From "Watching the Movie"

When the twilight is sinking, the horizon is a pale grayish-yellow, which reminds me of many fragments in "Twilight Qingbingwei". Director Yoji Yamada is good at focusing on the "low" in life, expressing the increasingly bright human nature - simple, noble, restrained, and restrained emotions. From beginning to end, the progress of the film is slow. It unfolds in the memory of the youngest daughter. There are no fierce contradictions, no special characters, and no taboo scenes, but the tears and laughter that precipitated make people deeply miss and remember. Moving.
One of the characters that moved me the most after watching the movie was the heroine Pengjiang. Miyazawa Rie interprets it as quiet as a cloud and as clear as running water. Maybe all the good women in the world are like this. They have firm beliefs in their soft posture. No matter how embarrassed or stretched they are, they can live with clean hands and faces. In the film, Pengjiang is as kind as water, like a soft light shining into the life of Qingbingwei, taking good care of his mother and young daughter, his life is still so poor, but his heart is warm. Surviving on the way away and struggling on the way home, he thought that there was such a home waiting for him, no matter how hard the road was, it was a bridge of happiness, and all the suffering seemed to be hidden in the depths of the years , it is no longer pain, there are tears to fall, but it is not sad, Pengjiang's smile is as warm as April, melting the ice and blowing snow, but at the same time there is a strong character in the bones
