It's Hirokazu Koreeda who is my favorite Japanese director, completely conquered from "No One Knows" to "Never Stop". His films always make me calm. Whether it is sadness or joy, he carefully selects every detail in his life and presents it in front of your eyes without rendering, just stating and recording. It dawned on me that life was the same everywhere else here.
The life of the seaside village in The Lights reminds me a lot. Not the picture, but the sound. The creaking of the wooden door, the silence in the early morning, the sound of the sea clap on the shore, the sound of the heavy rain, as anyone walks in, they will find a door of memory, stop, and then turn and leave. Memories can never be returned.
I can't say that I understand everything. After all, I have too little to support all my emotions. After I stay, I will recall something and continue.
