It can be said that "The Truth" is undoubtedly Hirokazu Kore-eda's most personal film. Although the audience who do not know Hirokazu Kore-eda's background will not be affected by this, the actors' delicate and sincere performances are already pleasing to the eye. If you understand the director's life, you will find that the movie is always about Hirokazu Koreeda's past, and fans will feel more warm. For example, the family organized by the heroine Lumir implies that it is Hirokazu Koreeda’s family with a daughter; the heroine’s mother, Fabienne, is actually a reflection of Hirokazu Koreeda’s mother with a “poisonous tongue”; Fabienne often mentions desserts, but the reality is that Hirokazu Koreeda’s mother works in a cake shop , often bringing cakes home for him to eat; Fabienne's relationship with Lumir reflects the separation between Hirokazu Koreeda and his father, who doesn't know how to open up his heart, and is always misunderstanding that his father doesn't take him seriously until his father's death. , so the movie makes up for it; Fabienne's lie-laden autobiography is meant to be a response to her sister, and falsehoods only make those in the know even more angry. It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who wrote the story of his father's debts and borrowing money into the article, but was accused by his sister that "our family's affairs are not yours alone." More details need to be discovered by the second viewing or the audience. . Interestingly, the film once mentioned director Alfred Hitchcock, a famous British horror master. His film shots, editing, lighting, and dialogue are full of deliberateness, which is in sharp contrast to the randomness of Hirokazu Koreeda's films. Influenced by Hou Hsiao-hsien of Taiwan, and with ten years of documentary experience on TV, Hirokazu Kore-eda uses his intuition to "record" the story he wants to tell. What the audience sees is not a carefully planned movie, but a real life scene.
