Synopsis of Father and Mr. Ito · · · · · ·
Thirty-three-year-old Sai Yamanaka (Shuri Ueno) has been living a solitary life, and by chance, she met a man named Ito (Masaya Nakagawa), although Ito was twenty years older than Cai, did not have a formal job, and lived a casual life all day, but the gentleness and charm that emanated from him still captured Cai's heart, and the two began to live together. Cai's father (Fuji Ryuya) is a stubborn and tough old man, in a conflict, he actually runs away from home to protest, and without Cai's knowledge, he moves into her house, knowing the love that his daughter has been hiding. For this son-in-law who is not a few years younger than himself, the old man is all kinds of disdain, and the gap between him and Cai is also on the verge of eruption because of the narrowing of the distance.
Based on the novel of the same name by novelist Naoko Sawazawa, Father and Mr. Ito was directed by Yuki Taneda, written by Kurosawa Hisako, starring Shuri Ueno, and co-starring Masaya Nakagawa and Ryuya Fuji, and was released in Japan on October 8, 2016.
Movie Plot: It tells the story of the heroine Ah Cai who works in the bookstore and works in the canteen, and her boyfriend Mr. Ito, who is 20 years old, and begins to live together in the apartment, but due to accident, Ah Cai's father also has to start a common life with this age difference couple, the plot line is based on the contradictions between the three people and daily life, which is a rather interesting daily comedy
The following is to share with the netizens' film reviews, film reviews:
At first, it was incredible to see Thato-san choose a man over fifty years old to be with, but it was this mature man who taught Acai the responsibility of being a child, and as Ueno Shuri said, associating with "nianshang" men would make people grow. Gentle, steady, considerate Ito-san holding the loquat tree chosen by the old man and taking good care of it makes people very happy, if you love someone, you will also love his family, right? Ito-san touched Acai's head and said, "I won't run away." This head-touching killing is not only the tear point of Noda Sister who is quietly weeping, but also mine. So she chased out, the people who love you are willing to face the next life together, whether it is difficult or full of hardships, rest assured, the house will not run, I am also willing to use my own way to protect the people I love, more willing to guard her family. The 34-year-old Ah Cai is finally no longer confused, but firmly assumes her responsibility, because there is a gentle and powerful man behind her, who likes this warm ending!
Japanese movies have the magical energy of honey. 120 minutes of talking about ordinary people, you look at it but feel that it is not ordinary, not ordinary, but the viewer will still yearn for this kind of ordinary life. But don't forget, the reality is that we are all yearning for good jobs, good houses, and many tickets of human stories you can slowly watch for yourself. After watching the process, after reading it, I was thinking about a problem in my heart. Most parents want to be with their children when they are old, but they are afraid of adding trouble. It is also a virtue not to cause trouble to people. Even if the first forty years of working for the children for forty years, after old age, they still dare not live in the children's homes. Then, instead of being rejected, it is better to refuse first. It is such a strange old man, who is energetic when talking with students, but with the majesty of loneliness when he is with his children.
This sentence of the title, I understand, has two meanings. The first meaning: Mr. Ito tells Ah Cai not to escape the feelings of loving his father through his own mouth. Watching the whole movie, you can see that Ah Cai is very similar to his father, arrogant and stubborn. Ah Cai is not refusing to find his father who ran away from home, and he does not want his father to go to a nursing home. However, despite the entanglement, the arrogant still did not act. Mr. Ito hopes that Ah Cai will not escape this father-daughter love. The second meaning: That is, Mr. Ito tells Ah Cai with this sentence that he is ready for the life of the three of them, and he will not escape. In fact, no matter which layer of meaning, it is enough to reflect that Mr. Ito is a gentle and considerate person. This is also the reason why the father, Mr. Toito, takes care of loquat and asks him to take care of his daughter. At the end, yes cai chases a shot of his father. At the beginning, Ah Cai's expression was heavy, slowly opening his smile, and finally he completely opened his smile. At the beginning, I was still struggling with whether to chase or not, whether to live with my father? By the middle of the scales, it began to favor living with the father, until the final decision was made to accept the lives of three people.
This seems to be a stubborn father who is easily produced in Asian patriarchal cultures. Basically, the child's growth is not present, the communication opportunities with the children are zero, the skills are negative, without the daily care of the wife, life can not take care of themselves at all, a retirement is almost equivalent to obstructing the eyes and causing trouble of the big garbage, the way of expression is to hold the shelf of the paternalistic reprimand to find the stubble, regard the emotional disclosure as cowardice and shame. Even the act of stealing spoons was not recognized by him—although it was the way the old man expressed his loneliness and catharsis, the more childish way. But the poster has revealed a lot of information to us, the position of the three people, the father is at the bottom, the face is unhappy but actually the most pampered object; Mr. Ito is smiling and squinting at the top, he is the wisest person - in a unique way to help the parents find the "non-escape" self. There is really a way to deal with the two arrogant petites.
The film festival rushed to see Noda Sister, the plot seems to be warm and flat, but it brings me a strong touch, is to let people face life directly to the heart, I want to talk about the cardboard box full of spoons, although the movie does not directly explain the meaning of the existence of this box, but I think the box occupies a pivotal position in the whole play, standing in the perspective of Noda's father, just imagine when we get old, gradually become slow to move the brain dull, forgetful and even often unable to control their own behavior to do some incomprehensible absurd things, What will you do, this is a stage that must be experienced in life, but such a self is at the same time the most difficult to face and accept, the same for the stubborn self-esteem super strong Noda Dad The existence of this box of spoons is his unspeakable pain and vulnerable vulnerability, must be sealed with no one to touch, but also refuse anyone's sympathy and pity, he does not want family and friends to see such a self, would rather take this cardboard box away from the beloved family to find a place to hide alone, This reminds me of my grandmother who died at the age of 96, she always said that people have dignity to live, the most afraid of losing their ability to take care of themselves to rely on others to live, many scenes are vividly remembered, remember once she fell ill, called an ambulance, I held her to let her recline on me for the doctor to examine, in a critical condition, she supported the body and did not want to put all the weight on me, there are many times she always insisted on taking care of her daily life and did not want to add burden to the child, whenever I think of this I can't help but cry, The elders always pay the most for the children, and the elders are usually the ones who are neglected to take care of and care for the children when they grow up, please be kind to the elders around you, as patiently as possible to understand tolerance and companionship, because they have always treated us like this.
When I first saw this movie, I was misled by the title. "Father and Mr. Ito", looking at the title of this film, thinks it is a story between "my father and my friend". As expected, the story is like this: his father and his friends must initially have irreconcilable contradictions, and then in the stumbling trivialities of life, they accommodate each other, understand each other, and there are natural conflicts in the middle, there are feelings, there are feelings, and there are some feelings of "me". In the end, everything returned to calm.
The main line of the movie is actually family affection. And Mr. Ito's intention in the title, watching the whole movie, probably understand. It should be because he is the conciliator of this family, or because of him, there is such a story of father and daughter. But at first, I didn't like this "Mr. Ito". Because he looks old and obscene, he doesn't have much ability. Working in a school, but just a cook. If this is a young man, then he has enough age change and we can expect something from him. But Mr. Ito is dying of old age. He may have to cook at school for the rest of his life. So, why can he associate with Cai? Cai is young and beautiful, even if she does not have a stable job and only relies on part-time work to survive, she still has the opportunity to change all this.
Mr. Ito's gentleness was first perceived by his tolerance and acceptance of Sai's father. Unlike his daughter's resistance, Mr. Ito's attitude towards his old father was respectful. At first, you will feel that this respect is a kind of humility that arises because he is old and has no achievements but associates with young and beautiful girls. Maybe the old father, maybe Cai thinks so. However, time is flowing, life continues, and for a longer and longer time, Mr. Ito's attitude has not changed. Even, his attitude was infected with color. Only then did he realize that his respectful attitude towards his old father was, at first, an acceptance. Then, in the days of living with his father, he always reconciled the relationship between father and daughter with a mentality of rational understanding after all.
