We are all ordinary people.

The three people in the film are all characters in our lives. I suddenly realized that the difference between movies and TV series, a good movie must show real human nature, while TV series usually have the halo of the protagonist. (Except for a few favorite Korean dramas.) Ms. Dejiang in the movie, the store manager, Wakana. A leper, a poetic man who has been in prison, a high school student from a poor single-parent family.

They don't have any protagonist halo, they all seem to be friends we meet in life. Incredibly real. And the film reminds me personally.

Don't say it, it's not good to say it. A lot of Japanese movies fit my aesthetic. Two words, beautiful.

    Can the leaves speak badly, can the birds speak badly, can the red beans speak badly? Isn't the old lady looking cute? By the end of 75min, I think it's pretty good.

    The taste of red bean paste. It doesn’t seem to be a problem for the auntie to boil red beans alone or to call on the society to show more care for leprosy patients, but first dorayaki, then leprosy, and finally return to the girl’s heart of "if there is an afterlife, be a tree". , It's still too much like those things she did in the Nara community. The purpose of making a movie should be pure and profligate, but it's actually not good.
