The most important thing is that the family is neat and tidy and eats a meal.

It is the "Diary of the Sea Street" by Hirokazu Ee. It starts from a funeral and ends with a funeral with Kamakura as the stage. It is quite similar to the way Hou Hyo-hsien's desktop homesickness film is handled. The protagonists of the stage are four lovely women with bright personalities, but each exudes the glory of kindness. ダメ dad who connects the four sisters, although not appearing in the play, he is everywhere.



The scenes of the four sisters are difficult to shoot, and the scenes of eating are difficult to shoot. If you want to shoot the scenes of many people eating, it will be more skillful. Anyone who has been involved in film and television production knows that the monitor is an unceremonious guy. The actor's expression is magnified in the frame, and those good performances are of course needless to say, but if there is a slight flaw, it will look embarrassing as if it were magnified several times on the monitor.



is a challenge to "shoot and eat". In the film, 15 food scenes are used to connect the four sisters in a relationship.

No.1 The breakfast of the eldest sister of the Xiangtian family, the second sister and the third
sister, starts the whole film from the second sister who does not return home at night. As soon as it comes up, the true temperament of the second sister played by Nagasawa is fully revealed (well, the body is also fully displayed). Back home, in the first breakfast scene, the personalities of the three sisters were revealed in their eating, verbal and posture. The eldest sister who has assumed the role of "mother" in the family is naturally holding her rice bowl seriously and eating seriously. The third sister is left-handed with a heavy taste (the boyfriend's taste is also quite heavy), and she likes to eat rice. The second elder sister converged a little bit in front of her sister, but she also had the subtle tension of a sister.



No.2 On the train going to Yamagata to attend the funeral of his father, the second and third sisters
confessed that their parents divorced and that the father had a romantic plot background.



No.3 The soba noodles of the four sisters of the Koda family
moved here with three half-sisters, and a new life is about to begin. The eldest sister insists on cooking soba noodles freshly. In Japan, eating soba noodles often means blessings, such as New Year, housewarming, etc. The elder sister silently expresses her welcome to her younger sister with actions. (The third sister's weird boyfriend also appears in this scene.) And the new little sister, すず, is a little more restrained.



No.4 The eldest sister of the Xiangtian family and aunt (Shu Xilin) ​​Peony Cake
aunt came to visit for a new member of the family, but they chose to talk to the eldest sister alone. The eldest sister acted like a junior in front of her aunt, and ate half of the peony cake in one bite.



No.5 Sea Cat Canteen Xiaomei すず and her second sister (and a group of friends from the football team) Dingshi
Haimao Canteen witnessed the changes in the street personnel, experienced the changes in the Koda family, and now also accepts the younger sisterすず. And すず is slowly blending into the new environment, making new friends, and for the first time having a real family besides his father.



No.6 seaside restaurant slag sister and her boyfriend rice Coke shell
slag male prostitute effort, sister silly slightly sweet white



No.7 Tian Xiang Four Sisters breakfast
sister overslept, hurry to join the Breakfast, such a day couldn't be more ordinary. すず gradually really "lived" at the Xiangtian's house, with a gesture of "home" in every gesture. The eldest sister is still strict with her family education as always. After the second sister forgot to bring her purse back before going out, she found that the small details of the purse had been in the bag, and the sense of reality (cuteness) was overwhelming.



No. 8 Shiina residence eldest sister and lover Shiina potato salad
The eldest sister fell in love with Shiina, a physician who works in the same hospital. She is not only a married man, but also a useless man like Mr. Asano. He is not decisive enough to deal with the relationship between the sexes, but he is kind and honest. When the eldest sister was buying ingredients for this dinner, her thoughtful expression must have been troubled by this "non-scrupulous" relationship.



No. 9 Breakfast for the four sisters of
the Xiangtian family is again at the breakfast time of the Xiangtian family.
With the passage of time, the four sisters have eaten many meals, and their feelings have naturally deepened a lot. Xiaomei すず has already begun to help arrange the dining table, and getting along with the three sisters is more natural, and the expression of her small expressions is also richer.
In this scene, すず lied, in fact, it also explained the trouble that "Daddy's things can't tell my sisters" that has always existed in her heart.



No. 10 The second sister of Sea Cat Canteen and the section manager (Brother Liang) have laid the
foundation for lunch . The story background of Sea Cat Canteen’s decision to close the business, plus the first signs of illness of Aunt Ninomiya. The economic dispute between Aunt Ninomiya and her younger brother also reflected the upright character of the section chief. The second sister finally met a reliable man this time!



No. 11 Lynx Ting Coffee すず and the little boyfriend of the football team (and little boyfriend) The sardine baby toast
Bobcat Ting Coffee is a shop often visited by my father, and the sardine baby toast is also very much in living with my dad. An important piece of memory puzzle. It can be seen here that すず’s feelings for his father are actually suppressed in front of the sisters and dare not show it.



No. 12 The four sisters of the Xiangtian family (not counting meals) collected plum
wine from the family's family plum wine, which strung the matriarchal fetters of the Xiangtian family.
The annual activity of picking plums to make plum wine, すず has become the main force this year. The non-alcoholic plum drink is a sign of すず being a member of the family.



No. 13 The four sisters of the Xiangtian family (not counting meals), the mother
who has been away from home for many years, cold drinks time . Have a cold drink to dissipate the fire.



No. 14 Kodaya すず and Sanjie Fish Cake (Fish Chikuwa) Curry Rice
ダメMom developed seafood curry rice (because seafood is easier to cook ) in order to save time. The grandma's version is a very old school fish bamboo wheel seafood rice. Here, すず confessed his previous lies to the third sister, and for the first time expressing her confession in front of the three sisters. The third sister, as the daughter who has the least impression of ダメ's father among the three sisters, may also be the person to confide in to make すず a little more secure.



No. 15 The elder sister of the Koda family (not counting meals) and the eldest sister of Umejiu Time
have been at home for many years to assume the role of "mother", take care of the younger sister’s diet and daily life, and take care of the sisters’ upbringing obligations. The eldest sister’s childhood, In fact, it was "taken away." すずHere, before his father’s death, he took care of his father’s death. Facing the stepmother’s indifference to "grow up", the two distressed sisters, under the porch of the Xiangtian family, made fun and laughter. Sun Buddha found the missing innocence in his life. .



There are many small details in the play, such as the "Bamboo nanbanyaki" specially prepared by Aunt Ninomiya (nanbanyaki is a seasoning method similar to sweet and sour). Various kinds of "Shunwu" that appear in line with the change of seasons: Hydrangea (flower language means betrayal), cherry blossoms, yukatas, fireworks and so on. Looking back at the title, Haijie Diary (Haijie Diary), I remember that in my childhood and naive summer vacation diary, it is nothing more than these small things.



Family members are people who eat many meals together.

    How sacred is the father, and the 4 daughters he gave birth to are all so good-looking.

    It is too simple to photograph Ayase Haruka, Nagasawa Masami, and Xia Fan beautifully-like the beginning. But most of the time, it was Hirokazu that they deliberately made them look less beautiful, and they were closely bonded to the old house and everyday things. One flower, one world, one tree and one floating. Anyway, I opened it for twenty seconds, I couldn't stop later, I didn't want to fast forward, I didn't want to pause, and I didn't want to turn it off. It's very plain and boring, what an international joke.
