Synopsis:
Matsuko Kawajiri, a former middle school teacher, was dismissed from her job after a theft committed by her student Ryu Hiroichi, and then broke up with her family and disappeared from her hometown, and her tragic life of depravity began.
She met six men: Tetsuya Yatsuno Kawa, who thought she was the reincarnation of Osamu Dazai and wanted to eat on literature but didn't produce anything; Keno Okano, a friend of Hachiogawa's friend and jealous of him; Keno Okano, the agent of Matsuko's custom shop and clumsy Akagi; Matsuko's regular customer, her later agent and bodyguard, the hedonistic man Onoderaho; kenji Shimazu, an ordinary man who ran a barber shop; and Ryūyoichi, a man who met again and didn't know how to love.
Matsuko, played by Miki Nakatani, is an extremely loveless child, and his father gives all his love to his frail and sick sister, which makes Matsuko develop a character of seeking perfection.
She has experienced many misfortunes in her life, making people feel that "my life is going to be finished" again and again, but she is continued to survive by the instinct of "hope".
Matsuko's tragic life, every time Heya Jun looked at it, he felt that fate was really unfair, so cruel to a woman, and this woman was so kind, so pure and beautiful at heart.
Many people may think that Matsuko is dead-headed and does not know how to be flexible, but don't forget that she is an honor student who graduated from a prestigious university, and her hair cutting skills are also first-class, and she can be completely independent.
Many people, including JunBuya, may not recognize Matsuko's values and worldview, but there are also many people who are crazy about love, which is not wrong.
Matsuko is not stupid, all her choices are the life she wants, not the trick of fate.
Due to the lack of family affection since childhood, Matsuko is more eager to be loved, and she just wants to firmly grasp and fight for her own good life.
Matsuko feels happy for every feeling and has paid 100% of her energy, but some people are pampered and proud, think that Matsuko is deceitful, and play with her feelings; and some people think that Matsuko is too beautiful to let such people like.
Pine nuts are like a virgin being, who has experienced all kinds of tribulations herself, but does not show her suffering, but gives people a radiance.
Pine nuts, who are stumbling between hope and despair, after being hurt again and again, finally completely despair of reality, which is really particularly painful.
The director of this film is Tetsuya Nakajima, who was born in the advertisement, his lens is very aesthetic impactful, the representative work is also "Confession", and the cold color of "Confession" is completely different, "The Life of the Abandoned Pine Nut" as a comedy, Nakajima Tetsuya mainly uses bright and brilliant colors, as well as exaggerated action expression design and song and dance clips, using comedy expression techniques to tell a tragic story of a woman.
At the end, when everyone sang a song, Budiya Jun burst into tears, and Matsuko's life was a tragic life, a life of failure, but also a life of hard work.
