Phantom Light

In half a year, I watched it four times, and I wanted to say a lot. It was only today that I figured out a little - for those who have passed away and those destined to pass away, there is no need to chase them. . . Yumiko has been unable to explain Yufu's death, so she can't start a new life. It wasn't until she slowly attributed it to her curse of "watching the back" that she gave herself an absurd comfort. She thought she could finally be freed, but Liu Nao's departure and return made her fall into a bigger breakdown. She could only try to exile herself to pursue the illusion like Yu Fu, but in the end, it was shattered... She could not be take away. . It was Zhi who worked hard, but no result was his greatest success, and so did I.

    Believing that her husband is a liar, she has not lost her deep love for her ex-wife. He is clearly pretending, and he has not let go of his attachment to his ex-husband. Life is like falling down when learning to ride a bike, spreading salt when eating watermelon, but death to some people is like the call of light from the sea to those who go to sea. The child wants to hide the abandoned boat in the cabinet, the grandma wants to catch crabs in the violent sea breeze, and she needs to participate in a death farewell, like the old man living alone next door, turn up the radio volume to prove that she is alive.

    To be reasonable, some passages are still a bit eloquent. Several Hou Hsiao-hsien camera positions and several Ozu compositions. It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who was stubborn and reluctant to talk when he was young, and was silent about life and death, and only started to gossip later. But that doesn't stop me from liking the phantom light, the sea of ​​Kanazawa, the long breathing between the ebb and flow of the tide, like a character, placed in the mirror from beginning to end. When can life and death be truly understood, maybe only when the boundary between sea and sky is blurred

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.
