heavy tear gas

For the first time, I cried for a German film, from Berlin to Tokyo, "Sakura Bloom" ("Kirschblen - Hanami"), Germans can actually make such a sentimental film....

"I always dreamed of going to Mount Fuji to enjoy cherry blossoms , but if you don't go, it's better not to go."

At the beginning, his wife Trudi gave a monologue. Concealing her husband's cancer condition, I hope he will finish his life happily. Go to Berlin to see the children, go to the Baltic Sea, and even encourage her husband to complete a trip to Japan. . . Gradually drowning in deadly sensibility, he didn't expect that it was his wife who left the other party first.

From Bayern to Berlin, but every child has disrupted the law of life because of the sudden visit of the two elders. They do not want the elders to stay for too long, because they have no time to accompany them, because the room has to be given up, because there are many, they are familiar with The perfect parents have become unfamiliar burdens, but the daughter's close lover knows how to take care of the two elders. The old man, like many parents all over the world, yearns for the attention of his children but dares not say anything. He is cautious but unable to please him. The self-respecting old man can only hide his fear with anger and get angry at the ticket vending machine. Ask yourself, how long have you not had a good chat with your parents?

"I don't know them, and they don't know me anymore." The

relatives didn't kiss, and it was abruptly helpless, but on Thanksgiving, the cherry blossoms wept.

Here...the story is just about to start

the beautiful Baltic Sea, one day, Trudi hugged her husband, hoped that he would dance with her, hug the man she gave her all... The next day, she left, went to the kingdom of heaven. On the Baltic seaside where the sea breeze blew, Rudy finally found out how little he knew about the person who loved him so much. With his wife's Butato-like look in his hands, and his arms around her clothes, he finally lost himself...

because Guilt, Rudy came to Tokyo alone to fulfill his wife's long-cherished wish. Staring at Tokyo, the most prosperous city in the East, with a unique cold tone, the brilliance is blurred, and the sensuality is overflowing. With the lonely old man's film entering the hesitation, where does the old wife belong?

Until one day, under the cherry blossom tree, the figure of Buta was full of pink halo, and the girl of Buta told him that it was a shadow, not a person who danced; anyone could dance, dance with a living person, or dance with a ghost , so that you can be with your dead relatives.

Finally, at the foot of Mount Fuji, the picture of Butoh, the release of life, is full of cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms mean the beginning and the end. Tashiro of "The Imperial Law" died in the cherry blossom year, and the unrequited love of "April Story" ended under the cherry tree. The scattering of cherry blossoms has long brought a message of death to the story. Udi went to Tokyo during the cherry blossom season and walked the final road of his life. Like Sakura, Udi ended his life at the brightest moment.

Under Mount Fuji,

I wear your favorite kimono, put

on your makeup,

hope you dance with me, let it live

, let it dance,

until the twilight drum beats,

the time of the day

is its destiny, and

the flight of

the dusk is its destiny Its paradise


Cherry blossoms fall and tears fill the sky.


(This film was directed by the German female director Doris Dorrie, who loves Japanese culture very much. This film is used as the basis for Ozu Yasujiro's "Tokyo Story", which endlessly extends a scene, too many touching details can't be copied in words .Although I hate history and don't like Japan, I have to be convinced by its extreme delicacy. If life is short, it must be magnificent and gorgeous. Many elements of Japan are Chinese, but such a box lunch must be made incomparably delicate. Nation, you said that these things were handed down from China, but he cherished them and made them refined with a serious attitude. However, at a time when Sino-German relations were not so friendly, the German-Japanese partnership was hyped up in the year, which is somewhat of a A sense of marginalization that cannot be fought.)
