It was movie day again, and when I turned on the computer to find a movie, the Japanese movie suddenly appeared in my head, but I don't remember its name, only that there was a big tree in the movie poster, and then there was a very strange movie name. With this information, I quickly found it in Douban "Which Ah Na Ah God Goes to the Village".
When I saw the name again, I was probably as surprised as when I first saw it, thinking what the hell this name was, but at the same time very curious and expectant. When I decided to look at it, I actually began to have an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in my heart, probably knowing that those curiosities and expectations would soon be filled. And I'm not at all worried that a high-rated Japanese movie will disappoint me, so at the same time there's a sense of peace of mind.
It's completely impossible to guess what the movie is about, and some of the initial footage made me think it might be a fast-paced movie. Fortunately, it was just a very simple preparation, and I transferred to the "God Goes to the Village".
Although the treatment of some details seems to be a bit blunt, nonsensical and even absurd, but on the whole, it is flawed. The storytelling style is still unique to Japan (as for what style it is, I can only realize that I can't say it now), and there are laughs, tears, and even some hidden truths throughout the film.
Hirano Jun's process of going to the village of Shingo is simply not too absurd, and then his persistence is also difficult to convince. But anyway he went and persevered. His inclusion and acceptance can even make people feel as if he belonged there.
When Yoki spoke for Hirano at the festival meeting, when Hirano led the "logging song" in the car, I almost burst into tears. I think one of the reasons I like Japanese movies is that they don't exaggerate on some emotional points, but in a point-to-point way, sometimes even a little bit introverted, but they can receive it and reach resonance at a certain point.
As for what that point is, there is no need to summarize too much, you go to see, what you can receive, that is what.
There is another scene in the movie that impressed me, that is, during the festival, Hirano's family suddenly called and said that it was as if something had happened to his father. When I saw this, I was worried about whether I was going to stage a dog blood plot, but on second thought, this is a Japanese movie, and this will not happen. Sure enough, when Hirano went to answer the phone, there was nothing to do, just a oolong.
At the end of the film, Hirano puts the snake wine in front of his house, and returns to the village without even entering the door, and the film ends. I have to say that I am a little unfinished, and I still want to continue to watch. Hirano belongs to The Village of Shinji, or rather, he belongs to the mountains and forests, or maybe he belongs to naoki, haha.
Shinji Village is a small mountain village far from the city, and the villagers have lived on the mountain forest for generations, and they can produce the finest wood every year, which can only be done with the careful care of generation after generation. The foreman said that forestry is not like agriculture, whether forestry is well done or not, it cannot be seen when you are alive, and what you are doing now can only be seen by future generations.
The people who go to the village have a reverence for the mountains and forests, and there are things they do to them.
