aurora

The first time I watched it, I felt very vague. The death of her husband, as her later husband said, the grandfather who lived by the sea always felt the call of the sea. When he saw the aurora, he could not help but follow him. Go.

Then I deliberately looked at the front, and there was a huge discovery. At 7 minutes and 20 seconds of the film, that is, on the way back from stealing the bicycle, Asano deliberately rode to a junction, looked at the high place next to him, and the train behind him . On the train, there are red lights and green lights. Although it is very likely that this is the light from the house next to it, I still think that this is the aurora that Asano saw.

There are two reasons:
First, after riding over, Asano was violent. Brake, and then immediately look at the train coming from behind, obviously intentionally overtaking the train to see the aurora on it.
Second, it is not a wise move for a car thief to walk on the road casually. After that, Asano was in a daze for a few seconds, then turned around and went back. It means that he came here on purpose.

As for his choice to commit suicide on the rails, I tentatively understand that the railway is to him like the sea is to his grandfather. The aurora on the train, also calling him.

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.
