Several elements throughout the film: light (various lights), bells (car bell, bell), bicycle + key, green, death
Yumiko, who was looking in the mirror, heard the sound of the bicycle bell, and a boy riding a bicycle passed through the alley behind him. There was a broken wooden partition between the two. The Yufu family had just moved here, and the door was locked because the landlord was not at home.
Grandma carried a small bag, and once again set foot on the road back to her hometown of Shikoku by herself. Yumiko caught up on the bridge and persuaded her to go home. The two spoke in different accents. Grandma didn't have enough money, but she still walked steadily step by step. Yumiko watched for a long time with her back pacing while supporting her waist, she couldn't understand her grandmother. (Yumiko has a Kansai accent, Amagasaki is on the edge of Osaka, the two cities are basically integrated, and my grandmother has a Shikoku accent. The only thing left in Shikoku is probably the local accent and the family's tomb.)
Under the green street light, Wu Wu, who was brushing his teeth in the alley, watched the neighbors set off fireworks, while Yumiko, who was watching from upstairs, was afraid that he would never see her grandmother again. He came to the bridge again, and when he returned to the alley, he heard the bell ringing again. Yu Fu was tired and went home.
On the day grandma left, he appeared in front of her.
they got married.
In the green atmosphere, Yu Fu came from the other side of the bridge on a bicycle, passed the railway crossing, stared at the passing tram (note the two signs), Yao was looking at something, then turned back, passed the bridge hole and the commercial street, came to The Ono clothing store where I live. My bicycle was stolen, so I went to the wealthy area near Jiaziyuan and stole one back.
Yumiko, who came home from the bathhouse, bought paint. The husband was lying in front of the fireplace, listening to the rakugo played on the radio of the old man next door, and the old man's laughter was clearly audible.
A couple painted a stolen bike with green paint at the park. The company is probably near Jiaziyuan. A new ex-sumo wrestler arrived in the factory, but his hair bun has not been cut yet. He started to learn to drive when he was about 30 years old, and listened to the instructions of his 18-year-old predecessor. Yumiko joked that the police near Koshien were chasing after her.
Asking the landlord to take care of his son Yuichi, Yumiko went to the printing and dyeing factory to find Yufu, and saw a green bicycle at the door. He stared at Yu Fu's back for a long time, but he didn't notice himself. After eating Okonomiyaki, the two of them were in a familiar coffee shop. Yumiko untied the bell on the doll bear and tied it to the bicycle key, "complaining" Yufu didn't notice himself watching him. On the way home, the two were fighting, discussing the spots on Yumiko's body.
The rain stopped in the morning, Yumiko went to the landlord Mrs. Ono's son Yuichi, who understood the trusteeship, and found Yufu who was going home to take an umbrella when it was about to rain. Because of the sound of the bell on the key, Yu Fu was kept waiting by his wife. The figure of the husband leaving, accompanied by the sound of the bell, watched for a long time. This is an ordinary day.
It started to rain in the afternoon, so I packed my clothes and took a bath for my son. My husband hasn't come home late at night. The police came to inform that the husband may have been involved in a tram accident. Looking at the key with the bell tied on the table of the police station, I confirmed it. The husband who was walking on the Hanshin Line greeted death with an envelope in his pocket.
The mother took a bath for her son, and the light from somewhere was reflected in the bathtub and reflected on the wall, with rippling spots of light. Yumiko couldn't answer her mother's question.
In the music of the kerosene car, Yumiko found the car key. Wandering around Amagasaki City by bicycle, the commercial street, the bridge hole, the route is the same as that of Yufu that night (note the two signs that appeared earlier). Yumiko still couldn't understand why Yufu committed suicide.
The green bicycle has become old, and it has been a few years since Mrs. Ono served as a matchmaker for Yumiko and was about to get married. In Mrs. Ono's introduction, Yumiko looked at the photos of Yu Fu and herself, and both of them smiled sweetly. This brightly tinted city rarely gets a chance to come back again. The old man next door gave Yuichi a large handful of transparent candies, and went down to thank him at his grandmother's suggestion. When he went downstairs, a few candies fell. Refused to see her mother off, Yumiko took her son on a journey.
The son is playing with candy on the train. The scenery outside the car was replaced by mountains and snow. After leaving the station, she sat quietly, Yumiko was a little dazed, is she thinking about going back to Amagasaki? The person who came to pick up was late, just as Mrs. Ono said, the second husband Minxiong was a serious person, and a third accent appeared . Stepdaughter Tomoko welcomes Yumiko. The scenery outside the car is the mountains and the coast, and the son, who was tired from the trip, fell asleep. Wajima City is at the northernmost tip of the Noto Peninsula, 320km from Amagasaki City in a straight line, and the journey is too far... Now the trains there have stopped running.
The mother-in-law had passed away, and the father-in-law was sitting in the kotatsu, repeating that he should rest early, and greeted Yuichi in Kansai dialect to sit on his lap. Yumiko found her stepdaughter Tomoko, who was sitting quietly in the kitchen (the wooden cushion she was sitting on, which will appear later), showing that she was taking on the responsibility of a mother. The old empty house, 5 people live, the sound of the waves at night is much bigger than that in Amagasaki.
The next day, led by her husband Minxiong, visiting neighbors and relatives, the sea was snowing when she left home. Minxiong introduced the customs and people and came to Wajima City, 4 kilometers away. (Wajima morning market is a major tourist spot in the area. There is an enko by Mizumori, which was played at the 2008 Red and White Song Festival.) While chatting with Mrs. Runo on the commercial street, the clouds in the sky drifted away, and another piece came. (note the light changes).
Many people came to the wedding banquet, and the long table was full of wine. Father-in-law hugged Yuichi, fed him, and ate himself. Xiong chewed while looking at his mother. Minxiong taught Yumiko to beat the beat. Mrs. Runo helped to warm up the wine in the kitchen and toasted the newlyweds, and Yumiko also poured wine for Mrs. Runo. The quiet Singer sewing machine, the swinging pendulum of the wall clock, the neighbors saying hello on the back path, the sound of children playing, and the sound of the mallet hitting the clothes, all mingled with the sound of the waves.
Children are the closest to each other. Tomoko took his younger brother to run around the mountains, play in the snow, pass by terraced fields, worship Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, look at abandoned fishing boats, and carry the jutsu on his back when passing through the green tunnel. When taking the neighbor's car home, Yu gave the candy given by his grandfather next door to Amagasaki to his sister, and the candy had already melted. Tomoko shows Yumiko the rhubarb they picked.
Then the child will be close to the adult. Minxiong was working on wood in the studio. Although it was noisy, Yuichi closed his ears and watched his stepfather work. Yumiko cut Tomoko's hair outside the bathroom. Tomoko whispered that she would have long hair after junior high school, and Yumiko said that she would be more beautiful. Xiongyi soaked in the bath and counted, and when he counted to 40, he came up with the pool, and Minxiong asked him to continue counting.
Life in the village is as simple as that, go out to sea to fish, catch the city of Wajima (the bus passes through the village), and fish on the breakwater.
In summer, the family sits on the promenade eating watermelon and spit watermelon seeds into the yard. At night, mosquito coils on the tatami and fans on the shelves, and a model of a boat on the TV.
Tomoko goes to school, Yuichi and grandpa sleep on the boat. Light filtered in from the rear window, and Yumiko was cleaning the house.
Yumiko hummed after sex, the daily life of the beach in summer, wind chimes, waves, cicadas.
Tomoko and Yuichi are singing on the train, and they are going away. The snow on both sides of the railway had long since disappeared.
Back to Amagasaki City, the feeling of the city. Gossip with mother about the life of younger brother Takeshi. Visited the former landlord Mrs Ono. Walking on the old road, I still turn back when I hear the car bell. The owner of the coffee shop was still there, and Yu Fu had been here the day he left, and everything was normal. The printing and dyeing factory was empty. The ladders and corridors of the old apartment are quiet, and the old man next door should not live here. He really is no longer in this city.
After finding the bicycle key and holding it in his hand, Minxiong returned to the bedroom after taking a shower.
Mrs. Noru squatted and watched Yumiko wash the radish. The whole family builds a fence to protect against typhoons.
When the bicycle bell rang, Yumiko realized that the window was not closed, and the birds outside had begun to chirper, so she opened the window to look at the sky, and found that Mrs. Runo was going to go fishing. After watching the calm sea for a while, she heard the sound of the whistle. Min-hyung woke up and talked, talking about the spots on her body. Yumiko lit a candle and checked it again. The last time she was in a coffee shop, she thought of Yu Fu.
The wind is blowing, and the sky is about to change. Yumiko worried about Mrs. Runo because of the nightmare in the early morning. The father-in-law comforted Yumiko, saying that even if the boat capsized, Mrs. Noru would swim back. When the oil was filled in the oil tank, a blizzard fell outside, and the turbulent waves washed the embankment. Someone knocked on the door, and I don't know what kind of news they brought. Mrs. Runo joked that she came back from swimming (echoing her father-in-law's comfort). Her husband went into the kitchen to comfort Yumiko, who didn't say a word, and whispered something, and she smiled.
Going home from shopping in the commercial street, Yuichi wanted to play with the bicycle parked in the store. The stroller was green. Chatting with Mrs. Yeliu, I mentioned husband Yu, and probably Minxiong's ex-wife. In the evening, Yumiko took out the key of the green bicycle from the drawer, missing the person who painted together. Talking to a man who has finished drinking is a waste of effort, even if he is a little sober, he will still be a little smoky. With nowhere to vent her jealousy, what Yumiko said to Minxiong was not something she said to herself.
Guiding the ship, the street lamp stands alone on the dam, and scattered light spots on the sea surface with waves. Don't want to leave?
Grandpa listened to the radio, Tomoko stood on the wooden mat humming and washing dishes, and two dogs passed by outside the window. Without the company of his sister, Yuichi was playing with a ball on the slope in front of the door. This is an ordinary day.
In order not to be discovered, Yumiko, dressed in blue, sat alone at the station outside the village. The bus came and went. Unable to leave.
The sound of the bell rang from the black procession in the distance, which attracted Yumiko's attention. With the sea breeze, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky. The gloomy sky shrouded the sea, and the layers from top to bottom seemed to be dipped in ink from dark to light. Only the upper edge of the sea level was a little gray. The team walking on the field ridge moved slowly, like a row of ants on a canvas.
Yumiko quietly followed them, wanting to give away something for herself.
Minxiong, who drove out to find Yumiko, found her on a reef. The fire was roaring, probably the relics of the deceased, and thick black smoke swayed. Away from the fire, Yumiko confided her doubts and the feelings of her ex-husband that she could not forget. Minxiong didn't answer, but when his father was alone at sea, a phantom light called him to not let him go home (perhaps after the death of Minxiong's mother).
I bought the green children's bicycle for Yuichi, and my sister and stepfather accompany him on the slope in front of the yard. Chatting with the father-in-law who is looking at the sea, is he expecting to meet that phantom light again? Yuichi and Minxiong rode out of the village. On the small table on the second floor were paper and pen, and the letter to Yu Fu was probably finished.
======================
The theme of the movie - the loved one has left.
Simple fixed shots allow the audience to get close to the emotions of the characters in the picture.
Confused, struggling, filled with new things, unable to forget, occasionally recalled.
When you lose something, it is lucky to meet new things, not the norm. Please don't dwell on one thing, one person. In retrospect occasionally, that's enough.
Everything is legal. Like a dream bubble. Like dew, like electricity. It should be viewed as such.
