The first time I watched "Mediocre Talents", my heart was so heavy. The director really didn't think the film was too solemn. At the beginning, it was the ruins of the earthquake, gray, and then the teenager pointed a gun at his temple. In the middle, he was beaten by his father. The debt collector beat, and later killed his own father, and then used a knife to kill... There was a kind of unbearable depression. I don't think this kind of high-density suppression is too much, but maybe it's because of Japanese culture. There are some things I can't understand, like what the earthquake meant to those affected people, which I may not understand just by watching movies. . But generally speaking, I like this movie very much, otherwise I would not have watched it twice in a row. Some things are good, but they may not be understood.
When I first saw a long shot dragging down those earthquake ruins, I wanted to close the movie, it was too heavy! But I fast-forwarded a bit, and when I saw Sumida running a marathon passing by Cha Ze's house, Cha Ze sat up from the bed excitedly and ran to the window to look. I became interested and looked at it from the beginning.
What piqued my interest at first was Chazawa's love for Sumita. This neurotic girl followed Sumita, collected his words, wrote them down and posted them on the wall of the room, and shouted excitedly while imitating his conversation with the teacher. , I think this girl is so cute. As for Sumita, he always has a pair of sleepless eyes and a cold expression (so handsome!), as if no one is in his sight, one is clinging to him, and the other begs her not to bother him , a nervous voice and a bright smile, and a weak and serious man with a stern smile.
Unfortunately, the fates of both of them were similar and tragic. Sumita's father drank heavily and owed gambling debts, and often beat him. His mother ran away with someone else's man. He just wanted to live a normal life in the business of chartering boats. However, she was abused by her father again and again, beaten by debt collectors, and finally couldn't bear to kill her own father, so her spirit was even more stimulated; Cha Ze's mother even prepared torture tools for her to kill her. I don’t see the meaning of poisoning and not eating children. All I see are parents who want to kill their own children. Here, the ethical principles have been subverted. I don’t understand it very well. It may be the aftermath of the earthquake. Parents have no money. Having children, as Sumita's father said in the movie, money is the real thing.
Born in the same unfortunate family, Chazawa's only sustenance is the land, so she collects his quotations like a lunatic, imitates his speech, and desperately helps him in the charter business. She imitated his intoxication when he spoke, the sweetness in her heart when she carefully helped him make and distribute leaflets, and the pain in her heart when she saw Sumita alone crying in the house, because her only sustenance was him, and It is this sustenance, this love, that allows Sumita to gradually get rid of the guilt after the murder. Sumita seemed to have fallen into the abyss of darkness. Chazawa desperately tried to pull him up to the light. In the last scene, the two ran to the police station, Chazawa kept shouting, "Come on, Sumita. It was this encouragement that made Sumita vent his inner depression and see hope for the future. In fact, I want to say that if the two did not have such a tragic fate, they would not be able to get together. One has high blood pressure and the other has low blood pressure, with very different personalities. If there is no such a tragic environment, Sumita, who yearns for an ordinary heart and is shy, will not fall in love with Chazawa, because even with such a big environment, the two have experienced so much, and Sumita still just said something to Chazawa. : "Thank you, Chazawa-san." The only thing that can show that there is love is the last gentle kiss, so if there is no such a big environment, there will be no such charming love. So, whether their love triumphed over the unfortunate fate, or the unfortunate fate made their love, this is what makes this film fascinating.
There are a lot of scenes in the film that left a deep impression on me. For example, the teacher said on the podium that everyone is the only flower in the world, and encouraged the students to work hard and be special people. At this time, Sumita suddenly said loudly: "Ordinary is the best!" (The eyes still do not wake up. ), in fact, here, I silently agree. Once upon a time, "Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai" also said this truth. Liang Chaowei said in the film review that he liked Liang Gu's performance, and I guess he should agree with this. There is also the scene of the night when Chazawa and Sumita were lighting candles, Chazawa's encouragement, Sumita's tears, and finally Sumita took the initiative to give a shallow kiss, which almost kissed the hearts of the audience, and the shy and painful Sumita fell in love It's not easy being alone. I'm so touched. Cha Ze's efforts were not in vain. At this time, she is happy and miserable. The happy thing is that her love has finally paid off. The painful thing is that the person she loves the most will turn herself in tomorrow. .
When I watched the last scene of the film for the first time, I cried, "Sumita, come on!", "Sumita, don't commit suicide.", "Sumita, say something." Chazawa encouraged Sumita as he ran, "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" Sumita shouted over and over again, shouting out the depression, shouting out the pain, shouting heartbreakingly, it was a wailing, I wanted to cry when I saw this, I'm not crying Because of their love, but for Sumita's fate, as this film as a whole tells, there are many kind people in life who do terrible things because of various circumstances, and they want to be good people But no, they were killed by the environment. They searched hard for the reason, trying to find the murderer, and finally became crazy, became crazy, became murderer, I think some people are ridiculed as crazy or something, behind every one of them There is a tragic story of what lies behind their vicious eyes. In fact, the charm of the movie itself is that it will dig up an unknown story behind a neurosis. It can rectify the name of the criminal and the neurosis. When the stories of these lunatics who are ridiculed, ridiculed and cursed are fully displayed in the film, when When their soft hearts were perceived, I was moved to tears, because in a sense, they were the kindest.
