Many people choose to stay at home during the New Year's Day holiday and reduce travel and gatherings.
In 2020, our lives are changing, and we are used to facing all kinds of problems, and everything is getting better and better.
The end of the mediocrity passed in a flash, and I realized that this year had finally passed.
I can't help but think back to when I last traveled, watched a lot of movies on days when I couldn't go out, and followed the protagonist around cities and different countries.
I thought that the tourist destinations that were suitable for winter were either very warm in the south, or simply cold enough to enjoy the beauty of the "snow country".
Walking into the movie "If the Cat Disappears from the World", "Cloud" travels to Hokkaido in winter, and the story of music flow unfolds little by little, which is a winter journey, but also a spiritual journey.
The protagonist is a handsome young postman who lives every day uneventfully until a sudden fainting breaks the calm on the way to deliver the letter.
He was examined in the hospital, and his brain cancer was advanced, which could deteriorate and die at any time.
In the midst of helplessness, a demon Aloha, who looked exactly like him, appeared before him.
The devil tells the male protagonist that the way to prolong life is to choose to make something disappear, and each time something disappears, he can live an extra day.
The choice is not in the hands of the male protagonist, but the devil, who chooses the phone, the movie, the clock and the cat in turn, and as one thing disappears, the memories associated with it will also disappear.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > winter trip to Hokkaido</h1>
The first shot of the film is set on Mt. Tengu, at an altitude of 532.5 meters, which is the highest point of Otaru and overlooks the entire Otaru.
The night view here, along with the night view of Hakodate and the night view of Sapporo on Mt. Moiwa, is known as the three night views of Hokkaido.
The location where the man delivered the letter and fell was a pier in Hakodate, the pier docked large passenger ships and sailing ships, very close to Hakodate Mountain, you can sit quietly and wait for a sunset, it must be very beautiful.
In the movie, there is a scene of the male protagonist riding a bicycle in parallel with the tram, which is filmed at Aoyanagicho Station, and the place where he rides to the top of the ramp and looks down is the Pose Ramp.
This is a ramp that runs through the towns of Yayoi and Mutencho, and there are small theaters and tea houses on the ramp and at the foot of the mountain, and the slopes of Zimipo, Yukipo and Lookoutpo are called Tokiwa-slopes.
The café the man went to after learning of his illness was a Japanese tea shop 77 meters from Hakodate-mae Station, where he could drink coffee or dine, and the decoration style was very Showa style.
The scene of the male protagonist and his girlfriend falling asleep in the tram was filmed with the Hakodate City Power 530 model, which is mainly brown and green, and the wooden structure is full of retro style.
The Den 530 is the oldest surviving model in Hakodate City and has been in operation since 1951.
The male protagonist and his girlfriend met at the Cross Street station, hanging a retro clock, and the background is a European-style building.
The café where the man and his girlfriend dated was set at the 9-15 coffee shop in Omachi, Hakodate City, which is a small two-story building with a wooden body.
The male protagonist's father's watch shop was transformed by the crew, which is actually a shop and has now been closed.
The man rides a kitten on a path in front of Santa Maria's Church in Hakodate City, and the place where he stops is high in Funamicho, where you can see a sea.
Temporary family trip, the male protagonist and his mother go to the beach is the Kajihama Naru Coast, Kajihama originated from the Ainu language of an indigenous ethnic group in Japan, which is "bowl", which means that the shape of the coast is oval like a bowl.

Suppose the telephone disappeared from the world
For the phone, it is more of a annoyance than convenience, the devil gives a day to think, so many contacts can not find a person who wants to contact immediately.
The man called his ex-girlfriend, and when they met, the girl was surprised that he would suddenly contact him.
The two met on a wrong phone call, and when they answered the phone, the man happened to be watching "Metropolis", both of them liked to watch movies very much, and the girl told him the ending.
What is even more coincidental is that the two people are actually the same school, and they are naturally together under the circumstances of getting along.
When meeting, the male protagonist is always a bit wooden, nervous and does not know how to express, and when the two people are separated from each other, there are always endless words when they call.
The man would talk to her about music and fiction, and although it took only twenty minutes to walk from their home, he could still talk on the phone for four or five hours.
He asked the girl who she wanted to contact before the phone disappeared and the girl said she didn't want the phone to go away because they wouldn't have met without the phone.
The demon appeared, the day was over, all the phones in the world disappeared, the scenes of the past quickly faded away, and he ran in pain to find the girl.
The moment he stood in front of her, he found that he was already a stranger to her.
Suppose movies disappeared from the world
Has been making such a sacrifice, day by day to survive until when, the male protagonist painfully thought, this time the devil chose to make the movie disappear.
The male protagonist and his friend Da also met in the classroom, and he saw that the other party loved movies very much, so he began to talk.
The male protagonist just simply likes to watch movies, and cannot make a big talk about it, but his friends can say that the head is the Tao, has his own unique insights, and is even more precious about the classic lines in the movie.
He chose one movie after another for the male protagonist that suited him, and the first movie recommended was very similar to the male protagonist, with no strong emotions, no fierce fights, no light and heavy, and the lines were unforgettable for a long time.
Life looks like tragedy in the near distance, but it looks like a comedy from a distance.
"Sun Thief", "Metropolis", etc., recommend a movie every day, the number of movies is unlimited, and their relationship will continue forever.
When he first recommended the movie, the male protagonist said that his friend was like the Tsuruya DVD rental company, he said that it was not Tsuruya, it was Tatsuya.
When tatsuya became an adult, she actually went to work at Tsukiya, and they still played the classic line meme when they met, and "Hello, Tsukiya, no, my name is Tatsuya".
The male protagonist asked Takuya which one he would choose if he chose a movie before he died, and Daya also said that he could not choose one, because he had died before making a choice.
Sure enough, before the movie disappeared, Da did not find the last movie for the male protagonist.
At the end of the day, Tsutaya's video disc becomes a bookstore, and his friends no longer know him.
Suppose clocks disappear from the world
When the male protagonist and his girlfriend were playing in Argentina, they met Tom, who was traveling around the world, and in him they found that there was a completely different way of life in the world.
When you travel, you will know many harsh realities in the world, but at the same time, you will also find that there are many beautiful things in the world.
Why travel the world, Tom says, because you're fleeing time.
Only human beings tie themselves to the division of life for a second, hanging on the wall, in the room, or even wearing it on their hands.
Seaside Tom shouted "I want to live, live wonderfully", the male protagonist and his girlfriend are very envious of Tom's so free life.
At the end of the journey, they reluctantly bid farewell, and couldn't help but look back and see Tom who had fallen in a car accident.
If I die, will anyone shed tears for me? For the first time, the two faced death, so cruelly.
The clock disappears and the memory is gradually erased.
Suppose the cat disappeared from the world
My mother was seriously ill, and the cat in the family seemed to have been sensed and didn't eat anything.
It was picked up by the male protagonist on a rainy day when he was a child, and shrunk into a cardboard box containing lettuce.
Although the mother is allergic to cats, she sees that her son is very reluctant to look like a kitten, but still agrees to try to raise it and name it lettuce.
Mom hugged the lettuce and said, "Let it sleep, it's hard to finally get out of the sea of suffering, it's very painful, right, I'm sorry, I can't help you with anything." But now it's all right, it won't be painful anymore."
Mother to lettuce, male lead to mother, is the same mood, in the face of death can not help anything desperate.
The lettuce still left in her mother's arms, and the sad sleeping mother heard the call of a kitten in the courtyard in the early morning.
It was found that it was a kitten in a cabbage carton, which was very similar to lettuce, so the cat had the name cabbage.
The cat was quietly found by Dad, pretending to be an abandoned kitten, trying to comfort Mom who had lost her lettuce.
On a makeshift family trip, on a winter beach, my mother recalled that when the male protagonist was born, my father said thank you to him for coming into this world.
It's silly to say something like that to a baby, Mom laughed.
The man was very remorseful, did not send flowers on his mother's birthday, did not say thank you.
Does she have her own life, time to do what she wants to do, to pursue her dreams?
Always put children first, shopping is just buying things for children, never buying anything for themselves.
Mom said to him, "I'm leaving soon, you have to be strong." I don't think it's people who keep cats, it's the cats that come to humans to accompany us. Cabbage, this child please take care of you."
The male protagonist received a letter from his mother, in which his mother wrote down all his advantages, will always stand on his side, will accompany the happiness and sadness of others, and always worry too much for others.
Since his birth, life has become precious and beautiful, and his mother firmly believes that he can always find the right answer through troubles and thoughts.
I hope that he can always maintain these advantages, then he can always find happiness, and he will certainly make the people around him happy.
Back at the beach again, the man expressed his gratitude to the devil, and he let himself see that there are too many beautiful things in this world.
The demon may be another self who does not want to die, and when he finally bravely faces life and death, he can finally calmly accept the time of death.
He won't make cats disappear, nor will he make anything related to love disappear.
The blurry photo taken at the beach in the depths of my memory was taken by my father without focusing under the sad tears.
He is not as calm and indifferent as he appears, he is just not good at words, emotionally introverted, but deep in love, has been doing things silently, concentrating on repairing the watch.
In the end, the male protagonist chose to reconcile with his father and no longer hated his father.
On the last day of his life, the man got up early in the morning to feed the cabbage and wrote a letter to his father.
Say goodbye to your girlfriend and friends seriously, as long as you have a good story and audience, your life is not over.
"If all the cats in this world were to disappear, what would the world be like?" If I suddenly disappear, who in the world will mourn for me? If I were to disappear from the world, I would be left with a bunch of unfulfilled dreams, and things I never had the chance to do would forever be my regrets. But I'm willing to believe that the world with me and without me is not the same, it may be a small difference, but that can also prove my existence, which is the evidence that I have struggled, suffered and lived."
Who do you want to be with you in 2021 and with whom do you want to spend it?
