If it wasn't for a film and television appreciation class, I wouldn't write a 1500-word film review. In fact, I have always wanted to write a little film review, but the university life is too busy, making people unable to write quietly, so called impetuous. Also take this opportunity to calm down your heart and accept this baptism well.
The first time I watched it was in class. To be honest, after watching this movie, I didn't shed tears like most people. This movie is not as sensational as "Hachiko", and it is not like "Hachiko". Kikujiro's Summer" is as relaxing and happy as ever. It seems to be light and slightly heavy, and heavy with sacredness. When I realized that the theme of the "Bible" came up, I realized that the movie must be more than a simple story of "a child looking for a father, but he didn't find it". Trying to force understanding, but lacking knowledge of the Bible, and wanting to understand more deeply is also unrealistic. It makes the viewing process too rational. Another reason is that I am concerned about the discomfort caused by the tightness of the screen. It may be because the technology at that time is a bit backward. I always feel that the lens can be loosened a little more. I always have a desire to see more. But the picture is a little tight, and the use of music is too single.
But putting these aside, "Central Station" is undoubtedly a good film. It has the attributes of a good work of art. It has profound connotations. Every time you go to appreciate it, you will have a different experience. and different understandings. Gradually, we can see different things such as family affection, love, humanity, redemption, etc., and the choice of actors is very grounded, and the natural performance is enough to make us as the audience ignore the actors' performances and regard them as real people. To observe, to analyze, to experience.
At first you'll see the ugly and selfish ghostwriter Dora embarks on Joshua's family-hunting journey to escape the guilt of kidnapping children. Both Joshua and Dora have cognitive paranoia. Joshua thinks that his father is as beautiful as he imagined, and Dora thinks that his father is an alcoholic just like his own, and it is not worth looking for. Have the heart to break his beautiful fantasy. Everything stems from her own experience, because she also had such a childhood, when she met her father, he no longer recognized herself.
Later, you may see the two of them doing the same thing. Dora saw her childhood in Joshua. If she couldn't bear to break Joshua's fantasy about her father, it would be better to say She couldn't bear to break her own fluke yearning for beauty. Dora wanted Joshua to find her father, just as she wanted her father to recognize her at the time.
Then you will see that this is a self-redemption of human nature. Dora slowly changed back to the pure she on this road. When she was helped by the truck driver at the most difficult time, she realized that she could rely on her. It felt like Joshua depended on her, depended on her father. She began to become gentle, no longer wrapped her fragile self with a shell of indifference and deceit, she bravely tried to pursue love, even if she ended up smashing her head and bleeding. It was the injury that made her feel her true self. At the end of the film, she put on a beautiful dress, put on lipstick, admired her new self, and embarked on a new life journey. Along the way she listened to her heart and wrote to Joshua in sincere words - "You're right, your father will be back, he's what you said. I remember my dad taking me on the train he drove. , he made me, a little girl, blow the whistle all the way, as you cross the road in your big truck, I want you to remember that I was the first one to let you hold the steering wheel, you and your brothers Being together is also better for you. There are too many things that I should give you that I can't give. Someday you want to remember me and take a look at our photo. I say this because I am afraid that one day, you will I forgot. I miss my dad, I miss everything." She learned to be grateful, and she taught Joshua to be grateful.
Dora was redeemed, and this was Joshua's mission. In the Bible, God spoke to Joshua, Moses' assistant, and said, "My servant Moses is dead; now you must get up and cross this Jordan with all the people to the place that I will give to the children of Israel." Joshua, in fact, Is leading Dora all the way to her new starting point. The final end of the film, the neat white house should also be used as a metaphor for "the place to be given to the Israelites". The final end is also a new starting point.
In the end you will find out, whether you found Jesus or not. But if you sincerely seek his help, you will find that he is helping everyone. As the "Diamond Sutra" says - "If you see me with color, you ask me with sound. It is people who follow the wrong way and cannot see the Tathagata. Everything has a law. It is like a dream bubble. It is like dew and electricity. It should be viewed like this." Everything in the world is illusory. The Tathagata seen with the naked eye and the revelation heard with the ears are the bubbles of hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. Only when you change yourself and find your id, you can feel the gods with your heart.
