Perhaps the road of life is too noisy. When we listen to too much, watch too much, and experience too much, our disappointment in life will gradually magnify and gradually become a kind of despair. It’s as if Paul stopped being casual, addicted to alcohol, and gave up on himself from the day his daughter eloped; Adrian tried his best to resist the new life after witnessing the shattering of his parents’ love and being forced to go to the countryside; After too much love, he simply ran out in one go.
Who was not a person who had the courage to fight against the world, who was full of passion and blood to explore the unknown, and the mountains and rivers could not stop the pace under his feet.
What is it that makes a person later, willing to be confined to a few inches of heaven and earth, and said that he will never see the past again.
In everyone's life, there are moments of meaningless anger, helplessness, and pain. It is these moments that accumulate and destroy the child in our hearts.
"Life is far more twisty and bizarre than we thought."
At the end of the film, the rebellious granddaughter and the elders reached a reconciliation, and the father and daughter of the Cold War also reached a reconciliation, in that summer full of sunshine and laughter.
I hope we outside the story can also find such an opportunity to say hello to our past self.
As said in "Summer of Kikujiro", "Life is like a journey, you will encounter various scenery along the way, but in the end we all have to return."
ps: The healing film continues the French-style laziness that "A Year in Provence" brought me, but there is no vineyard or lavender, only five grandparents and grandchildren, with a little Japanese fresh feeling.
