but no one pays attention to him.
This is not just a dream, this dream is reality. In real life, in fact, he is the only one who has been trying to find a way to reunite the family, but it seems that both parents and brothers have become accustomed to and even prefer the life apart now .
A bite of light soup
Before Hang Yi set off on the journey, his grandfather made a light soup again. He asked Hang Yi if he wanted to eat it. Hang Yi didn't want to eat light soup at first, but he thought of something when he left, so he returned and took two light soup. When the two brothers meet, they eat light soup together. This kind of brotherhood can only be felt more deeply by children with siblings at this time. It is a concern hidden in the bottom of my heart , just like my sister and brother lived in the same city after graduation. Every time we met, They will bring some delicious food to each other.
dad's new cd
When Hangichi and Ryunosuke met, his younger brother gave his father a new CD. He asked his older brother what underground music meant? My brother thought about it and said that he probably meant to work harder .
Hangyi called his father once and asked him why he didn't want the family to reunite. Finally, his father said something meaningful to him: " Don't always think about yourself, think about the world ." Hangyi didn't understand it at the time, but when he The moment he saw the intersection of two bullet trains with a speed of 260 per hour, he understood, so he asked his younger brother to take good care of his father, he said sorry, he did not make a wish, " This time I did not choose our family, but the world. ."
Just like our first meeting half a year later, we were separated at both ends of the railroad tracks. To return to our respective worlds, we waved goodbye forcefully. The difference is that this time we parted, we were more mature and more Firmly, we have to truly let go of the past, start a new life, and create new miracles.
Huimei knew that Santa Claus was fake, but she still wanted to believe that the miracle when the trains met was real, and ran to make a wish together . At the intersection of the train, he shouted that he hoped that the small marbles would come back to life. At the end of the journey to find the miracle, the small marbles were still lying motionless in their schoolbags. They returned to their normal lives, and their wishes did not come true.
But the miracle has actually happened. Their innocence and their belief in miracles allow them to grow up with strength . This strength will enable them to overcome many difficulties in their future life. I believe that when they grow up, they will be The male protagonist in the Japanese drama "We Are Made of Miracles", although he has grown into an adult, still retains his innocence and believes in miracles, so he can live so cute, so interesting, and so full of power.
As long as you keep believing in miracles, miracles will happen. If adults believe like children, then we will surely create miracles. No matter what you're going through, as long as you believe in miracles, life will slowly get better.
Every time the volcanic ash rose and fell, Hangyi missed the day of family reunion, but after meeting his brother, he no longer expected the volcano to erupt, and they moved back to Osaka to live together. Abandoned family, chose the world, his own world, and the world of others.
In the end, Hang Yi put his fingers in his hands, raised them up, followed the example of an adult, looked at his fingers, and said with confidence that the volcanic ash would not fall much today. The movie begins with a touch of volcanic ash in Hang Yi, and from Hang Yi imitating adults to judge the end of the landing of volcanic ash, from the beginning to the end, Hang Yi is no longer the Hang Yi who was obsessed with reuniting his family, but has more Koichi with a big mind .
May we all live as pure as children.
