There is a high-end Western restaurant in Shiroganedai, Tokyo, Japan, and the business is booming, and it takes half a year to make a reservation for a meal. Only because the restaurant's signature dish is "Mr. Kimura's Apple Soup". Unlike ordinary apples, Mr. Kimura's apples are not rotten after being cut open for two years, but slowly lose their moisture, and finally wither and become a reddish dried fruit.
Kimura's apples
Chef Inouchi Hisami said, "There is no explanation, only that the apple condenses the soul of Kimura Agong." "
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, what does Apple of Wonder tell? </h1>
The apple that condensed the soul was adapted into the movie "The Apple of Miracles", and director Yoshihiro Nakamura was moved to tears several times when reading the original film. Released in Japan on June 8, 2013, the film ranked third at the box office and first in audience satisfaction in its first week. The reason why the film has gained widespread popularity from the audience is because the film conveys the true meaning of perseverance to the audience. The protagonist persists in a seemingly hopeless matter for 11 years and finally reaps success. Many people interpret this film from an inspirational point of view, dream plus persistence, but in fact, this film is not about dreams. The protagonist's persistence, on the one hand, is due to his personality, on the other hand, it comes from the trust and support of his family.
The main story line told in the film is not complicated, a sentence can be summarized, the protagonist Kimura Akira is an ordinary fruit farmer, because his wife is seriously allergic to pesticides, so he insisted on the cultivation of apples without pesticides, after 11 years of hardships and hardships, finally cultivated a touching story of pure natural apples.
Stills from Apple of Wonder
It is not an easy task to present a simple story to the audience in a flat and direct way, and to bring people inspiration and thinking. Everyone has the idea of insisting on doing one thing well, but how many people can finally stick to it when they face obstacles on the way forward?
The famous Austrian writer Stephen Zweig, in his book "When the Stars of Mankind Shine", said, "Putting the unattainable into practice is the true sign of extraordinary perseverance." ”
But the problem is that people who really have extraordinary perseverance are, after all, very few, and the success of Akira Kimura in the film "Apple of Miracles" is inevitable but also quite accidental. Next, I will use the classic lines in the film to sort out the family relationship of the family in the film, and the practical significance of a good family relationship.
Behind the successful counterattack of the "fool-like" character, what can make a person persist for 11 years to do a seemingly hopeless thing, this is the idea that the film really wants to convey.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, love and encouragement, run through the core of the whole movie</h1>
The protagonist of the "Miracle Apple" film, Akira Kimura, has a very typical personality and likes to investigate everything. He is not a well-behaved child in the traditional sense, from childhood like to study all kinds of things, the film uses a few simple pictures to outline his hobby of disassembling machine parts, not only dismantling the radio at home, alarm clocks, motorcycles, and even stealing the tube of the school radio room, ready to make a computer himself. The dismantling and modification of machinery was the beginning of his creative ability, a creative character that set the stage for his future development of pesticide-free apples, and a large part of this character came from his mother.
Kimura was disassembling a toy when he was a child
1. The love and encouragement of her mother have created a tenacious character of Akira Kimura
Former U.S. President Barack Obama said that her mother was the most influential person in her life, "she is the most benevolent person I know, the noblest soul, and the best things in me are attributed to her."
In the film, Kimura Akira's mother also plays an important role in his growth process, Akira wants to take apart and study everything in his youth, but almost every time it ends in failure, often because of naughtiness and is scolded and reprimanded by his father, but the mother will always stand in the positive guidance, when he improves the megaphone failure, the mother whispers to Akira: "Rather than scolding, you care more about the failure of the megaphone, you are not willing to find the answer, is your personality not like this?" Don't give up, after experiencing a failure, throw away the original common sense, after experiencing countless failures, people can always find the answer."
Akira Kimura's mother
It is the love and encouragement of her mother when she was a teenager that has created the perseverance and perseverance of qiuze in the future.
2. The understanding and support of the wife is the most solid spiritual support
Akira's wife, Mieko, does not have many lines throughout the film, but the narration throughout the film is narrated from Mieko's point of view.
"This man will surely find the answer, from before, such a person. Whether it's a motorcycle or a loudspeaker, not for myself, but to bring everyone dreams and smiling faces, pesticide-free is also for me. ”
There is no better love than this, trusting each other and supporting each other to give each other encouragement.
"Why only humans laugh?"
"Laughter is a function that only humans have"
"Function?"
"That's right, function! Maybe human beings are amazing."
"You're a fool, hahahahaha"
At the beginning of the film, there is this interesting dialogue between Akira and his wife Mieko, and Mieko's hearty laughter is impressive at the beginning of the film.
The husband taught the wife that life should be spent in a smile, and the wife remembered what the husband said all the time, and laughter is a great function that only human beings have. Later, when Qiu Ze encountered many problems in cultivating pesticide-free apples, the smile on his face gradually began to disappear, because his persistence made his life into trouble.
But Mieko never complained about being poor. Even if she still has to take care of her three children, even if there is no hope in her husband's career, she firmly believes that this matter is right, her hard work, and in the most difficult moments of the family's life, it is the vegetables she grows that feeds the whole family. Not only that, but the wife also reminds her husband that "smiling is a function that only human beings have, and it must not be lost."
His wife reminded Kimura to keep smiling
Supporting him without abandonment, encouraging him with a smile, giving her husband an optimistic attitude and the determination to continue to meet the challenge, the wife continues the role of the protagonist's mother encouraging him when he was a child.
3. My father-in-law's firm belief is always infected with Qiu Ze
When Qiu Ze had no choice but to sell two apple fields in order to make ends meet, the mother visited her relatives with a sincere attitude to express her apologies for her son's behavior.
But what did my father-in-law say? "Pesticide-free is also my decision, and Qiu Ze is also my son, and I am also responsible for what my son does."
My father-in-law was convinced that Qiu Ze would succeed from the beginning, from the initial handing over one of his apple orchards to his son-in-law for pesticide-free test fields, to four pieces, and then to the two pieces after selling. During the period when Qiu Ze was at its lowest, my father-in-law never said that Qiu Ze was not half a point, and his body exuded a strong personality charm.
"Promise to you, Father-in-law"
"Just call your father"
"Yes, Father"
His eyes are sharp, and his father-in-law Seiko Kimura, who inadvertently has a stubborn look on his face. From the beginning of the film, it gives people a serious and old-fashioned feeling.
father-in-law
But it was this old man who always had a serious face, who became the most powerful practical supporter behind Qiu Ze, from the spirit to the material, from the very beginning when a person withstood the pressure of the Agricultural Association insisted that Qiu Ze change the fields to pesticide-free cultivation, to taking out all his savings to subsidize the family, even in the end, even Qiu Ze began to hover around the edge of abandonment, but the father-in-law still did not have the slightest complaint and anger.
"This is the enlightenment of the battlefield" is a short sentence, no less than the best gift in the world.
4. The innocence of the child has become the source of motivation for Qiu Ze to persist
"My dad is growing apples, but I haven't eaten apples, I haven't even bitten them, because there are a lot of worms on dad's trees that can't produce apples, but dad will never give up, so I want to eat the apples that dad planted one day."
Daughter chicks
This is the opening part of an essay "My Daddy" written by Akize's daughter at school. The daughter of a grower has never eaten an apple. Because dad like a fool to experiment with pesticide-free apples, thus suffering from the white eyes of classmates, endure the poverty of life, but the chicks and adults, firmly believe that dad will succeed, in the harsh living environment, from a young age to understand the difficulties of adults, a newly bought eraser actively broken into three pieces, divided into two sisters, in order to save money for the family, even a small toy is not willing to let Dad buy.
When Qiu Ze saw that success was far away and wanted to give up with a heavy guilt for his family, the young man stood up. She said: "Don't give up, absolutely not, if you give up now, why did our family become so poor?" ”
"But Dad will never give up, because I want to eat the apples that Dad grows one day."
If you are a father, is there any reason to give up?
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, Kimura Akira's shining point</h1>
What kind of magic does the protagonist Kimura Akira have in the film to get everyone's encouragement and support? In fact, the reasons are not complicated.
1, everything is mutual
Any love is not one-sided, the protagonist Kimura Akira is also deeply in love with his wife, as the second son in the family, only because Mieko is an only child, he resolutely chose to become a door-to-door son-in-law, and changed his surname to Kimura (real name Mitsui Akira), and at the same time gave up his job in Tokyo and returned to his wife's hometown to become a fruit farmer.
Apple orchard
He could have grown apples like a normal grower, but because his wife was allergic to pesticides, he could even go into a coma when he was severe. If apples continue to be grown in the traditional way, the wife's body will undoubtedly be harmed. Therefore, he had the original intention of cultivating pesticide-free apples.
2. Self-motivation and feasibility
Autumn is not a hot head, blindly to cultivate pesticide-free apples, the nature of kimura who likes to study things is usually the biggest hobby is to read, he often goes to the library to find a variety of agricultural technology books to learn, improve his agricultural knowledge.
Once, he stumbled upon a book about natural agriculture, "Natural Farming Law", (the author of this book, Masanobu Fukuoka, who won the Magsaysay Prize (Social Contribution Award), known as the "Asian Nobel Prize"), which made him understand that it was possible to really do agricultural cultivation without pesticides or fertilizers.
Akira Kimura reads the Natural Farming Law
Moreover, Qiu Ze not only experimented with pesticide-free apple trees, but also carried out the cultivation of pesticide-free vegetables and the like, and did not encounter too many setbacks to achieve success, so he firmly believes that apple trees will also be able to cultivate successfully. This is also the fundamental reason why he has been able to persevere and support him with his family.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >4, the practical significance of "The Apple of Miracles" | Family relationships play a key role in personal growth</h1>
1. Good family relationships are essential for children's growth
Psychologist Maslow has a famous five-level theory of human needs: survival, security, belonging, respect, and self-actualization
Through research, Maslow believes that when people's physiological needs are met, that is, after eating and wearing warm, the greatest desire in the heart is love and belonging, they are like food for the soul, if they are not available, it will make people feel empty and depressed
If the family relationship is substituted into the five levels of Maslow's needs, only a good family relationship (sense of belonging) can be talked about respect, and conversely, if even the third level (sense of belonging) is not reached, respect cannot be mentioned.
Most parents can easily meet the first three levels of Maslow's needs in life, but in the fourth link (respect), it will appear to be missing, which is the most critical part of the child's development.
Curiosity is an inevitable process for children in the growth stage, is parents guiding and inspiring curiosity? Or do you dispel your child's curiosity? This is a kind of respect for parents for their children.
Qian Xuesen's teacher, the world's outstanding leader in the field of aerospace, the father of the famous scientist Theodore von Carmen once said: "Cultivating children's curiosity about knowledge is of great help to children in their early stages." ”
Von Carmen
Inspired by his father's curiosity, Von Carmen was able to map the movements of the planets at the age of 8, and his father often disassembled various radio devices with Little Carmen to study how they worked. During the dismantling process, the father will also tell the purpose and reason of the disassembly of the little Carmen: "Human beings not only need to observe, but also need to understand." This is also the biggest difference between humans and animals. His father's words left a deep impression on and inspired him in his childhood, and thanks to his father's excellent education as a child, von Carmen eventually grew into a good scientist.
And the prerequisite for all this is to have good family relations. (Sense of belonging)
Back in the film "Miracle Apple", we can observe that Kimura Akira was finally able to successfully grow pesticide-free apples, and the biggest credit came from his good family relationship.
2, how to produce a good family relationship
Good family relationship does not mean a complete family relationship, it is at the core of good relationship, single parent family (father or mother) can also establish a good relationship with the child alone. We can also expand this relationship, such as husband and wife relationship, mother-in-law relationship and a series of family relations, and even substitute into social relations.
Good family relationships are mainly reflected in four aspects, that is, the second part of this article, which can be summarized as understanding and trust, support and encouragement.
The well-known great inventor Edison was a child because of his frequent wild thoughts, always asked all kinds of strange and tricky questions to the teacher, so he was judged by the teacher to be a "low-energy child", the mother of course did not believe that her son was a low-energy child, so she made a very bold decision, let Edison quit school and teach himself, so Edison's school career lasted only three months.
The mother was not only full of courage, but also set a goal for Edison, who dropped out of school, that ordinary people could not imagine: to become a great person in the world.
Edison didn't hesitate in the slightest: "I promise you, Mom!"
Since then, his mother has become his personal teacher, and under the guidance of his mother, Edison read many obscure books in his childhood, and it is difficult to imagine how a child under the age of ten could read "Philosophy of Nature and Experimentation", "History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", "History of the World" and other works, and know that these books are more professional even for adults.
His mother's education is not only in reading, but also in order for him to know how to think after reading the book, and encourage him to practice, at the age of ten, with the support of his parents, Edison established his own chemical laboratory in the basement of the home, and often caused accidents. Replaced by an ordinary family, I am afraid that few parents have such boldness.
Young Edison
But it is precisely thanks to the encouragement and support of his parents that there is the great inventor Edison, who is later known to the world.
Edison later recalled, "My mother made me, she was full of hope for me, I want to live for her, I can't let her down." 」
Looking back at the family of the autumn festival in the film, you will also find that qiu ze can finally succeed, inseparable from the understanding and support of the family, the film is not called "Miracle Apple", it is better to call "Miracle Family" more appropriate, there are such mothers, wives, fathers-in-law, such daughters, miraculously has always supported the protagonist, and become his solid and reliable backing, providing him with an inexhaustible source of power, without the support of the family, "Miracle Apple" will never be born.
3, learn to meet the challenge with a smile, attitude determines everything
"A great heart should show such a temperament--greet the tragic fate with a smiling face, and cope with all misfortunes with a hundred times more courage" - Lu Xun
In the film, the wife says to her husband who is in a low period, "Smiling is a function that only human beings have, and it must not be lost" Although the words are different, the essence is the same.
Psychology generally believes that an optimistic attitude will make people reduce anxiety and broaden their thinking. Optimism, on the other hand, is about looking at the world around you with magnanimity, pleasure, and positivity.
Martin Seligman, president of the American Psychological Association, believes that optimism is an important factor in a person's success.
Hawking, hailed as the most outstanding theoretical physicist after Einstein, after a speech, a female reporter rushed to the podium and asked: "The disease has fixed you in a wheelchair forever, don't you think fate has made you lose too much?" ”
Hawking's face was full of smiles, and after tapping the keyboard hard with his 3 fingers that he could still move, four paragraphs of text appeared on the display: "My fingers can still move; my brain can still think; I have a lifelong pursuit of ideals; I have loved me and my loved relatives and friends."
Hawking
After answering the reporter's question, he typed out his fifth sentence: "By the way, I still have an optimistic heart!" The scene suddenly erupted into thunderous applause.
So, remember, "Smiling is a function that only humans have, and it must not be lost."
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
Looking back, it is not difficult to find that Qiu Ze was finally able to successfully cultivate pesticide-free apples, and there is no deliberate accident in the film, which is a way of expression of dramatic conflict. Behind the success of a person is mixed with the love and encouragement of so many people, so many sacrifices and efforts, so that Qiu Ze has an almost crazy persistence and perseverance, and finally ushered in success with difficulty. This is an inevitable result.
"Hardships and hardships, Yuru Yucheng"
All experiences in life are an asset.
As the film ends, Mieko smiles at Akira and says, "Every day in the past eleven years is an irreplaceable treasure, thank you."
