Thinking about this movie I watched in my bedroom by myself, I was furious after watching it, I felt that it was not exciting at all, and it was not worthy of the rating. It was hypocritical and second grade.
So I wrote long reviews everywhere in anger, and even came here to give one star
At that time, someone said: "Have you not entered the society yet? I didn't feel much when I watched this film, but after I entered the society, I felt that the connection with my family was very precious, and I felt very moving when I watched it again.
Me: (don't believe it at all)
Me now: You are right! ! It's me! ! Could it be that I traveled back to the past and left a message for myself!
...Actually, the shortcomings I complained about at the time were still vivid, for example, some scenes were really embarrassing. . Grandma sits on the phone at home to plan strategies, grandma passed away, the heroine's "Why Can't Tears Stop", the heroine's transformation into a magical girl at the end of the heroine, these are still in my opinion... I have to curl up my hands and feet when I watch it.
But how to say it? Maybe with time and circumstances, people's focus is really different. In 2020, people and things around me have changed a lot. The biggest feeling is that human connections have become thin because of distance, and I can clearly feel the loneliness and anxiety of being isolated and disconnected. I have also changed a lot and left the campus.
Therefore, when watching this movie again, the focus is no longer on the blunt emotional lines of the male and female protagonists, all kinds of plot flaws and bugs.
The scene of a big family making a fuss, adults babbling clichés about the bravery of the past, and arrogant children running around, that kind of scene started to make me feel both annoying and warm. After the old lady scolded "This day こ こ で die ぬ", the next sentence was "My own mistakes have to be cleaned up by myself", which reminded me of my own parents. The old man passed away, and I noticed that the mother with the baby heard the baby crying and had to say "I'm sorry" and wipe the tears immediately to get up and run to feed the baby.
Also, in the corridor, the family sat there in twos and threes, and there was a cloud field outside, some feeding babies, some hugging crying children, and some sitting quietly, sharing their grief with each other . That scene suddenly made me think that it was "ethnic group" and "family". That seems to be the only thing a person can count on, and one can hold on to when he lives alone in the world. It may be short-lived, it may be volatile, but in that brief period of time together, they rely on each other and support each other.
I admit that this Eastern collectivist notion of family is almost etched into my DNA. I just found out too. It is difficult to judge whether it is good or bad, whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I just thought, like, I was raised up this way; it just looks so familiar so reliable.
In the old man's suicide note, he mentioned the illegitimate child who had not returned home, and said that if he came back, he would be full, and no matter how difficult it was, everyone should sit together and eat well.
It turns out that I don't like this part, I think it's very hypocritical. I don't look down on those noisy relatives, those women who talk a lot, and go back and forth between household chores and children, those people who have not faded away from their recklessness and middle-aged in middle age, their careers and life are ordinary but partial. A man who likes to talk big and pushy.
How insane I am.
Now I realize that the people around me, my loved ones, and possibly myself in the future, are just that kind of people. They have all kinds of flaws, but they are very precious to me. As tal said, you see the negative but meanwhile do not ignore the positive; or as Araki said, a work can have (even obvious) shortcomings, but as long as there are strong enough distinct advantages, readers will accept the same .
The change in the film is probably such a focus change process.
It really feels right now that there is a place waiting for you to go back and someone to sit down and eat with you. How good is this. What else can you expect?
