Aoi Yu
Today's introduction is a Japanese film, released in 2020, called "I, Go My Own Way." "Starring Hiroko Tanaka, a veteran Japanese actor, and young actors Yu Aoi and Masadai Higashiide.
The film is mainly about the protagonist Momoko (Hiroko Tanaka playing the elderly, Aoi Yu playing the youth) in order to escape the arranged marriage of her parents came to Tokyo, independent avant-garde personality, let Momoko according to her own wishes to find a satisfactory husband and gave birth to a lovely child, Peaches dedicated the first half of her life to her family, although rebellious, opposed to arranged marriage, but Momoko still yearns to return to the family, smoothly through each day. It was only with the passage of time that the husband left him early, and the children were running for their own affairs, and only Peach was alone in the empty room. Even so, Peaches still cleans her house in good order every day, and the most time of the day is when Peach talks to herself.
This is a semi-memoir-like film, and director Shuichi Okita uses a mixture of reality and memory to show a woman's life.

One of the clips in the film that moved me the most. The young peach is timid and afraid of the insects, and the husband wants to scare the peach after catching the insects, and the peaches are scared to run around the table, and the laughter and play of the young couple are envied. And into the ten thousand years of peaches, when you see the bugs again, pick up the shoes and smash them the ground, there is no fun, no one to accompany, only to clean the room day after day, more sad than sad, probably unaccompanied.
In my opinion, this is a very ironic film. The protagonist, Momoko, came to Tokyo alone to rebel against the feudal spirit of her parents, but in her bones she is a dependent family. Although the main thrust of the whole text is to reflect the free, undesirable life of an elderly man living alone. But the deeper implication is that people will eventually be bound by something.
The protagonist of the film is a woman, for women, want to pursue independence and freedom, in today's society is still a relatively difficult thing, what you want to get, you have to give up. We listen to the phrase "man is a social animal" all the time, and how many people want to live their lives in style but succumb to fate. The heroine Peach is such a true portrayal, the whole film has almost no musical rendering, but everywhere reflects sadness, although there are many humorous passages in the film, but it only sets off the image of Peach's old and lonely.
In addition to the content of the film is worth watching, the 66-year-old old drama bone Yuko Tanaka once again starred in the film, as a fairy-like actress in the Japanese showbiz, in the film she vividly reflected the helplessness and self-comfort of the protagonist's empty nest old man.
The young Momoko, played by the Japanese actress Yu Aoi, who is popular with the Japanese people, vividly expresses the spirit of rebellion and the pursuit of freedom, and her acting skills are excellent.
This is a film worth savoring in the afternoon or evening, and I highly recommend it.
I am him Dayi, a Japanese drama fan who loves to watch Japanese dramas, please look forward to my next Amway!
