I suddenly saw the title of this film when I was chatting with ? today, but my impression was a little vague. I just remember that I thought it was a good film after watching it at the time. After reading it, my heart was warm, so I took it out in the evening to review it.
In fact, those who are familiar with Hirokazu Kore-eda know that his films are very tense. The story is eloquently told, the flow of emotion under the calm concentration, or gentle, or agitated, tears are about a common thing. The characters under his lens, regardless of gender, age or background, are more or less serious and cute.
In fact, this is also a movie that makes me a little regretful. It is a pity that I saw this movie when I was not at the most emotional time. Even if I rewatch it today, I will still have this regret. Even its delicacy and warmth, the little details are no longer touching in my opinion now.
Closer to home. "Next Stop, Heaven" is a film with a strong fantasy color that builds multiple fictional dimensions. Its emotional triggers are generally small things that are not known in life, such as the memory of the old grandma who used to dance in red dresses, the feeling of the pilot who flew the plane in the air, the peach petals sent by the grandma... If these details are carefully tasted, Each piece can make people think and move with emotion. Throughout our lives, we can never be sure about the happiest moments, but perhaps long before we know it, it has become an integral part of other people's happy memories.
Near the end of the film, I realized that this film is more like a documentary, recording the events of a group of people who are about to go to the kingdom of heaven, recording the bits and pieces of their life, whether happy or regretful, so that people can summarize when they are about to die. My busy and fleeting life. Thinking of this, I will feel a little sentimental myself. Looking back on this short life, there will only be a moment left, and other full life stories will be lightly scattered into the wind, but I still hope to have such a transit station. At least, I can really end my life here.
