The story seems so natural, In the summer vacation, without a playmate, I found a package by chance, with an address, I went to my mother. When I met a nosy aunt, I had the aunt's husband as my company. But everything is so perfect. When Zhengnan met these two "idlers" for the first time, we already knew the abandoned childhood of Kijiro. There was no hardship when he said it. The ridicule between them seems to be a lot of strokes left on the beach, but it can't stop the grandeur of the sea scrubbing the sand and finally receding. The first time Kikujiro met Masao, he said, "Why is this boy so gloomy?" I think this is probably a kind of sympathy for "the same people who have fallen from the end of the world"! Zhengnan seems to be the inner world of Kikujiro, who is rough in appearance, stupid, unreasonable, dull, lustful, and vulgar. His gloom and trauma need a hemostatic patch. His appearance grows day by day, but he still retains a childlike innocence. , the soul that needs the watering of love to grow.
When structuring the whole film, the director used a comic-style structure, twisting cute fonts to write on the lens, and the sense of paragraphs is very strong, which makes this somewhat miserable atmosphere also relaxed. In the film, we almost see it. The only time before the scene of tears was Zheng Nan's sadness when he saw his mother in the distance. As beautiful and loving as the mother in the photo he saw, but he was holding another little girl with a happy smile, wearing a swimming ring, saying goodbye to her mother, and having a pleasant summer vacation by the sea . In the movie, we can only see that kind of happy eyes and smiles, and the actions of the family are silent, which is what Zhengnan sees. Maybe all Zhengnan could hear was the rumble of thunder in his ears, which he longed for, but could not have. In the second half of the movie, different people join the ranks of amusing children, fat, bald, traveler, they try their best to make Zhengnan get the happiness he deserves. Their various appearances and ideas have brought the movie into a comedy-like atmosphere, but it is undoubtedly more sad. When all this is over, Zhengnan will still have to return to his world and endure his heart. The trauma grows up alone. Fortunately, he has grown up in this journey and got the happiness he deserves from the dull Kijiro. The most comforting part in the film is the part where Kikujiro visits his mother. That kind of look at us seems to be familiar, but we may all pray silently, not wanting this scene to happen to Zheng Nan again many years later.
This is the summer of Zhengnan, and it is also the summer of Kikujiro. They are looking for and grow together... Kijiro is still so ignorant at the end of the film: "Fuck, my name is Kikujiro!" This is a In the summer of Kikujiro, while giving love, he also received love... All his silly behaviors seemed to suddenly become cute. It seems that it is no longer important whether we can find mother or not. The important thing is that we have all harvested a new life in our hearts and thrived in this summer...
Zhengnan went home, carrying the angel's schoolbag, and the bells were ringing. The bell, the call of the angel, we are in love, we have love, we grow together...
