"In the Corner of the World", the Japanese name is "この世界の國際に", I first met this movie through the episode in this TV series, the tone of the episode is soothing, the female voice is soft and cheerful, every time I listen to this song Songs, I will follow the tune in my heart to hum. After seeing the comments on this song, I realized that this is not only a TV series, but also live-action movies and anime movies with the same plot. In comparison, I chose anime to watch. .Before discussing the plot, I would like to talk about what can come to mind from the name alone?
There are two words "world" and "Katyu" in the Japanese name. I know that I don't understand Japanese at all. The combination of these two words has brought me a lot of room for reverie. First of all, this plot should be a very common one. Ordinary plot, without the hustle and bustle of the world, like the private whispers of small local people, the plot development should be relatively peaceful, there are no big storms in life, this may be about two children in the mountains fell in love, and then they were in love. Some little stories about life in the mountains, I thought so before watching.
In fact, the story of this movie is not very different from what I imagined, but the time node is set during World War II, which also caused some discussions about the three views of this movie. The protagonist Xiaoling is a slightly dull girl, I often don't understand some things, I like to draw, I like to paint the beautiful scenery I see. Once again, in my art homework, there is such a detail, Xiaoling helps Suwon students who are unwilling to draw for some reasons to draw the sea , Suwon faced the sea and said, "The rabbit jumps so happily." In the sea painted by Xiaoling, the waves are painted like rabbits. I think this is an excellent performance of Xiaoling's painting, and it also represents Young people are romantic, sensual, and feel new to things and have constant associations.
Xiao Ling is dull by nature. She was kidnapped by the traffickers when she was a child. In the traffickers' basket, she thought, "Damn, I'm going back to feed the chickens in the evening." I talked about the "umbrella" thing, and when I went to the man's house for the first time, after the man's aunt introduced herself, she actually recognized her as her mother-in-law (the aunt's surname is not the same as the man's surname, My sister-in-law should have been married). But the other side of stupidity is cuteness. Her thinking is very unique, and it is not easy to fall into pessimism. She has a soft attitude towards many people. Besides, the rest are very comfortable.
In a letter after she got married, her final signature was "Hojo Bell", her surname was Urano, and this surname became less and less used after her marriage, which also reflected some of the nature of the feudal society at that time. This is also the case in ancient China. The surname will follow the male, and Xiaoling is also a person who obeys the laws of society by thousands of women, but it looks really embarrassing.
Xiaoling is not very interested in warship warfare, she is interested in natural things. When others tell her about the warships docked in Wu City, she skips it. When she and her niece go to work, her niece comes to tell her about warships. In return, she told her niece about the types of clouds. If I analyzed it carefully, I felt it was to describe the difference between people born in war and those born in peace. When Xiaoling was a child, someone would tell her about various types of clouds, these clouds It indicates the weather that will follow, and her niece will have someone to talk about all kinds of warships.
There are also many details in the play to describe the living standards of the people in that era. In that era, everything was a scarce item, and for Xiaoling who loved to draw, pencils were a precious treasure. By the way, I also used this when I was a child. I have a variety of pencils, but I have basically never considered the problem of not using pencils. If I don't have them, I will go to the home to get them. If I don't have them at home, I will go to the consignment store to buy them. So the point of pencils also resonated with me.
Married life is also a daily routine for some household chores. In winter, when washing clothes, your hands will also get cold. In one shot, Xiaoling stretched out her hand while washing clothes and sighed, and said "Ha, uh ah ah ah~~ ~" voice, with a slight shiver when the weather is cold in winter, when I see this scene, I will think of when there was no washing machine at home when I was a child, then turn my head to look at the heater beside me, and think of the current washing machine, can I deeply feel the changes in society. Generally speaking, the quality of life of the Japanese people during the war was very poor, and the current life is much better than those. By the way, many people will say no in summer. How will the air conditioner live? In fact, what I think is that before the air conditioner was invented and used on a large scale, people still spent many summers safely. There are many things just because they have it, so they never feel the life when it does not exist. These are Things make us more comfortable, and then there is an impression in our minds that "this thing can make me more comfortable", so I will take the initiative to consider it when I think about it later. If there is no such impression, I will think about this problem. When you don't have it, you won't feel emotional fluctuations because you don't have it. This is also the saying: "It is easy to change from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality."
Shortly after Xiao Ling got married, Zhou Zuo's sister returned to her parents' home. Her quality of life was very different from Xiao Ling's. She could wear dresses, watch movies, watch fairs, and make up, while Xiao Ling seemed to know nothing. , will even be ridiculed by his sister because of her rustic dress. In the later plot, we can also see that his sister is also kind-hearted, not a high-profile young lady, but she felt rustic when she first contacted Xiaoling. I went to Zhou Zuo's work place to find him, and put on powder, Zhou Zuo thought she was too pale and sick, and it made people happy and a little sad.
After the defeat in Japan, there was a scene like this, Xiaoling was queuing up, and her sister asked her what line she was in, and she replied: "Who knows, there's nothing missing anyway." No matter how bad the situation is, if they have an optimistic and good attitude, they will be much happier. In the end, what they received was the leftovers from the US military, and there were even producers in it, but they still felt good after eating, and they went home at night to face the family. White rice feels unappetizing.
Regarding Xiaoling's feelings, Zhou Zuo once said to Xiaoling: "Fortunately I found you in the corner of this world", there is no doubt that he loves Xiaoling very much, loves Xiaoling's simplicity, loves her Hardworking, she will smirk from time to time when she loves her, but does Xiaoling love Zhou Zuo? This is actually debatable, Xiaoling may not love Zhou Zuo, but she has a loyalty to Zhou Zuo as a wife in the feudal era, and Zhou Zuo is also very good to her, Nothing bad was done.
At the end of the movie, due to Japan's defeat, Xiaoling couldn't accept it and shouted: "Didn't you say at that time that you would fight to the last person? We have several people here now!" It is normal for a child, it should not be very rare for a girl who grows up in this environment to have such a thinking, and she has a simple thinking and does not know much about the world. I think this film focuses on portraying people during the war. This is the impact of the war, not the attitude of people during the war. A woman like Xiaoling completely obeyed the emperor in the war. She is not a character with independent thinking, and she has no chance. Yes, we should not constrain her remarks with a modern point of view. This film simply records and reproduces the life at that time, and the views of the people in it are also in line with the times at that time. It is enough for this film to feel the painful life of ordinary people in the war era and the warmth of Xiaoling in this corner of the world.
