"I know that flies fall into milk, black and white at a glance;
I know it too, I know it all. I know my identity by dress, and I know that too;
The weather is good or bad, I know it, I know it; I know it when I see an apple tree, I know it;
The diligent and the lazy can see at a glance that everything is clear to them, except for themselves.
All in all, I know it all. A healthy complexion is very different from a pale complexion, I know it;
Death will bring an end to all things, and everything is clear to the heart, except itself. "
Everyone in this world lives very hard. We have been taught by our teachers to have dreams, ambitions, and pursuits since we were young, but few people are brave like the hero Sumita in the film. Stand up and shout that ordinary is the best, maybe we all agree with the teacher's words from the bottom of our hearts.
I won't admit defeat, my ambition is high, so I won't be frustrated by this old-fashioned plot, I just happened to be down by a pair of scumbag boys and girls, but... But, I'm not a scumbag, I'm not like a scumbag Scum like you, wait and see, no one can change my future, I will not become a scum like you, I will become an excellent person.
But it is obvious that this ordinary road is really extraordinary. Cha Ze, who likes him, also said that he is no longer ordinary after he dropped out of school.
Sumita's father was a gambler and would not come back except when he was short of money, and his mother ran away with other men and left Sumita to live alone. Although he inherited a shipyard, he was too lazy to take care of it. Due to the nuclear leak, many people were homeless, so a group of people who seemed to be very different in age and image gathered around the Sumita house. Although they were expected, they were also living contentedly.
And the ordinary life mentioned by Sumita probably originated from this. There is no hope in life, the future is only as wide as the lake, the love of parents is only fist and indifference, and everything that can be seen is ruins and decadence. The word ordinary has also become a high hope.
Is Sumita a mediocrity? He has no happy family, no bright future, no extraordinary specialties, only a bunch of down-and-out bereaved people and hustlers living every day, he is really mediocre, mediocre like the dirt under his feet, like Weeds on the roadside.
But even though life is so unbearable, there are still people who admire and follow him. His classmate Cha Ze almost stubbornly likes Sumita, even if he dropped out of school with him, even if Sumita beats and scolds himself, even though Sumita is dying step by step, Cha Ze will never leave him. Abandoned land supports him and helps Sumita run a start-up charter shipyard.
Although the material conditions of Chazawa's family are better than that of Sumita, it is nothing but a whitewashed hell. The parents' abuse of their daughter is outrageous, and they even built a torture rack for her to hang. Facing the beastly behavior of his parents, Cha Ze could only recite the poem in vain, expecting to find some traces of life in Sumita's life. Even if Sumita hates himself and insults himself, he just picks up a stone and curses, because Sumita's body It has the smell of its own corruption, and has the same dark shadow as itself.
Although Chazawa is a bit of a middle schooler, he is far more active than Sumita. Even if he has to face such parents and such a unique gallows every day, Chazawa still lives hard and helps Sumita. Is Cha Ze a mediocrity? She is even an idiot, an idiot who is too stupid to have no dignity, and a fool who is low in the dust for love. She is the black stone with the curse in her pocket, and she is the only flower in the world in the poems she reads.
Sumita finally broke out in his father's torture and killed the gambler's father with his own hands. Since then, his life has fallen into a doom. Despite this, Sumita still hopes to make a little contribution to the world, that is to kill some harmful to society. The bastard, such as the shady person who can’t see the praise of beauty, such as the selfish person who slashes at the morality of not giving up his seat, such as the underworld big brother who punches and kicks himself.
A person who clearly only wanted to live an ordinary life, but he took the most deviant path, drove away the happy friends around him, and deceived and beaten Cha Ze who had always supported him. The so-called contribution was just a way to vent his anger. Sumita has completely become the kind of scum he used to shout.
Cha Ze looks cute, but she's actually very smart. Sumita's lies didn't deceive her. In the end, she guessed the reason for Sumita's fall, so she happily painted Sumita's charter yard with those homeless people and decorated it into a warm place. The romantic cottage, after Shuita came back, Chazawa tried hard to persuade him to surrender, to reflect, to return to a normal life, and promised that he would always wait for him to come back and live that ordinary life together.
Sumita did not become angry because the lie was exposed, and agreed to Chazawa's suggestion to surrender himself, but while Chazawa was asleep, he picked up the pistol, walked to the center of the lake, and pulled the trigger.
The Japanese name of the movie is called Secret. According to the manga, Sumita hid the secret in order to cover up the fact of killing his father, but Chazawa discovered the secret and used love and waiting to influence Sumita's story.
At the end of the movie, although Sumita pulled the trigger, of course it wasn't suicide, but awakened himself with the sound of gunshots and started a new life. Accompanied by Chazawa, he ran towards the road while shouting cheers, It can be said that it is one of the few positive energy displays in this film, and it also brings the most important turning point to the dark content of more than two hours.
However, the ending just makes a work that could have been a god movie turned into a mediocrity. In the original work, although Chazawa fully demonstrated his love, love cannot save the world, or even change death. I won't admit defeat, my ambition is high, so I won't be frustrated by this old-fashioned plot, wait and see, no one can change my future, I won't become a scum like you, I will become excellent people.
see it? This is the real mediocrity.
