There are very few resources for the movie, I downloaded it for a week, but I have no regrets. In such a film and television environment, it is difficult to see the superposition of such pure pictures. When you see the pink posters like cherry blossoms and the quiet two people, you know that the film conveys the tranquility of cherry blossom viewing in Japan, with some heaviness and sadness.
The film begins with the birth of an old woman and the birth of a man, but when you go to the child's home, you feel an unexpected exclusion. The couple took this pain to heart and tried their best not to let the children notice the unhappiness they brought. However, the children felt more and more that their existence was superfluous, and finally the couple left in the child's selfishness, leaving their daughter some uneasiness and some sadness - seeing the elderly parents become a pair of "hills" in a foreign land, Wandering in Berlin's subway stations, streets, dance halls...
After the old woman died, the man started another journey. Go to her son's home in Tokyo to find the care that her daughter doesn't give. The man is looking for more than care, and of course he still doesn't get the life he wants after living there for a while. The scent of cherry blossoms fills the air in Japan, leading him to a park where you can enjoy cherry blossoms, dancing and celebrating with young Japanese. Looking at the falling cherry blossoms, he remembered something, his lost wife, the cabbage roll that his wife liked, the Japanese dance his wife watched, and the feeling that his wife was still by his side...
So he began to search, Looking for his favorite shadow of her still alive in the world. Yes, Shadow, the Japanese girl told him that shadows can dance. It seems to be communicating with the dead, through the dance of shadows, dancing and living together in heaven and the world. The phone in the girl's hand is her dead mother, and the clothes the man is wearing is his wife. Like confidants, at the turn of the year, they started a new journey. From the beginning of the meeting, to the farewell at the subway station, the man felt that he was getting closer and closer to the road where his lover left, and the girl also found the source of motivation to dance from this white-haired man - not only for her mother.
When the man saw Mount Fuji, he imagined dancing with his wife at the foot of the mountain, imagining that in this cherry blossom season, there will be forever and be together.
Not a fantasy, they have been together forever.
For the love of the elderly, I have never dared to imagine, nor do I want to pay attention to it. Most of what I see is the vitality of young people, because it is close to their own life trajectory. But in "Sakura Blossom", when the Japanese song at the end of the credits is long, I hope to become an old man, go to a country where I want to travel with a small wish, and it is enough to see the angels falling in the sky, Life is enough... In the face of such a slow-paced film, it is difficult to use words to organize the structure of the film, and only words like "responsibility" and "love" can be used to describe the content of the film.
The beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom will be met by everyone, but we all forget to pay attention. Behind the cherry blossoms is the wind's waiting for the air, the cloud's contribution to the blue sky, and the track of falling love.
If you have a chance, look at the cherry blossoms, and look at the people you love.
