During the National Day, I did not go out with everyone, but stayed up at home to watch dramas and movies.
There is no geographical classification of the movies I like, as long as the good movies are my favorite style, I will look for them.
The pleasant October was a new look, I first saw the movie "Seagull Canteen", which was released as early as March 2006, but unfortunately I came to see it now. I like to quietly turn on the projector, make a cup of tea, and sit on the couch and watch a movie.
The content of the movie gave me a big surprise, I didn't see the prejudice against this movie before, now only praise and belief are left.
I immediately searched for information about the film, and there was a paper version of the book, and in order to know more, I bought a book to read more specific details.
Most of the movies I like are the kind of light, mournful, without much fighting action, but they are warm and healing, and a lot of them are about food. For the good feelings of the seagull canteen, some netizens directly bought a plane to Finland in order to see this shop.
It wouldn't be inappropriate to think about it. This is the life we yearn for, to be self-sufficient, to live in a calm and peaceful way that we like, and not toss for life.
In the film, three quiet Japanese women run a restaurant together in Helsinki, Finland, the Seagull Canteen. There are traditional Rice Balls and fragrant cinnamon rolls.
The owner is Yukie, played by Japanese Satomi Kobayashi, when the restaurant first opened, there was only Yukie alone, the market inside the store was empty, only Finnish boys who loved Japan came to drink a cup of coffee, and some Finnish aunts were curious to observe the situation inside the store.
But as strangers from all their hearts joined, the restaurant gradually became lively. The young unemployed Midori and the unmarried Masako in her fifties came to Finland from Japan, but they did not know Finnish language or English, but they all came here because they were suspicious and confused about their own lives, and the three of them unexpectedly met and finally came together.
Originally, these people were more or less lonely and sad, but because of the seagull canteen of Yukie, they had a certain spiritual sustenance.
Seems to have been cured. There's nothing more heart-warming than a simple dish.
Starting with the Seagull Cafeteria, I became fond of fans of Japanese healing-style movies or TV series. I also found the bread and soup and cat TV series starring Satomi Kobayashi to watch, there are only four short episodes, and the style of the seagull canteen is almost the same.
Yakiko, played by Toshimi Kobayashi, had been working at the newspaper office, but due to the unexpected death of her mother and the inexplicable personnel transfer of the newspaper, Akiko chose to quit her job at the newspaper and returned home to start living a leisure life alone.
Because the reputation of my mother's restaurant has always been very good, now that the store is closed, there are still students who come here to see, but they are disappointed to see that there is no business. Surrounded by a friendly neighborhood, Akiko meets a stray cat in front of the store.
After all this, Akiko decided to inherit her mother's restaurant, renovate the store, study the menu, sell only bread and soup, and recruit tall female clerks to start a new life. Business inside the shop is getting better and better, a good weather, bread, soup, cats, kind neighbors.
This TV series and the seagull canteen are like two sister chapters, the characters in the play are warm to each other, the days are so light, slow and leisurely, there is no big wind and waves, in my opinion, happiness is really simple.
What struck me most about these two dramas was the trivial details of ordinary life. Just like the life of Yukie in the seagull canteen, making delicious food with her heart, even if there are few customers in the restaurant, she will not want to spend money on advertising.
She said that she opened a canteen, not a restaurant, if guests see the advertisement to come in to eat, there is a contrary to the original intention of opening a store, in her mind, the canteen, is when people pass by the door of the store, by the way to come in for a meal, just like a chance encounter, there is that enjoyment of the state of mind.
But these words really speak an unbreakable truth. For example, what I like to eat is very simple, milk cereal, banana yogurt. Watermelon and cold salad in the summer, baked sweet potatoes in the winter, a cup of hot milk tea are delicious. There are these simple happiness hidden in life.
For example, order a takeaway, watch a movie, and not wash your face at home all day. More and more I feel that life does not have too many big truths, and some are just the warmth of a tea and a meal.
I used to think that my life was not to be happy with things and not to be sad with myself, but now it seems that this sentence is more suitable for Xinghui. When Little Green wondered about the question of people living in the city thinking that living in the countryside would heal the soul.
Yukie replied. "People who are surrounded by nature are not necessarily happy. No matter where you live, no matter where you go, happiness or not varies from person to person. How that person does it is the problem. Those who fight steadily and steadily will fight steadily wherever they are; and those who cannot do so will not be able to go anywhere.
I used to wonder about this like Xiao Lu, but now I completely agree with Yuki hye's point of view, and I have personally experienced the answer.
Now I cherish my life in the moment, just like the life in the TV series Bread and Soup and Cats. A warm day, reading a favorite book, brewing a steaming pot of good tea, a plate of pastries.
