Nothing represents the moment more than cherry blossoms

The deepest impression is the sentence in it.

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and
many scenes are just like the title of the film, very beautiful. Small towns in Germany, Berlin, the Baltic Sea, Tokyo, Mount Fuji... There is beauty

about indifference
, too, including "ugly". The grown-up children do not welcome the visit of the elderly parents, and hope that they will go back as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for themselves, and even fail to give more care to the father after the death of the mother. It's cold, it's real, and this real indifference is so familiar to me.
"I don't think I know the children anymore"
"Dad's behavior is really getting weirder... Maybe it's time to send him to see a psychiatrist"
In the day-to-day work of the fathers, the characters continue to grow, and then from From then on, they will have their own new world, their own sky, and will no longer be willing to accompany them, even if it is temporary companionship, they are stingy with giving the elderly.
Justified? Inhumanity...
Generation gap is inevitable, but when this becomes the reason why we don't "love", who is to blame...

About "self"
"In her body, there is another self, I just Lucky to see part of it..." Du Li is like this, and so are many people. Although the external self is important, it is also necessary to give space to the other self from time to time to care for him. After all, "no one can fix our hearts".

(It's a rare German movie that is easy to understand. If it weren't for the live German dialogue, I can't believe it's a German movie, neither serious nor jerky...well done, I love it)
