Unwinding is beneficial

This is a movie that I cried from beginning to end. In fact, the plot is very simple. Two old people went to Tokyo to visit their children, while their children were busy with work and did not have much time to accompany the old people to visit Tokyo. died. This movie is not deliberately sensational, and it does not try to make big sense, but I feel that within two hours, I have finished watching my whole life.


Childhood is innocent and happy

Children can do anything. It’s okay to be naughty, and it’s okay to be playful, but the elders can’t help you anyway.

Children have the right to be selfish, because the world in the eyes of children is so small, and they are the king. I don't need to do things I don't want to do, I don't need to reach out to people I don't know, even if that person is my family member; I don't need to share my time and space if I don't want to. Because I'm still young, I can cry and make a fuss.

But why should I be sensible, I am still a child. Taking a ten thousand steps back, you adults have brought me up like this, even if I am wrong, it is your adults' fault, and it has nothing to do with me.

Young people are positive and good

The values ​​of youth are the most positive. The conversation between Kyoko and Noriko at the end of the movie is very real. Young Jingzi couldn't accept the actions of her elder brothers and sisters, their perfunctory attitude towards her mother's death, and their only thinking about their own lives. And Noriko told her that no one wants this subjectively, but when you are older, you will naturally be like this. Whether you like it or not, you will slowly become the most despised person you were back then.

In the eyes of young people, black is black, and white is white. In the eyes of young people, there is no compromise. But when I grew up, I realized that it was not necessary.

Because the world is very complicated, because when I grow up I realize that the world is very big, and what I can control is such a body, and the other things I can't control are "complex". So what can we do?

Middle age is introverted and chaotic

All the struggles of middle-aged people are for their own survival. On the last night of the two old people in Tokyo, the grandfather went to an old friend to drink and chat, chatting and chatting about their children, and when they talked about their children, they talked about the most embarrassing place.

The older generation thought, how much I hope you work hard, I hope you can get ahead, but why don't you?

But who doesn't want to stand out? But the world is so big and there are so many people, how can I get ahead?

After all, it's the volume. Tokyo in the 1950s is reeling, Beijing in the 2020s is reeling, and the world is reeling. When I was in school, I was writing 20,000 words for a paper with a maximum of 5,000 words. When I entered the society, I had to write it. After all, there were many monks and few porridge. If life is a rope, rolled and rolled, a sunny avenue will become a black hole.

So who can blame middle-aged people? Young people can, and young people are still full of enthusiasm. The elderly can, but the elderly did not experience rolls in that era. Middle-aged people can also, scolding you can bring me pleasure in the world of involution, anyway, if you are scolded, you have to continue the scroll, and if I scold you, I have to continue the scroll.

Roll it, roll it.

Roll up, roll up, and you'll be gone.

Old age is gentle and lonely

"I've visited Tokyo, and Atami has been here, so I can go home."

I've been able to do it for the rest of my life.


Hope we all have a bright future.

    I laughed, saying that Ozu's films have coherence, it is better to say that he fell into the shackles of narcissism. Years later, people will eventually see the film's acclaim as an insult to the value of contemporary cinema. Li Zhiyuan and Yuan Jiezi's performances were rigid and rigid, and there was no change. Obviously they came from the street, but they said they were for the royal family, hehehe.

I'm as dissatisfied as you are. But we can't expect too much from our children. Times have changed. We have to face it. That's what I think.
