Eel Swimming from the Equator to Japan (Mourning Day Version)

I don't really appreciate the taste of eel. Every time I see the eel meat on the table, it always feels dark. Today, I finally saw a live eel, with a slender body and a beautiful shape, especially the curly shape. The fisherman in "The Eel" said: "In the past, people thought that there were no female eels, only males. The females had eggs in their stomachs, and after swimming 2,000 kilometers south, they spawned together in the sea where the salt changed. 2,000 kilometers is the equator. Nearby, the male eels that followed also shed sperm there. Many male and female eels died at this time. It took only five centimeters of small fish to arrive in Japan in a year, and tens of thousands of small fish were also sacrificed. The sea becomes full of corpses." A small fish of five centimeters, a year later, has become a big fish, and can live to feel the price and suffering of the quietness of the Sea of ​​Japan, shouldn't we learn from it?

If you love someone you shouldn't love, you can kill yourself; if you love someone who betrayed you, you can kill. A letter saying that the wife who came out of the mountain was having an affair. It was heartbreaking to see his beloved wife stealing from the window and the eyes covered with red silk were so heartbreaking. It was so painful, so painful, I felt the unbearable pain in Yamashita's heart, even if he was slashing violently at the moment, but he didn't shout out, how unbearable! It is normal for him to turn himself in. Is it worth avoiding? No, is it worth regretting? Neither. Perhaps the prison is a temple in the heart. Eight years later, when he was released from prison, he was surrounded by his best friend, an eel. He only likes to talk to the eel. Yamashita said that now only the eel can listen to him, so he decided to live a simple life in the suburbs, peaceful and secluded, really. Enough is enough, because I haven't forgiven myself yet.

Yoshiko Belly, a woman who should not appear in the remote suburbs, fell asleep in the midst of thousands of flowers. She slept very deeply due to overdose of sleeping pills. Suicide is often a momentary thought of human beings. Everyone else must have thoughts of suicide, but it depends on the degree of severity. Some people commit suicide for love, some for career, some for life, and some even for an item. The reasons are all-encompassing, and the final result is only two, either life or death. After being rescued by the mountain, Kako chose to start a new life from this suburb with a half-abandoned mentality.

"The Eel" has a lot of profound meanings. I think almost every scene, every scene, every plot is so interesting and closely linked, I can't help but give a thumbs up to the director Shohei Imamura! I've only watched one of his "Fellow the Mountain Festival", and because of the subtitle problem, I haven't seen the second half until now. Now I'm so excited, because I found another director that I might fall in love with, but unfortunately he passed away, alas. . . sigh sigh. . . Uncle Imamura, although your eel spirit has passed for more than ten years, I only know how to put it into practice now, little girl! As a five-centimeter fish, I will one day grow into a big fish and live in my own Sea of ​​Japan.

I believe that belief is important, but self-salvation is the right way. If you blindly follow the beliefs recommended by others, in the end, you will not only scold the gods, but even drive yourself to a dead end. Garbageman Gao Qi told me this sad truth. He was also released from prison. He said that he had devoted himself to the Buddha for three years, often reading the scriptures and wearing Buddha beads, but what was the real purpose in his heart? It's not just to bring good luck, well, for three years, he has not encountered any good things. He just got out of prison. Not only did he see the barber shop, but he also had a beautiful woman beside him. Hey, they are criminals. , Why can Yamashita have these, but he doesn't? ! Okay, the contrast mentality and the indulgent heart made Takasaki do a lot of annoying things, can you blame him? No, I think Takasaki is the most pitiful person. Perhaps only in the prison, with a prescribed living environment, can he accept his fate and become obedient. Is the outside world a paradise or a deeper hell? Too many whys will only make life harder, which reminds me of the 1900 saying in "The Pianist at Sea": "People on land always like to ask why."

What about down the mountain? Was he really as happy as Takasaki said after he was released from prison? Wouldn't it be more tragic for an Earthling with similar properties to aliens? I can understand why Yamashita doesn't trust anyone anymore, a lesson from the past! Let me ask, if it were me, I would also close myself, but according to my current personality, if I want to go the extreme way, I think I will become more talkative, no matter who is in front of me, I will put myself The truest emotions are buried under my face. I want to see how those who trust me will look after being betrayed by me. Look, this is revenge. Therefore, closure is not suitable for me. Revenge is my right path. Therefore, I will also A very ordinary prisoner. (Halo, why do you really put yourself into the identity of a pervert killer?).

Masaki, a high school student who is waiting for the UFO to appear, plays a very important role in the film and is an incarnation of hope. As we all know, he will never be able to wait for the UFO, because these are all deceitful people, but Masaki never gave up, he The altar where he summoned the UFO is getting bigger and bigger. It is brightly lit and very spectacular. Looking at his masterpiece, I am also very moved by his perseverance, not to mention the people around him? In fact, his actions inspired Yamashita, Kako, the fisherman, all of them. Yamashita asked Masaki: "Why do you want to summon UFOs?" "Because I want to be friends with them." "Aliens will not be friends with humans." "Aren't you the same under Yamashita?" At the end, a happy ending , Everyone gathered in Masaki, an altar composed of countless light bulbs and the big hair salon lights of Yamashita Barbershop, singing and dancing happily. Since when did Yamashita stop being alone? Since when did those who were rejected by him become his friends? Isn't this a stage of man's self-redemption? People cannot rely on individuals alone. Loneliness, loneliness, everyone has it. Although people are lonely, no matter how many friends you have around you, they will not feel how happy or unhappy you are. How? I just want others to be happy when I'm happy, and I don't want others to be sad with me when I'm sad, isn't it that I'm not lonely when I have such thoughts? Would we feel this way if we were just a single person, Solitude? No.

People always have shortcomings. Jealousy can really become a murderous intention. Finally, knowing that Yamashita is impotent, as a man, his wife who cannot satisfy his own self-esteem is extremely hurt. In the end, Yamashita promised to be the father of the child in Jiazi's belly. Jealousy and tolerance became a big contrast. At the same time, it also hinted at the change in Yamashita's heart, which is really a good reflection! I am very impressed.

Yamashita put the eel that he had raised for many years back into the sea, and he said to the eel, "I will be like you for the time being, raising the child of an unknown man. Your mother lays eggs in the equatorial sea, and the sperm of male fish is scattered in the sea. There, so pregnant, don't know which fish's child, don't know, but took it back, brought it back to the Japanese river with great sacrifice."

"It's time to say goodbye", yes, it's time to say goodbye to the past self, looking for a new world.

May we all have the eel spirit! A moment of silence for all the deceased compatriots, continue to work hard to see home again, and make the world proud of our China! - 08.5.12 (Mourning Day)

    [Supplementary standard] VCD era movie?, I have not forgotten the DVD, I saw the 134-minute (extended version), this year's Beijing Film Festival will show the 110-minute version (film? ️ version), so I re-download the 134-minute DVD quality version and watch it again (There should be no Blu-ray version of this film). This film and "Paradise Lost" were released in Japan in the same year, and the characters are very different.
