There is a feeling of seeing each other late. This movie is so in line with my taste that the opening 30 minutes have already made my eyes wet, "I can't imagine what it would be like without his company". Du Li set the tone for the film to take a sad route at the beginning of the film.
【Berlin·Baltic Sea】
Facing a lover who has been with him all his life but will be separated due to illness, and a child whose family has become indifferent, this is an unbearable pain in life, Rudy said to Du Li on the Baltic seaside, "We still have each other, This is our greatest happiness], Du Li did not respond, but she was trying to restrain her emotions. She knew how long he couldn't accompany her, but who knew that she would leave Rudy alone in the end.
The children complained that they didn't have time to accompany the old man, and they felt very sad to see the old man sitting on the bench in a daze because he couldn't get a ticket at the station. The granddaughter complained that her room was occupied, and she had to accept her grandmother's pocket money as a price for massaging her grandfather's shoulders. The children in Berlin complained to each other that the old man was more concerned about the younger son in Tokyo, and even accompanied Du Li to the dance performance by his daughter's Lily girlfriend. I paid tribute to "Story", I feel that Westerners have a much colder bond with family than Easterners. After all, children leave home when they are adults, and then have their own lives and have no time to take care of their parents. There should be a lot of people starving to death.
He thought they still had time, but she knew that time was running out. They cuddled together on the Baltic seaside, wearing the same sweater, her left arm and his right arm, although the sea was windy and cold, but This part is really hot.
on the day she left. They embraced and danced, knowing that every day could be the last. At night, she saw a call from another self, so she left him behind.


【Tokyo · Mount Fuji】
Rudy, an old-fashioned old man, finally decided to go to Tokyo to find his Du Li when he was packing up Du Li's belongings. There must be another her in the world, living the life she wants. He took his wife's kimono pajamas and clothes as if she were still around.
In the prosperous neon country, there are many drunken fans. The old man was like visiting the Grand View Garden. First his son's daily cartoons came into view, and then he was pulled to see the dance performance, and he enjoyed half a bubble bath with personal service. He wore his wife's clothes and took her to see the cherry blossoms. After a few days of doing nothing, he saw a girl with a white face dancing with a phone under the cherry blossom tree.
"Buta, the dance of shadows, the dance of the living and the dead. Feel the wind, feel the light, and you can dance with the people who have passed away." The girl said, the dance is like a corpse that is playing with life and standing tall, so it is Can transcend the boundaries of life and death, embrace life and embrace death. The girl's thoughts of her late mother can be conveyed through Butoh. She taught Rudy to dance and sent Rudy to the subway. The care of a strange girl is in stark contrast to the son who is busy with his daily work and cannot ask for help. Compared with children, outsiders care and understand more about them, which makes people feel embarrassed.


Rudy and Yu went to Mount Fuji together. But Fujisan-kun was really too shy, often hiding his face to show others, and finally one morning, Fujisan-kun showed his true face. Rudy painted white face, put on his wife's clothes and went down the mountain to fulfill his wife's wish. Rudy's dance steps under Mount Fuji made him truly feel the joy of dancing with Du Li's arms. As his daughter Lily Lover said, maybe he was really happy in the end. The dance is very beautiful. Du Li seems to exist in Rudy's body. If you love someone, you will become TA before you know it.
Yu said to the younger son, your parents should be happy now, because they have become this (a pair of cabbage rolls that depend on each other).
The female director makes the details of the movie moving. His wife wears sunglasses in the car to cover up her choking emotions, holding hands at the moment before going to bed, two people wearing a knitted sweater at the beach, and after the death of his wife, he puts his wife's picture on the left side of the bed. Clothes, lying on the right side by yourself... true love should be so close to each other, you can be silent, but a hug is enough. Cherry blossoms can best represent the moment. They open silently and fall quietly. Time always likes to give people the illusion of being in a different world. Time is passing, in our lifetime, the people we cherish can grow old with us slowly, this is the greatest happiness in life.
