Two days before watching the movie, I just watched an official account push. The content is mainly that the movies directed by Hirokazu Koreeda can always provide the public with a different perspective to understand a certain concept. Finished watching this movie today. There is no excessive conflict between each character in the film. It seems that people in a parallel world are quietly narrating the most important memory in their life. There is almost no background music to set off, so I saw the end unknowingly. It was a bit depressing to watch. But after watching it carefully, it is a bit over the top. It's very strange, it doesn't have a strong impact, but there is a feeling that has been lingering in my heart for a long time.
As a moviegoer, I love this movie. I like that it does not describe a character in a heavy-handed manner, and everyone is the protagonist of the film. Each character has a unique life, long or short. Some people have sex, but no one's life is the same. Does this look like each of us in life? Life is supposed to be diverse. The world should have been more inclusive. Perhaps, most of us share some kind of group similarity, but this does not and should not obliterate individual uniqueness. People don't have to make choices. There are people in the film who do not choose to remember. People do not necessarily have to make the same or similar choices as most people. There is a little girl in the film who first chose the memories that the predecessors have done and chose to leave behind, but then changed it. The focus of this process is more on the individual feelings of each of us. Everyone has the right to make their own decisions, and of course bear the consequences of that decision.
Secondly, I personally like the different perspectives on life presented by the characters in this film. Someone in the film thinks his life is meaningless, but in fact he was once the happiest part of another person's memories. Therefore, don't magnify the 'conceit' too much. As mentioned above, the little girl who chose to leave memories similar to most people at the beginning, but finally changed her mind by following her heart, does it look like us who think twice before making certain decisions and are worried? In fact, we all deserve respect when we make any decision, so don't be unduly influenced by what most people do. Take a closer look. In the film, although most people follow the rules and make choices about their lives, none of them are the same. Some people are recalling the captured self in the war; some people are missing their lover; some people are missing the former self, the self who flew in the sky and flew among the clouds, or danced in a red dress; The feeling of the breeze passing through my chest while sitting on a train. So most of them are actually different.
So, have you figured out how to face yourself and your life? What choice will you make? I don't think everyone is the same. I just hope that after watching the movie, we can be honest with ourselves, face life, and be more tolerant of the people around us. Empathy is a false proposition, and even people with the same experience will have subtle differences. But we can be more inclusive. To understand and respect other people's choices and decisions as much as possible.
