The most touching family movie I've ever seen, "family movie", so to speak? In my opinion, it goes way beyond the realm of a family film. Maybe the director wanted to ask questions, maybe the director wanted to send a message, no matter what, I was always touched, and I seemed to see a corner of the polyhedron of life that Hirokazu Kore-eda showed us.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can do it or not. The most important thing is that people should live with this belief." The father replied to the son who wanted to be a baseball player, and the son then asked: "Really?" Some people in the comments commented that it was a failure Like a movie for a loser or a movie for a loser, it may be explained in a sentence from Ang Lee, "Everyone has a crouching tiger and a hidden dragon in their hearts. This crouching tiger is our desire and our fear. We are uneasy about it. But also because of this, in the pure fantasy of life, we know that we are not alone." Social evaluation is like Schrödinger's cat, in fact, you are doing the same thing, but there are two modes of social evaluation. If the social evaluation gives you a positive, you succeed, and if the social evaluation gives you a negative, you fail. However, people are meant to live, and we can't pin our hopes on the 50% probability of Schrödinger's cat. If we give some straw to other places, we may be able to live a more peaceful life.
"I have never loved a person as deep as the sea." This is the source of the movie's title, but I don't really understand this sentence. "But people still have to live happily, and maybe only in this way can people live happily." Family, a social group composed of two or more people with reproductive function, I can tell you in a very rational way Explain marriage and fertility. But why do most of the people I see choose it anyway? Does everyone in this world have feelings of being born? If family and marriage are an independent universe, who cannot grasp the truth in the universe of truth, goodness and beauty, who is qualified to pursue the essence of family and marriage? Is this sincere thinking or out of youthful rebellion? I do not understand.
"One more friend is just one more chance to attend the funeral", "How can it become like this?" When biological limitations and the impermanence of life are unavoidable, we can only think about our own life. The film also raised the question of life time and time again, "How did your father view his life before he died?" And how do you view your life? Zhu Guangqian once said that college students should understand three questions: what are you going to do at this time? What are you doing here? What are you going to do with this life? The first and second questions may be known to everyone, but who can answer the third question? When you can't even give a standard answer, what do you rely on to evaluate your life? A teacher I like boils down the third question to "life awareness", saying that he wants his students to have "life awareness" as soon as possible. I think, maybe looking back on my past life, it doesn't matter whether I am grateful or regretful, the important thing is that the light in my heart never goes out.
Thanks to Teresa Teng's "Premonition of Parting", thanks to Hirokazu-eda.
