is lust and

The whole film uses a large number of slow motion shots above the panorama to create a strong sense of distance, and the hazy and low-key recall-style backlighting effect successfully creates the atmosphere after the incident. Yumiko's all-black dress is like the mystery of her husband's death. Throughout the whole film, the guilt for failing to retain her grandmother was reflected in Yu Fu's death, and it was not until Xiongmin's last sentence "the sea is calling me" that she let go of her deep-seated guilt for her grandmother and her husband. However, in some parts of the film, the footage is indeed too long and has no special meaning, and the lit part at the end cannot hold up a long and depressing section in the middle, which gives the impression that the explanation is a little far-fetched. But as a lustful debut, it has already overwhelmed many debuts.

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.
