Sometimes I just see the light

The seventeenth film began to trace back to Hirokazu Kore-eda's film. After watching "From Here Again", I decided to watch his work from the beginning again in a very tight time, because I said that I like documentaries but There was no way to develop it, so I saw the director's documentary experience for so long in the book, and I was very envious, and I began to wonder if I had missed too many stories and emotions contained in the pictures before.

Yumiko's doubts may also be the doubts of many people, but when she wakes up and opens "Next Stop, Heaven", she sees the same passages written in the book, that is, if you want to choose the one you want to review most in your life When a picture is, I suddenly understand, sometimes there are really not many reasons, I just want to quietly choose a life I want, live or die, but what I want to chase is only There was a ray of light, or I just saw the ray of light that I wanted to chase at the right time, and just walked on like that, without too many reasons.

I may also be lonely in the crowd, and I may feel abundant when I am alone. This is my own choice.

    The lack of just the right narrative and the tenacity and tension hidden inside after de-dramatization, the roar of the sea can't cover up the questioning of life and death; it is Hirokazu-eda who uses the picture to give the ambiguous but possibly the closest answer to the truth.

    Believing that her husband is a liar, she has not lost her deep love for her ex-wife. He is clearly pretending, and he has not let go of his attachment to his ex-husband. Life is like falling down when learning to ride a bike, spreading salt when eating watermelon, but death to some people is like the call of light from the sea to those who go to sea. The child wants to hide the abandoned boat in the cabinet, the grandma wants to catch crabs in the violent sea breeze, and she needs to participate in a death farewell, like the old man living alone next door, turn up the radio volume to prove that she is alive.

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.
