The film directed by Hirokazu Koreeda is still full of warmth and memorable.
What is a miracle?
Baidu Encyclopedia says:
"Miracle is a Chinese word, the pinyin is qí jì, which means extremely difficult and unusual things"
Wikipedia says:
"Miracle は, Human の Power や Natural Law を Super え, God な ど Supernatural の も の と さ れ る で き ご と. Basic に は Religion お よ び Faith び つ い て い る こ と が 多い. (Miracles are considered to be beyond human power and Natural laws, supernatural things like gods. Basically miracles are often associated with religious beliefs.)”
I think "Miracle" is a miracle.
I have seen several films directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, and I like them very much, but I have never written a film review. And after reading this, the urge to write a film review was aroused for the first time. (Although it was only when I picked up the pen that I realized that I wanted to write less when I read, it was really difficult to give birth).
"Miracle" is still plain, with no ups and downs in the plot, but it is full of tenderness and moving in the details.
The story takes place in a family with two branches due to the divorce of parents. The older brother lives with his mother at his grandmother's house, and the younger brother lives with his father.
My brother has always hoped that the family of four could live together again. But I heard my mother call my brother to let my brother come, but I didn't get a positive answer; I called my father and hoped that my father would get back with my mother soon, but my father said that I hoped that he would care more about the world; I told my brother about my wish, but I learned The younger brother does not want the parents to get back together. He often said, "I really don't know what I'm thinking about." He was lonely, helpless, and lost hope. So the wish turned into a wish for the volcano to erupt, and they would have no choice but to go back to Osaka to live.
The younger brother is different from the older brother. Compared with the unhappy life of the four of them, he would rather choose the cleanliness of the four separate places. Even if he had to do his own housework at a young age, he even had to take care of his father, study in the noisy environment where his father and the members practiced, and so on. Nevertheless, he still lives optimistically. My mother said that I heard that you are living a happy life, and he replied, "Because I worked hard and lived happily." He is sensible, he loves his brother very much, and he also loves his mother very much. Even though I heard from my brother that I was like my father and worried that my mother would not like me, I still wanted to cook what my mother liked to eat for my mother, but I still wanted to make my angry brother happy and said that he hoped the family would continue to live together. When discussing his wishes with his friends, the younger brother said that he wanted to be a masked warrior, and that he wanted to drive a supercar when he grew up. The friends asked , "What kind of miracle did Ryunosuke's brother wish to happen?"
My brother heard from classmates that when two shinkansen meet, they will generate huge energy, like a meteor passing by. If you make a wish at that moment, it will definitely come true. At that moment, my brother seemed to have hope again, and he wanted to make a wish at the place where the two Shinkansen met. After the elder brother told the younger brother about the matter, the younger brother said that he would also go. In this way, the two brothers and their little friends, a total of seven children, embarked on a miraculous wish-making trip from two places...
A very miraculous and miraculous segment in the film is the part where Xiao Huimei and the others lied that they were the granddaughter of the previous family in order to get rid of the police on the way to "making a wish". The amazing thing is that when the strange little Huimei called her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law just stayed for a while without breaking it. This not only allowed them to get rid of the police successfully, but also solved the problem of where to stay at night. I was very puzzled when I saw this, and later learned that it was because Xiao Huimei and the old couple's daughter who ran away from home looked almost exactly the same. When they left the next day, they asked the old couple what their wish was, they made a wish for them, and they said, our wish has come true...
Following the way they said hello to the old couple the day before, they came to the top of the mountain and found a place where they could see the two cars meet. But when it came time to shout out my wish, my elder brother was silent. He said to his younger brother, I chose the world instead of home. He gave up his "selfish" wish, he gave up his wish to reunite the discordant family. He said to his brother, Dad will give it to you. The children who ran slowly and left alone probably made different wishes because of the blow, "I hope I can run faster"; Xiaoyou, who told his friends that he wanted to marry a library teacher, also shouted out his true wishes." I hope my father will stop gambling"; my brother's wish has also become "I hope my father can write a song that can be popular"... A small wish, full of warmth, full of love.
The part where the children shouted their wishes when they met on the Shinkansen moved me the most, and also made me cry the most. However, what I like the most is the collection of scenes from the film before the children shouted their wishes: popsicles in summer, chips of chips, 40.1°C thermometer, unused paint, brother's school uniform, parent-child Don, swimming trunks in the sink, blue sky, broad bean sprouts, coins dropped from the vending machine, hands of grandma learning to dance, teacher's soothing pat on the shoulders, stroking small marbles, volcanic ash on the shoulders, a family of four The walking back, the light soup that took a bite, the bicycle bell of the library teacher, the fat hand of the conductor to guide the way, the swaying cosmos, the seeds in the hands, the flag full of wishes, the photos of the brothers in the past, the album of the father, Ema of the shrine...
In life, we often feel unhappy and helpless, and the perception of beauty seems to be much more difficult. In fact, when we put these ordinary moments together, we will miraculously discover that the moments in our lives are so beautiful... Isn't this a miracle?
