Love doesn't know where it started,
deep love ,

love is deep in death, which one is not the struggle, the storms, the hard-won, the oath is strong, and the mouth often says, the heaven and the earth are together, it is Dare to be with Jun Jue, these words are very moving. It's not unbelief. In life, it's just talk.

After all, the fragility of life is too cruel compared to life. Perhaps because of this, there is a meeting in this life, seeing you in the next life, and there is a beautiful legend of the broken monument and the turning of a feather into a butterfly. Unfortunately, those beautiful things can only be exist in the legend.

I really want to interpret the film in detail, but what I hate the most at this moment is the spoiler party, so I try to provoke people who read the text with words that don’t make sense and catch the shadows. What does it have to do with me, what do I have to worry about.

I really like the handling of the ending. After the daughter is married, the old father returns and peels the apple alone. When it is halfway, the peel is interrupted and the camera cuts and turns. It is the endless sound of the sea.

Each flower has its own eyes, who can be smooth sailing, and who can end at the same time, life is just like this peel, between the knife and the fruit, thinking in desire, pain, harmony, and ending at the end of fate, the remaining half The peel, whether to peel or not, leave it to the sea to answer.

    You can see that the curvature of the corners of the mouth seems to have risen to the limit, but I can't help but question and make wishful assumptions about the possible sadness behind this smile, but it seems to be an unreasonable assumption. It's ridiculous, as if I just don't want to believe it. Such a pure and clear laugh... This movie is like Setsuko Hara's laugh

    I thought it would be peaceful, but also quite intense. It's not as boring as I imagined, but it's not boring at all... And music is very important, Ozu likes to ask a lot of words in one sentence... Fortunately, there is an aunt, otherwise how can we proceed? The footage has a backdrop of American occupation
