Punch is Hirokazu Kore-eda's debut novel.

Stealing a Bicycle This episode thinks of a bicycle thief. I found that I was more accepting of this event than I thought, and in fact this feeling comes up so often that my bottom line seems to be out of the ordinary.

There are a lot of "still" scenes in this movie, the background sound is the pattering rain, the noisy ocean waves, the kettle shooting the hot water, the bedroom window, the lonely coast. There are also many use of long-range lenses in the film, which is very artistic. There is actually no answer to the topic of death, something beckons Yu Fu to make him commit suicide, which is more poetic and philosophical than death for various other reasons in life. I understand Yumiko's inner tormented feeling, just like the feeling in "The Missing Child". If a child dies of illness or accident, everyone will be sad, sad and missed, but life will go on. But the child disappeared, and this matter will never end. When you see a child of the same age, you will think about what my child is going through and where she is... Yumiko must be like this, Yu Fu. Why leave the three-month-old child, love his wife, and leave resolutely, this is a mystery that can never be solved, and a mind that will never be forgotten. At the end of the day, it's not an acceptable goodbye.

But people still have to live. Those obsessions always need to be let go. Taking off the black clothes and putting on bright clothes again also means that Yumiko finally got rid of the shadows of the past and really began to immerse herself in the present life.

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.
