The dead are like this, walking non-stop.

"Hey, it's always like this, I'm always a beat." The sigh of Liangda on the bus was heart-rending. Most of the tears in life are because of missing too much, especially in the matter of family love. It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who used the lens to tell every detail in real life. Including many years later, when my grandmother told me about my grandfather's derailment when he was young, it became light and easy.

Delicate and gentle, it reminds me of my childhood in the courtyard. The performance of the tree Xilin is too subtle, Abe Hiroshi is still the son of a failure, Harada Yoshio is like the old man of Hayao Miyazaki, I seem to see the appearance of my grandfather. The dead are like this, walking non-stop.

When what is said is not said, what should be done is not done, there are so many regrets on the road of life, but it is precisely because of these trivial and regrettable details that love is supported and life becomes thick.

Like the fluttering yellow butterflies in the film, like the steps next to the house that no one cares about, like the food on the table, recalling it at an inadvertent moment, or being touched by something for no reason, tears in an instant. Flow all over.
