    It's Yukazu-eda! ! I watched this slow-moving movie when I was in high school, and even if it was a deadly long shot, Asano was so handsome when he was young...

    A woman's gloomy life. Yes, someone always dies, but in the early days he was much colder than he is now. From the color to the clothes, it didn't warm up until the end, but after all, hope was cast. Taiping is too...

    Very quiet and beautiful. Clean and restrained expression. There is quiet and sincere affection, grief, and regret. Those tender and compassionate everyday details are also moving. Poetically meditating on the enormity of loss, the immense aloneness of grief, and the bittersweetness circle of found and lost and found throughout life journey. The series of scenes of the funeral was so beautiful; in the endless sound of the tide, they walked silently in the mountains, the snow Su swiftly drifted...

    It's better than "Walking Nonstop", "Like Father Like Son" and "Deeper Than the Sea". It's amazing as a debut novel. It's not as bright as those few movies, the plot and pictures are dark, there is little conflict, and the occasional emotional outburst directly pierces people's hearts (including the other party's reaction). The composition is very, very subtle, people blend into the scene, hidden in the dark. Images of bicycles and trams are repeated. The overall quiet and meaningful, profound...

    When I was young, I couldn't keep my mother-in-law, and I couldn't keep my husband after marriage. The melancholy and dark tone, a large number of fixed camera long shots and empty shots, calm as water, the final funeral scene and the questioning at the seaside, the doubts and depression in the heart for many years, broke out in an instant, and a sense of loss poured into the heart....

    It was Yumiko who was watching the Shenzhen Film Festival and the last cry of her collapse at the beach couldn't help but burst into tears, but why did he commit suicide? It's like the nightmare she had been troubled by when she was a child, why did the grandma run away from home? They didn't abandon her, there was something calling them that was phantom...

    There is nothing profound about life and death, and many movies are not discussing life and death at all! Is life and death discussed? ? ? I don't read the short reviews anymore, I'm angry. This film is my dish, I love this kind of film. Question: Is the last scene the heroine throwing herself into the sea after writing the...

    5.0 Many still life scenes show the passage of time, and every silent scene is exciting. The surface is shallow, but the inside is a deep sigh. This method is especially like reading ancient Chinese poems. With just a few strokes (careful strokes), people can understand what kind of state of mind it is. It was so beautiful that I would like to rewatch it a hundred...

    Phantom Light

    Phantom Light is Hiro-eda's
     
     
    calm and long film. Emotions are very measured. No matter how deep the pain is, it is like a deep pool of water. Since when, I have become accustomed to turning inward.
     
    The long shot is very beautiful. On the occasion of the sky and the sea, on this side and the other...

    A little thought after the second brush: about camera language and regrets as a debut

    The little girl looked in the mirror and heard the bicycle bell ringing outside the wall behind her, and turned around.

    This is the first shot of Hirokazu Kore-eda as a feature film director to show the world his continuous picture of the Japanese family in the future: the individual looking inside,...

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.
