Untitled (beginning)

Why did my life become like this? Wanted to be a civil servant, but failed high school; wanted to be a writer, but inexplicably became a private investigator; wanted to be a lottery, but obviously impossible... Be a dad And yet not grown up, eager to change but deeply powerless. Just like the iceberg theory, we can only see the tip of the iceberg, and it is difficult to find the monsters under the ice. how to say? Personally, I think the whistle is very suitable for the occasion, and the cheerful soundtrack can not wash away the faint sadness in the heart. Dreams can't be pursued, colleagues feel the same way, shortcomings can't be corrected, grandma is tolerant and selfless, sister understands everything, ex-wife can't change, and he can't change... plain but changing. In particular, the home set and the actors' words and deeds are quite realistic. At the end of the film, the lyrics express the confusion and persistence of the road of growth, the understanding and change that cannot be learned between families. Perhaps, many of them do not understand the harm of gambling, but regard it as a memory of their father, a desire for life change, and a reluctance to part with a vague dream. (Even though it can’t change the nature of the scourge, moderation is fine, easier said than done?) Thinking of the poem of the author of A Dream of Red Mansions: “A piece of paper is full of absurd words, and a handful of bitter tears make the author crazy, who can explain the taste?”

ps: I don’t know the background of the film. According to the characters, the era likes light novels and popular novels and abandons pure literature. It is estimated that it is after the bubble economy?

Pragmatism has its practical side, but also throws away the interesting diversity of the soul? Anyway, it is similar to the relationship between the economic base and the superstructure.

Burst the beautiful bubble of fantasy as soon as possible, and welcome the cruel and hopeful new life.

    I want to give full marks! One of the stars is for the performances of Abe Hirokobayashi Satomi and Kobayashi Shirin's grandmother, which is great. I didn't know what was going on, but I suddenly wanted to cry, so I kept feeling sad and cried five tissues from the interruption. Like returning to Hirokazu-eda who was walking, or returning to my home. While crying and laughing over and over again, I especially want to thank the director. The feeling of crying and laughing, I think it is the energy of the movie.

    Life goes on and on, and love is like a typhoon. Happiness is like winning the lottery, and family love is deeper than the sea.

After the Storm quotes

  • Shinoda Ryôta: The lottery isn't gambling.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: Of course it is.

    Shinoda Ryôta: No, it is not.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: What is it, then?

    Shinoda Ryôta: It's a dream. A dream you buy for 300 Yen.

  • Shinoda Ryôta: I'm not... who I want to be yet. But, you know, it doesnt matter whether I've become what I wanted. What matters is to live my life trying to become what I want to be.
