Like Father Like Son Short Review

The feeling mainly highlights the contrast between two different family education models. One emphasizes independence and strength, while the other emphasizes the importance of emotional harmony. The differences between the characters' experiences and the social status of the two families explain the causes of the two models. But Hirokazu Kore-eda seemed to compare the pros and cons for the audience in advance, and announced the victory of the other side with the independence and strong softening of the elite logic at the end of the story. Judging from the director's previous stories, emotional triumphs are naturally normal. However, the model of family education must not be judged by such a single standard. Parents will always use their own creeds to cultivate their children, because they have come this way. I'm also slowly understanding some of my parents' notions and feel that they may be the best fit for me. Because I inherited not only their chromosomes, but also the same living environment, social background and social circle, and whether I want to change or not, the first thing I need is to adapt. /// Overall, it ended up being a very healing story. Some people say that Hirokazu Kore-eda's films have a breath of life, but I still think that most of the time the director deliberately left a personal distance, and it still feels a little "cold". Xiaoqing in the movie is so cute, with big black eyes... At the end, there is a scene where the father and son walk on a fork in the road, the father apologizes to the son on another road, and finally the fork meets, and the two are reconciled, which is very symbolic Oh the design.

    "At first, the name Liuqing came from looking at Keita's face, but now it looks more and more like Keita's face." Clean and comfortable, slow and quiet, it was Hirokazu-eda's standard. The earth-shaking family changes are narrated through delicate expressions and a soothing and warm soundtrack. ★★★★

    No wonder Spielberg bought the copyright so quickly to prepare for the remake. The script added a lot of Hollywood-style writing methods and techniques to the structure and rhythm. The traces of creation have become heavier than before, and the script was written with inspiration and talent. Are the days of the book over? In fact, this kind of book is the most difficult to make. Although there is nothing shocking about it, Hirokazu Koreeda is enough to stamp any book with his own brand. ★★★★
