It tells about the friction and joy in the daily life of the Yamada family. Isn't this our usual day? There are five people in the protagonist's family, grandmother, father, mother, brother and sister. Although they describe the little things in life, they are really funny and very cute. Yamada's father is a bit of a macho man. He is the head of a company. Even so, he is often despised by his grandmother. Although his father paid for the house, his grandmother insisted that if there is no land, where will you get the house? , As long as she is at home, she will instruct Yamada's mother to do this and that, and bring tea and water to herself. Yamada's mother is a full-time housewife, nervous, always forgetting things, but she is a very optimistic person. She is busy with her family and often quarrels with her father. Grandma is a very interesting person, and she is also a weird old lady to outsiders. She has her own personality and is even a little stubborn. She is unwilling to listen to her children's opinions. Thirty years". Brother Ade is a student who is actively preparing for the exam. He often bursts out some golden sentences, and he is also the most skinny in the family. He often complains: "If father could be smarter and mother cooks more delicious food, our family will change. If I have to be rich, will my life be different?” So the Yamada couple began to educate their son Ade, telling how his parents got married and how they took him out of peaches. Another time, when his father asked Ade to drink a glass of soju, after Ade squeezed his eyebrows and drank it, the Yamadas thought that Ade would find soju to be unpleasant, but Ade said, "Your wine is not pure." Duan, can't help laughing. The younger sister, Nonoko, is a big kid. Even if the family forgot her at the station, she thought that the whole family was lost. There is no clear story line in the film, but is composed of short storylines, such as the memories of parents' marriage, the scene of robbing TV, father and son playing baseball together, giving umbrella to Yamada's father, Ade's adolescence, the whole family. Forgetfulness, etc., each part is not very long, sometimes with relaxing background music, it is very relaxing to watch. Although the story is small, you can feel the full love between the family members, and the usual noisy noise has also become an additive to family happiness. From the film, we can see a lot of shadows in our real life. What we eat, what we do every day, and fighting wits and courage with our family over trivial matters constitute the whole of life. There are quarrels and touching. There are many heroes in the world, but only a very small number, most of them are ordinary people like them. Life doesn't wake up every day, it's just an ordinary day after day. Just like this movie, no matter from the story or the style of painting, the simplicity reveals warmth and makes people move.
