say goodbye

Minxiong said to Yumiko: Everyone is chasing a beam of light that belongs to them, and those who leave are just looking for it. Yumiko was relieved by this sentence or the man in front of her, and the director did not tell us the answer. But these don't seem to matter anymore, love or not love doesn't matter, life goes on, but sometimes we need to say goodbye.

Grandma's loss, husband's suicide, and the death of those closest to Yumiko's eyes seemed so sudden. If grandma's loss was a regret for her, then her husband's farewell did not give her any chance. Such a mystery What kind of life will accompany her, I can only find the answer in black clothes. The director obviously made an implicit exploration on the issue of death, whether it is the joy of life or the joy of death. The confident car painted with green paint is handed over to her. Is it an entrustment before suicide, how can I believe you? I am willing to leave, your departure will turn me into a prison.

Life has to go on. Two people who have lost their loved ones continue to love each other with each other's pain. Does love really matter? Seeing the heroine put on white clothes again, and see the light through a window, I also think that all the sufferings I have experienced will finally be relieved, but please say goodbye when you leave!

The director didn't seem to tell us a story, he just used a long shot to shoot the daily life, making you feel like time is passing by you like water, but you are still full of emotion, yes, you see life in it, you see it Himself, yes, this is Hirokazu-eda.

Maborosi quotes

  • Yumiko: It's harder to say goodbye if we keep postponing it.

  • Yumiko: [Recalling her first husband's unexplained suicide] I just... I just don't understand! Why did he kill himself? Why was he walking along the tracks? It just goes around and around in my head. Why do you think he did it?

    Tamio: [after giving it some thought] The sea has the power to beguile. Back when dad was fishing, he once saw a maborosi - a strange light - far out to sea. Something in it was beckoning to him, he said... It happens to all of us.
