Recently, the Academy Awards released the shortlist for the best international film, and the domestic film "Young You" was nominated, which is also the second time that a Chinese film has been nominated for an Oscar after 18 years.
Even official media such as People's Daily and China Daily have posted relevant news on Twitter, which has been officially recognized. The four-character brother is the peak of this starting point, and it is also too cattle!
According to the convention, every year, each country or region has a quota for the Oscar for best international film, and this year's film selected by Japan is this movie called "The Morning Dawn Is Coming".
Being able to win the only place in so many Films in Japan to compete for the Oscar fully shows the recognition of this film by the Japan Film Association. In addition, the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or for Best Film at the Cannes Film Festival, which is enough to prove its quality.
It is a film about women, adapted from the novel of the same name by Fukazuki Tsujimura, directed by Naomi Kawase and starring Hiromi Nagasaku, Shin Iura, and Saezu Ikuda. It tells the story of a couple who are unable to have children and adopt a child of a schoolgirl who is pregnant at first.
The Kurihara couple, suffering from infertility, welcomed their lovely son Kurihara Asadou through the adoption system, but the six-year happy life was immediately disrupted.
An embarrassed young woman suddenly visited and insisted that she was the child's biological mother. However, she seems to want more financial compensation than children...
The film mainly explores the current social phenomena in Japan, such as "adoption", "infertility", and "middle school students becoming mothers", and triggers thinking on topics such as "how to become a mother" and "the meaning of becoming a mother".
As a famous female director in Japan, caring for social issues such as women, childbirth, and adoption is a consistent feature of Naomi Kawase's works. She has previously been nominated for the Best Director of the Japan Film Academy, and in this new work, she has the courage to face herself and touch the hearts of the audience with her personal experience.
This time, the identity of "mother" is once again explored with dramatic and impactful brushstrokes, bringing the audience a real and complex emotional experience with a variety of narrative styles.
Moreover, the light and shadow tones of the whole film are relatively warm tones, giving people a feeling that the morning sun is coming, warm and delicate.
As sung in the song "To Mom": "God destroyed the Tower of Babel, leaving only a password called Mama." ”
The power of mothers is unimaginable, they can do everything for their children, but most of the time people forget that before becoming mothers, they are first and foremost themselves.
All in all, whether you are a mother, daughter or wife, this movie is well worth watching!
