Gentle and elegant, full of tension, let the sky, cloud, cloud, and other things

After watching David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", I was a little confused for a moment, with a little dazed, depressed, and vaguely sentimental, a different life journey, the same melancholy love, some seem to have known each other, but not far away and. It is life and love that seem to have known each other before, but life and love are still out of reach. The movies I watched this year are also uneven. I instantly thought of a movie "Sakura Blossom" that could be comparable to the main theme of the movie's love. After reviewing it, I discovered the female director Doris. The cherry blossom-like love under Dolly's tenderness lens is as melancholy as the lake under Mount Fuji, and it looks extraordinarily blue under the reflection of the sky. "Sakura Blossom" is the best German movie this year. It seems that there are some inexplicable plots. I think about it carefully, but it is reasonable. The film’s rhythm is subtle and soothing. The female director has inserted many lyrical shots into the life story. Flowers, trees, blue sky, and the sea are all such things that are the embodiment and transition of the characters’ inner emotions, the one under Mount Fuji. In Chihushui, that indescribable dance of death has suddenly reached the culmination of the blending of scenes. Compared with "Lost in Tokyo", the same female director interprets the different lightness and weight of love. Is the white handkerchief on the railings of Tokyo's streets just sending signals? What is conveyed is a more traumatic psychological process that is more appropriate. In the movie, the protagonist's seemingly inexplicable crying, there are silent tears hanging down, to restrained sobbing, and sad tears on his face. When RUDI's lover learned of his condition, the sadness did not come from her. Her face disappeared. She would think of her children, Japan, Mount Fuji, and cherry blossoms. She would also think of RUDI's future life, but she never thought of herself, everything is unpredictable, no one. I would think that she was the first to leave her family, the man she loves, her children, her trip to Japan, and her yearning for Mount Fuji. The night at the beach was a sleepless night. She danced with him in her arms, her tearful eyes filled with the deep attachment and dissatisfaction of the husband and wife for decades. Perhaps she was unwilling to face the lonely reality that she was the only one left after he left, and preferred to leave first by herself. In the morning when the sun rose, she died peacefully in her sleep. So abrupt, without warning. Two people's travel, one person's return. He could not bear or accept her leaving. Multiple lives, we always think there is more time. He couldn't understand, where did she go? Where did her body go? When sleeping, he put on her favorite kimono in the place that belonged to her. He put on her clothes, as if this way, he could see her in the mirror. Thinking of her, he took all his savings and her clothes and embarked on a trip to Tokyo in search of her dream. RUDI was lost in Tokyo, where his lover yearns, and would cry while enjoying a bubble massage. In Tokyo, he missed his lover all the time, just like the grass and the tree, the brick and the tile in the whole city. It was the trace of the lover. At this time, he also regretted not having not come with her to the city she had longed for for a long time in his lover's lifetime. "Sakura Blossom" uses a lot of space to show the experience of the outsider—the old man of RUDI. As far as he can see, the night light of skyscrapers and the endless stream of pedestrians on the street reflect the melancholy in RUDI's heart. The relationship between the two elderly people and their children in the film is somewhat cruel, but it is nothing more than a realistic portrayal. Children have their own lives, and who will take care of the feelings of the elderly in their busy lives. The scene of cherry blossoms in full bloom is only a short passage. RUDI, his youngest son and others are enjoying the flowers under the trees with wine and delicacies. The falling wind and flowers briefly speak of the impermanence of life. There is not much time for the old man to start from the beginning of the film, and there may be ups and downs in the middle, and finally he can return peacefully. It is not his own children who can accept the elderly and listen to his heart. The director arranged for an unknown and homeless Japanese girl to assume the role. The relationship between them added a lot to the film. They went to see Mount Fuji, cook together, and dance together. Why do you know each other before? I only sigh that life is short. The short time between them made RUDI deeply understand the blooming cherry blossoms and the melancholy Mount Fuji. These are nothing more than symbols of life. "An apple a day keeps the disease away from me." According to Chinese words, the rhyme of this sentence is very flavorful. Just like this movie, the more it tastes, the more it is full of flavor, and the warm music at the beginning has brought people to it. Entering a dull world, the film deals with the interpersonal relationship of many people, whether it is the mutual dependence between the wives or the bizarre encounter between Rudi and the Japanese woman, but it all happened flatly, tenderly, just like " Like "ONCE", everything passes by in a hurry. The film unfolds from the small town of Algoy in southern Germany. The shots cover Japan, Berlin, the Baltic Sea and other places. Everything is so plain, but it is thought-provoking. When RUDI's lover learned about him When her husband’s condition was ill, it seemed that she was the one who got sick. The phone call to the child was still awake. When I went to visit the child, the mood was still watery. Her crying in the theater, and the late night dance with RUDI, her every move. It seems to involve our psychology. In fact, she is the one who wants to go to Japan the most, but without his lover, she would never go alone, but in the end, I think she has really fulfilled her dream, the movie shot. It’s not unpretentious at all, maybe life is like this. When RUDI dances in his lover’s clothes, it seems that tears will involuntarily shed. It reminds me of the movie "The Taste of Cherry". When everything is clear, I But still at a loss, maybe life is really like a splendid cherry blossom, maybe we can continue to waste our years, but we can't hide our moving.
