"the truth"

It was Hirokazu Koreeda who once again focused on family issues.

Fabian is a national treasure movie star, and she recently published a personal memoir. At this time her daughter Lumière and her husband were returning from New York to Paris to visit her. However, when Lumire read her memoir, she found that the content in it did not match the real situation, which caused Lumire's anger and complaints, and the conflict between mother and daughter began to show. Fabian has a strong personality and believes that she cannot lose the war on the screen. For her, her career is greater than her family, and she ignores her daughter and family. Lumil could never understand and forgive his mother. At this time, Fabian picked up a new movie, a science fiction movie. Fabien plays an elderly daughter whose mother went into space when she was terminally ill as a child so she would never grow old. The daughter stays on the earth, the mother only comes to the earth to visit her daughter every many years, and the daughter also moves from infancy, adolescence, middle age, and finally to the dying years. Every time a mother and her daughter meet, the daughter will always have a different grief and say to the mother: "You are always so young." When the daughter finally grows old, the daughter understands her mother, no longer resents, and clings to her mother's arms for a long time. .

Life is like a play, and play is like life. The estrangement and contradiction between Fabien and Lumil are also intuitively expressed in science fiction movies. Lumire's husband, father and daughter also serve as mediums for emotional restoration, such as the husband's statement that the perfect family shown to Fabian doesn't win Lumire, "a second-rate TV actor can't hit her." External Factors do not resolve the kernel of contradiction. However, in the filming of the sci-fi movie, Fabien realized the daughter's feelings from the role of her daughter, and Lumire also understood her mother during the class visits again and again. In the end, Lumir brought out his father's tinkered stage toys and put them on the table. The strong mother was touched and finally said what she had kept in her heart for a long time. She actually watched the lion under the stage. Daughter; took on her favorite role for her daughter, the witch of Vincennes; and jealousy of Windsor. The line "I stole Windsor's character, and Windsor stole my daughter." impressed me.

"Memory can't be believed." The daughter is entangled in the negative memories of the past, but forgets the good memories, and blames her mother for the truth. But those who choose to believe in past memories, believe in what they believe to be the truth, are not beneficial to people's relationships. The important thing is how we can use the most sincere emotion to give each other in our future interactions. The boundaries between true and false things in the impression of daughters and mothers will gradually blur. But in the future, every interaction will be treated with sincerity, and the beautiful memories will continue to be created. No matter how vague it is, it will always be beautiful.

Compared with the previous films, the director has added a lot of character dialogue, including many humorous and interesting lines. On the whole, it is quite satisfactory, and it was a bold attempt for Hirokazu Koeda, but it did not make me amazed.

I don't know why when I heard ed at the end, I remembered what Teresa Teng sang in his "Deeper Than the Sea": "I will do as you say, that's all, deeper than the sea, bluer than the sky, I can't do it to love you so much." At the end of the credits, it is thought that if Fabien was walking the dog alone on the Paris lanes again, she would be relieved and relieved, and not only because she loved the Parisian winter sky.
