In summer, the human nature becomes as transparent as the sun.

Compared with the reality of society, I prefer to say that human nature is still beautiful. The middle-aged ruffian, played by Takeshi Kitano, can run for the boy's little dream, and the mobster performs various shows to make him happy. In summer, the human nature becomes as transparent as the sun.

Many plots of the film are very funny, but the overall atmosphere is full of warmth. Therefore, to describe this film as funny, it is tacky, I think we should call it full of humor. Zhengnan and the middle-aged man performed extremely well. Zhengnan remained silent most of the time, with his head down. He was a gentle, obedient, and lovely child; while the middle-aged man was like an older child and a little gangster. The black boss, he steals things, but he is not nasty; he smashes people glass, but he looks cute; he fools others, but unexpectedly shows simplicity; I think this must have a deeper connotation beyond acting And the more essential warmth affects the overall effect. And this effect allows us to imitate the middle-aged man's cynicism and rudeness, and still be able to read his helplessness and self-pity, and read his lingering affection for his mother. The angel's bell that was snatched was not so much a hope for Jeong Nam as a kind of comfort for him.

Zheng Nan has passed the bridge near his home many times. Before, every time he passed by, he was "sullen" with his head down, but in the end we discovered that at the beginning of the film, the Zheng man ran across the bridge happily, wearing a flowered shirt, and he was surrounded by him. The jingle bells originally happened during a strange journey with Mr. Kikujiro. The advance of this narrative makes people feel suddenly relaxed.

    Rewatch. The tension is separated, the paragraphs are clear, and it does not take much effort to connect. Strong modeling and editing rhythm complement each other, and the in-camera scheduling that changes with the scene is simple and effective, so the burden is also echoed. What summer really needs is happiness, isn't it? In fact, it is a film belonging to the second echelon of Takeshi Kitano. Fortunately, he has always been very relaxed, without the usual elements of violence and love in the sequence of works, but full of self-healing warmth. ——In fact, I feel that he cares more about his own emotions than the so-called artistic style of the film. He doesn't want to make Kijiro a good spiritual father, because that calls for responsibility, and he can only provide the company of a vacation. And such an unforgettable childhood journey, not everyone can have it. In the end, Zheng Nan raised his head that had been lowered, turned around and ran towards the future.
