A wild apple that does not use pesticides and fertilizers is actually kept for two years, but its planting research has taken a full decade, which is the apple of miracles. @Jane Lee One
The apple of the miracle is a biographical drama film directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura and starring Takashi Abe, Miho Kanno, and Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, released in 2013 with a Douban rating of 8.0. The film is based on real deeds, telling the story of his wife Mieko's long-term cultivation of apples affected by pesticides, and her health is extremely poor. Husband Akira Kimura decided to abandon the conventional spraying method of fruit growers and insisted on organic cultivation of apples, and after repeated failures and explorations, in the eleventh year, he finally cultivated a touching story of pure natural apples.
The Japanese film uses the conventional simple narrative style, clear and smooth, with The delicate daily slow-paced life depiction with Japanese characteristics, and the comedy expression integrated with exaggerated humor, it is an inspirational drama that laughs after laughter but is thought-provoking. The outstanding acting skills of the powerful actors, coupled with the professional guidance of director Yoshihiro Nakamura, interpret the real peasant life very realistically, and the storyline is slow and balanced, and the degree of completion is very high. The film vividly shows the craftsman spirit of the Japanese people who pursue the ultimate, go through countless hardships, and never give up.
Many people watch this movie and interpret it only from the inspirational aspect of the protagonist of the movie story, which is not comprehensive enough. Today, I will interpret the narrative method, character shaping, and realistic thinking of the film in an all-round way, and feel the artistic charm of this Japanese civilian biographical inspirational drama film:
Narrative mode: The combination of conventional linear narrative and memory narrative integrates humorous and exaggerated dramatic expression, which intuitively brings the audience a rich sense of experience and layering
Character shaping: A large number of close-ups, slow motions, and the contrast between the performances of different characters highlight the hero's spirit of insisting on doing a good job, the selfless love and solid backing of supporters
Realistic thinking: Based on the storyline content of the movie "The Apple of Miracles", combined with the inspirational actions of the protagonist of the film, I will talk about my three-point realistic thinking about never giving up the spirit
<h1 class="ql-long-28948612">
01 Narrative mode: The combination of conventional linear narrative and memory narrative, integrated into humorous and exaggerated comedy expression, intuitively brings the audience a rich sense of experience and layering</h1>
The movie "Apple of Miracles" tells the story of a simple commoner growing apples, and the protagonist Akira Kimura embarks on an impossible task for his frail wife, challenging the pesticide-free cultivation of apples. The film is based on a true story, and the film was released with excellent reputation that year, and many viewers burst into tears. Although the story is more traditional and single, we are sure of kimura's persistence and efforts in the movie. In addition, the director uses conventional linear narrative and reminiscence narrative, combined with humorous exaggeration, to make the film full of charm.
First of all, the conventional linear narrative process from migrant work to farming and planting pure natural apples illustrates the difficult task of autumn
In the 1970s, Akira grew up in the modern metropolitan city of Tokyo and worked there. After marrying a fruit farmer girl, Mieko Kimura, she joined the Kimura family and changed her name to Kimura Akino. Since then, he has moved firmly in the direction of an excellent fruit grower. Fate played tricks on people, and her wife had been engaged in this poisonous apple cultivation for many years, and her skin was eroded, and she fell ill. Kimura Akira made up his mind not to plant apples without chemical fertilizers and pesticides to prevent his wife from being harmed again. Ten years of research, the eleventh year was successful.
The story of the protagonist of the film growing a pure natural apple is narrated according to the normal time mode, telling the development process of the storyline of eleven years of cultivation. Most movies are this conventional linear narrative, such as the domestic movie "Let the Bullets Fly". The biggest advantage of conventional linear storytelling is to maintain the integrity of the story, present the theme more intuitively and clearly, and have a high degree of audience acceptance. As the saying goes, "ten years to grind a sword", autumn takes ten years to grow pure natural apples, indicating that this task is very difficult, and non-ordinary people can insist on being competent.
Secondly, recalling the narrative protagonist's learning and growth experience when he was a child, let people understand that Qiu Ze's insistence on the spirit is due to personality
From the beginning of the protagonist Qiu Ze's marriage to become a fruit farmer, the film screen inserts a storyline of reminiscence narration that he learned to grow up when he was a child: Qiu Ze, like many of his peers in the era of rapid economic development, he is particularly curious about mechanical modern products such as automobiles and guitars, and what is different is that he pays attention to them a hundred times more than ordinary people, the more difficult it is, the more he likes to study, countless times he has failed, but he has been looking for answers.
In my opinion, when the protagonist begins to grow natural apples, the director inserts memories of the protagonist's adventurous growth experience when he was a child, and metaphorically studies the persistence of using pesticide-free and fertilizer-free apples, which is due to his personality. The so-called personality changes people's destiny, and a good character benefits a lifetime. Good character is made up of good habits. Many people, who are not willing to be the world's number one freak like him, have failed countless times, never succeeded, and insist on always looking for answers. Therefore, he has a miracle that no one else has a rotten apple.
Finally, the humorous and exaggerated comedic technique implies the protagonist's foolish craftsmanship
As one of the main forms of mass entertainment, comedy films show an exaggerated and humorous style, and its use dissolves people's complete despair and indifference, giving the protagonist the motivation to insist on the spirit of a fool. The performance film inserts memories of his boyhood when he wanted to take apart everything to study, and finally his friend's motorcycle exploded, the school stereo also exploded, and every time it failed, silly look, which made the honest father very angry, but ushered in the female classmate Mieko with a warm smile, and the encouragement and support of her mother.
The protagonist was greatly touched by the fact that his wife fell ill for several days due to pesticides, and he made the decision to cultivate pure natural apples that did not need to be sprayed with pesticides. This bold idea was considered whimsical and dreamy at the time. Kimura Tenze tried to experiment in various ways for ten years, experienced countless failures and sneers, and his family was too poor to open the pot, but he still insisted. In the eleventh year, he was disheartened and wanted to end, even the rope bullied him, he ate the dirt of the chestnut tree next to him, and the god of fate finally smiled at him.
In my opinion, the director of the film uses an exaggerated humorous comedy style to give the protagonist a cultural bearing of the fool craftsman who is called "the world's first idiot", so that the characters and audiences in the play laugh with tears, and let the trivial life become a sad and heavy smile hanging in the corners of people's mouths, with a deeper spiritual meaning. Craftsmen take a year to hand-make a watch, and its value is tens of millions of luxuries.
02 Character shaping: A large number of close-ups, slow motions, and the contrast of different character performances highlight the hero's spirit of insisting on doing a good job, the selfless love and solid backing of supporters</h1>
The movie "Apple of Miracles" is the simplest family inspirational film I have ever seen, telling the story of the husband's struggle to improve his family and protect his wife after his wife often deals with pesticides because he planted apple trees and fell ill for several days. Faced with the pressure of a poor life, the scornful eyes of others, hovering on the brink of suicide, and finally with the warmth and solid support of the selfless love of his relatives at home, he regained his strength and eventually went to success. Among them, mothers, fathers-in-law, and wives have the greatest influence on Qiu Ze.
First, the generous and peaceful mother supports the creation of Qiu's never-say-die personality
The film presents two close-up shots of Tianze's mother: one is when Qiu Ze is scolded and beaten by her father, and her mother does not argue with her father, but whispers softly and gently to Tianze:
Children, don't give up, after experiencing countless failures, people can always find the answer in their hearts.
Another shot is when her son's life is difficult, she quietly puts rice in the doorway, and gently walks away without saying a word. When she thinks that her child has caused trouble and trouble in her family, the mother will take the whole family to apologize to the family.
In my opinion, the close-up slow motion of these films creates a selfless and generous and peaceful mother image in three dimensions, thus supporting the creation of Qiu's never-say-die personality. Without the tolerance and encouragement of the mother, Tianze will follow the path of ordinary people in the direction of national test-taking education like most people; there is no never-say-die personality, and there will be no "miracle apple" in the world. For a child, a mother is not only a continuation of life, but also the inheritance of the soul. The image of a mother affects a child's life, especially in education.
Barack Obama, a black American president, once said: The person who has influenced him the most in his life is his mother, and the kindness and hard work of a single mother has given him self-confidence and made him believe that he is the one who can do anything, and the best thing in me is attributed to her.
Second, the enlightened father-in-law brought Qiu Ze all-round support in spirit and financial resources
Father of Mieko Kimura and father-in-law of Akira Kimura. When his daughter was ill and his son-in-law wanted to cultivate pure natural apples, he gave Tianze a piece of land to experiment; when there was an agricultural planting conference, all the people opposed the son-in-law's planting method, and he voted in favor; when the people around him sneered at the son-in-law, he gave the courage to support and encourage the former battlefield; when the son-in-law lost for eight years, without results, he took out all his savings and mortgaged the land to give all the financial support.
I think that the scene of the agricultural congress and the villagers completely denying the sneering and sarcastic scene of the son-in-law, compared to the father-in-law, who has no one to follow the clouds, and who is clearly and rationally standing on the same front of Tianze shows that his relationship with Tianze is more like a comrade-in-arms than family affection; highlighting that the father-in-law is a very enlightened and respectable old man. Tianze is a door-to-door son-in-law, the father-in-law treats his son as a son, and takes out all his property to support the son-in-law's career, which is a great measure, and selflessly provides a good basic condition for Tianze to start a business. I would like to say: To have such a good father-in-law, is it Tianze who saved the Tianhe System in his previous life?
Third, the gentle and virtuous wife is Qiu Ze's strongest spiritual backing
Tenno's wife, Mieko Kimura, is a beautiful woman who smiles all day. During the study period, every day was ugly, close-up shots of her always giving him the warmest smile; she had a fever due to allergies to pesticides, her body festered but never made a sound; she was so poor that she couldn't even pay the electricity bill, she didn't complain, but always stood by her husband's side, gave him encouragement, gave him a smile, and did her best to grow some vegetables to maintain the family's livelihood. The three daughters she educated, smiling every day, looked at her father as an example.
I think that Qiu Ze's wife is a typical kind and hard-working fruit farmer girl, and she also has the quiet and virtuous characteristics of a Japanese woman, and it is precisely because of this uncomplaining encouragement and support that Tianze can persist until the eleventh year of successfully growing pure natural apples. Living in Japan, this miracle apple has been a sweet drink specially prepared for Michelin restaurants in Tokyo, and people need to queue for more than a year to drink it! Husband and wife are in the same heart, their profits are broken, a husband and wife hand in hand, with each other, will have a happy and successful life.
Generous mother, enlightened father-in-law, virtuous wife shaped and determined Qiu Ze never give up his apple career dream. Qiu Ze every time he learns to study green planting, in the close-up shot, he is fully focused on reading, studying the soil, catching insects, and getting up two hours early every day to go to the fruit farm, these close-up scenes vividly express the precious spirit of the protagonist's pursuit of the ultimate, after countless hardships, and never give up, let us feel the freshness and tenacity in human nature.
03 Realistic Thinking: Based on the storyline content of the movie "Apple of Miracles", combined with the inspirational actions of the protagonist of the film, I will talk about my three-point realistic thinking about never giving up the spirit</h1>
The movie "Miracle Apple" is about Qiu Ze planting organic apples to protect his wife from pesticides, a decision that was beyond ordinary people's imagination at the time and was considered impossible to succeed. But once he made a decision, he studied it with all his heart. During this period, his wife and other family members became his most solid spiritual and material backing. In the absence of any reference situation, he can only grope forward in the continuous failure, after ten years of hard work, his dream is on the verge of collapse, still did not give up, the eleventh year miracle finally came.
The film is based on the true story of the real Japanese character Akira Kimura, whose protagonist Tenze never gives up, making the film top 50 weeks before its release. Today, based on the storyline content, combined with the inspirational behavior of the protagonist of the film, I will talk about my three realistic thoughts on the spirit of never giving up:
(1) Education will never give up and cultivate the talents of the country's pillars
In the film, Qiu's gentle mother has always encouraged Tianze's research spirit, teaching him that after countless failures, he will always find the answer. Later, Qiu Ze's daughter wrote:
My dad was an apple grower.
From birth to the age of eight, I had never eaten the apples my father had grown, nor had I seen them.
But I still want Dad to keep growing,
someday
I'll be able to eat the most precious apple in the world.
Her mother taught Qiu Ze never to give up, cultivated a son who created the world's first miracle of pure natural apples, pioneered the cultivation of organic crops for agriculture, and became a pillar of the country; as Qiu Ze's daughter, she heard about her father's never giving up on the process of planting apples, and her bones also revealed the character of never giving up. The film shows the daughter sick with a fever and also encourages the father who is on the verge of collapse:
We can't give up, or we'll be poor for so many years
Parents are the best role models for children, and the spirit of education that never gives up is passed down from generation to generation, which plays a key role in supporting the cultivation of national talents. Never giving up is for the determination of things, do not give up and do not abandon, a spirit of hard work; a force that is not afraid of dangers; a belief that does not reach the goal. Therefore, it has been used as a motto by many people throughout the ages to encourage themselves. Former British Prime Minister Ingle University's speech success recipe: never give up! Never give up! Or never give up!
(2) Never give up on entrepreneurship in order to see the miracle of success
When the protagonist of the film, Qiu Ze, planted organic apples for the eighth year, he still did not have any harvest, not even the apple blossoms. Dreaming that he was in hell, he said, "Moving forward is hell, and going backward is hell, so why not go forward?" God gave him a revelation when he was about to despair, and finally found the answer. Qiu ze stood up again. Finally, in the eleventh year, the apple tree blossomed, and he planted the most delicious apple in the world. Nature rewards those who work tirelessly with great miracles.
Qiu Ze insisted on growing organic apples for ten years to succeed in the entrepreneurial story tells us that on the road of entrepreneurial exploration, it is destined to be full of bumps and difficulties, repeated attempts, repeated failures; sometimes it feels that the goal will be far away, and the debt is also heavy; the strange and stupid persistent behavior of their own deviant will also be alienated and isolated by the people around us; as long as we persist on the correct scientific road, we can see the nearby success miracle. Alibaba founder Jack Ma's success in starting a business was influenced by the spirit of never giving up on the Chinese women's volleyball team.
(3) Love never gives up, has the ability to be happy
Fast forward ten years, Qiuze's apple planting exploration has never improved, and the family has reached the point of bankruptcy, with power outages and water cuts, unable to pay for daughters' tuition, and no money to buy rice to eat. But Qiu Ze's wife has never said a word of complaint, she and her daughters work together in words and deeds, and never give up every day to warmly encourage the discouraged Qiu Ze to bravely persevere. Over the past ten years, Qiu Ze and his family have often spoken to the apple trees, apologized to them, and asked them not to give up and work together to blossom. The apple tree that had finally communicated was moved.
Qiu Ze and Qiu Ze's wife and daughter are a family full of love, and they give love and gratitude to their families and apple trees for support. Because never give up the touch of love, let Qiu never give up and persevere until success, while improving the economic conditions of the family, the unity of love makes the family cohesion stronger. This is the testimony of love never giving up and having the ability to be happy. A loving family, the children will also be very good, but also have a strong happiness.
Autumn took ten years to grow pure natural apples, so we insist on ten years of focus and seriously do one thing, is there still no success? Do you have the confidence to do the best in ten years? It depends on whether we can solve problems in time when we encounter them, and we can still be distracted after countless failures and never give up. This spirit of pursuing the ultimate, going through countless hardships, and never giving up is something we do not have.

It's not that I work hard, it's that the apple tree is working hard. ——— Akira Kimura
The movie "Apple of Miracles" tells a story about "how the apple of miracles was born under the stupidity of a silly person", and the grounded and diligent protagonist Qiu Ze in the film has a spirit of condensing the soul of the grower; the apple of miracles is not only a delicious pure natural fruit, but the spirit of condensing the fool's subversion road that never gives up, which moves and inspires us.
