What do we do every day except sleep, except for work and free time?
Maybe brushing short videos, watching gossip, chatting with people on the screen, or playing games, in our leisure time, we spend more than half of our time facing the mobile phone, how long have you not chatted well with the people around you?
Today's high-tech technology has narrowed the distance between people and the world, but alienated people from family members.
If one day the world suddenly loses power, the network is paralyzed, the power outage leads to a water outage, the mobile phone has no network, and then there is no way to charge, so we lose contact with the world, and such a story in the Japanese comedy "Survival Family" happens!
Maybe on the first day you will wait for the call, spend a painful time in waiting, and at night you will find that there is no call, the whole city is dark, the food in the refrigerator is spoiled, the washing machine cannot be used, the TV cannot be watched, the dirty dishes and dishes in the kitchen sink are piled up, and you have to climb the stairs when you go out, and the means of transportation are only two legs and bicycles.
Before the power outage, the Suzuki family was doing their own thing, Suzuki was a workaholic who cared little about his wife and children, and he was more concerned about his wig than his wife and children.
The wife is a traditional Japanese housewife who does housework every day in addition to housework.
Daughters and sons rarely communicate with their parents, and more time is spent holding mobile phones or listening to songs with headphones.
The sudden blackout brought everyone to a halt, and the family saw the Milky Way for the first time on the balcony.
People are waiting for calls, a day, two days finally they give up hope, at this time they realize the seriousness of the matter, the long blackout is undoubtedly a disaster, to survive can only return to the countryside Kagoshima, the grandfather who was once abandoned became the hope of the family, so the family began to flee.
Because the blackout store only collects cash, the supermarket has long been snapped up, the price of water has soared, and in the face of the disaster, the family complains and quarrels with each other, and the family problem is exposed at this moment.
After the quarrel, the family decided to ride their bicycles back to the countryside, because all public transportation was out of service, and people on the road were walking except for bicycles, and the scene of a large group of people fleeing was very shocking.
A scene of comedy begins, a man can not exchange a Rolex watch and a Rolls-Royce for a bag of rice, these luxuries become worthless in front of food, and the man is eventually driven away by the big mother.
Because there is no food in the city, people actually sell the fish in the aquarium, in extraordinary times, food is life is everything, the Suzuki family joined the long line to buy fish, unfortunately when it was their turn, the fish was sold out, and the family returned home sadly.
Everything did not go well, the family still decided to pedal the bicycle forward, at night when the family rested found that the water was stolen, the son found the person who stole the water, it was a young couple, they used the stolen water to brew milk powder for the little baby to drink, the son did not go to identify the thief, directly walked away, in him we see the good side of human nature.
The once-estranged family on the run also began to band together, riding through the dark, terrifying cave with the help of their blind mother.
Water and canned cats were found in the deserted shop, and although the family complained that the canned cats were unpalatable, they ate the cans.
The funny thing is that the family is chased by the evil dog and snatches the bacon sausage, which is not too miserable.
Heaven has no end to the road, fortunately the family found a pig in the wild, a family of four who have not seen meat for a long time began to glow red, Dad Suzuki began to chase pigs, because it was too crazy Suzuki fell into the hillside, there was no danger that the pig was thrown to death, Suzuki was safe and sound, the family looked at Suzuki and the pig and smiled.
Pigs are not inexplicable Oh, it turns out that this is a pig raised by a nearby farmer, dozens of pigs have run out of the pig pen, the farmer decided to treat a family of four with hospitality, on the condition that a family of four helped them catch the pigs back, so there was a funny person pig fighting wisdom and courage.
After a period of stay, the family decided to move on, on the way they needed to cross a river, the family united to make a simple bamboo raft, the family of three spent safely, dad was washed away by the river at the last moment, when several people looked for it again only found Dad Suzuki's wig, the family was so sad, at this moment they realized that the family was so important.
The ending is beautiful, it turns out that the old father Suzuki is not dead, was washed downstream, and finally the family reunited on a steam train, looked at each other and laughed and finally came to the grandfather's house they once hated.
Grandpa who lives in the fishing village is not affected by the power outage, every day to go fishing, the family in the countryside without electricity to live a life of male farming and female weaving, its happiness and harmony once the contradictions of the family disappeared, after a big blackout they know the true meaning of life more, the rare beauty is to return to the truth, family affection and bondage let the family unite, the precious thing is the long-lost true feelings.
"Survival Family" humors the heavy topic and provokes the audience to think deeply, about family and environmental protection, will human beings fail without technology? After watching this movie, I have the answer, if there is love, it will not be a failure! And human beings should not rely too much on modern civilization to lose the most primitive things.
