Previously, "Thief Family" was released in China.
It is Kore-eda's warm and cruel side of the lens, the Shibata family, which makes a living by stealing, is engraved in the memory of many people.
However, the Japanese family that most makes some fans miss is still the following big son.
A series of feature films directed by Yoji Yamada, which has just recently released the resources of the third part -
"Family Suffering 3: May The Wife Be Like a Rose"
The first two small ten jun have Amway, and those who have not yet watched it have lost.
It is a representative work of family comedy in recent years, and Huang Lei immediately moved his mind to remake after watching it.
As a result, the Chinese version of "Trouble Family" that he directed last year had a Douban score of 4.5, which was more funny than the movie.
The original "Family Suffering", which is produced once a year, is stable at more than 8 points, including this new work.
Continuous output can also maintain a super high reputation without collapsing, and Director Yamada is indeed the best master in Japan.
Therefore, some people directly treat it as a TV series in pursuit:
"Keep shooting, director, I want to see 100!"
Xiao Shijun is not greedy, seeing 10 films is almost the same, after all, the director and several old actors are old, really watch a less than a series.
But there are also people who start shouting to stop after watching the third part:
"It's still fun, but it's really time for the series to end."
So divided, what's going on?
Admittedly, the old terrier repeats.
In the movie, the crane bottle of Xiaofuting who makes a cameo appearance in various forms, the eel rice bowl that the family finally eats, the rookie policeman who has not seen growth for three years...
Both have become the comedy symbols that are inevitable in the series.
Crane Bottle Sang has simply become a character like Stan Lee in "Family Suffering"
Under the recycling, there is no laughing fruit, more like a kind of emotional punch card, pure to see whether the audience can buy it or not.
Fortunately, the master's ingenious playwriting method makes the routine of the whole story tireless, and it is also the charm of its popularity.
Adhering to the principle of "one person has difficulties, the whole family goes out", the Hirata family, no matter who encounters trouble, will always get together neatly to hold family meetings.
Old-fashioned, but useful.
The first part resolves the crisis of marriage change between his parents, Shuzo Hirata and Tomiko, who are nearly 100 years old.
In the second part, the driver's license of Zhou Zao, an elderly veteran driver, was successfully confiscated.
The third part is no exception.
It was the turn of the sister-in-law Shi Zhi, who had always been rebellious, to collapse and leave home, causing them to fall into a new round of trouble.
The cause is this:
After the divorce crisis, Zhou Zao's grandfather retracted his usual willfulness, and Grandma Fuzi was still intoxicated with the literary and artistic life of the elderly.
The old couple enjoyed the peace of day, and the family responsibility continued to fall on the eldest son, Konosuke, and the daughter-in-law Shi Zhi.
Like all traditional Japanese couples, Konosuke is exhausted outside, and Shi Zhi serves his in-laws and takes care of his two adolescent sons.
It should have been a "reasonable" social division of labor law that should be a combination of men and women and not tired of work.
All kinds of details show that Shi Zhi, as a full-time housewife, has undoubtedly the lowest family status.
To have a little more household use, depend on:
So much so that the eldest son directly asked questions, other classmates are fathers looking for mothers to ask for pocket money, why is our family the opposite?
He wanted to re-jump Flamingo, but he was laughed at by his husband.
Wearing a red dress and blooming like a rose on the stage, becoming the "daydream" of this humble housewife:
The camera switching of this segment is wonderful
There is no money, no freedom, no self, worrying about the family for decades, but may not be able to exchange the respect and gratitude of the family.
If the effort of a full-time housewife to take care of her family and run the family is converted into a return, how much should it be?
Yanagi Chuanfanzhi, an economics professor at the University of Tokyo, converted the daily labor work of Japanese housewives to the price of the Japanese labor market and concluded that the annual value of a Japanese housewife is about 7.2 million yen, or 420,000 yuan. (Source "Wu Xiaobo Channel")
It can't be converted equally, so forget it. When the housewife is miserable, the husband is still a superb straight male cancer.
Because Shi Zhi accidentally fell asleep, which led to the theft of the home, she was horrified to witness everything, but she only dared to call her brother-in-law for help.
After Konosuke returned, he did not show any comfort, and after careful interrogation, what he lost was actually a private money hidden by Shi Zhi himself, which was even more angry.
What the? How dare you hide your money behind my back!
What the? I work hard outside, but you give me a leisurely sleep at home!
Seeing that Xiao Shijun very much wanted to give this old brother a song "What a Man".
Shi Zhi begged konosuke's forgiveness, but was completely defeated by his words:
"You're going to make money!"
It is true that the words on the head of the anger are correct, but they also expose the contempt that cannot be hidden in the heart, and completely negate the value of Shi Zhi's existence as a housewife.
So the desperate housewife chose to run away from home...
The subtitle of this film is "May the Wife Be Like a Rose", which is a tribute to the film of the same name by the great director Akio Naruse.
Director Yoji Yamada this time focused the story on Shi Zhi, intending to make the third part a "housewife hymn".
At a time when feminist themes are sweeping the world, he can also be regarded as "following" the wind by the way.
However, the solution to the problem in the story does not satisfy us.
It is clear that the traditional values of the director have not kept up with the times.
After the hostess Shi Zhi was absent from the daily life of the Hirata family, everything lost its original order in an instant.
The other siblings heard the news and held an emergency family meeting to force Yukinosuke to find Shi Zhi... The process is omitted here and is impenetrable.
According to the comedy trend of the series, you can roughly guess the ending, naturally the couple reconciled, and Shi Zhi returned to the big family.
Here's the problem.
Shi Zhi wanted to go out to work, wanted to continue to dance Flamenco, after she left home, did not practice immediately, and when she returned home, there was no follow-up.
The so-called "housewife praise" is only reflected in the husband who has learned the lesson and finally realized the wife's difficulty and dedication.
It is only reflected in the use of a few lines to fight against the labor value of the host woman.
The 87-year-old Yamada is probably still unable to understand the independence pursued by women in the new era, which is complete spiritual independence from the shackles of marriage and family life.
In the film, Shi Zhi returned to the "banality" of the past for the sake of his son and family, seemingly unchanged, which they did not understand and feared.
This is also why more and more people now choose to be single, for reasons that are not gender-specific.
In the era of paying attention to individuality, it has become more and more difficult to be willing to sacrifice for the family and give everything.
From another point of view, "Family Suffering" always has to shoot a rare "family bondage".
Konosuke will be angry and upset because of his sister's persuasion.
But it is not a family, who will immediately put down their work and get together to discuss what to do for the sake of the broken things you have made?
Shi Zhi's choice is also because she is used to it, accustomed to the role she plays in the family, and it will be difficult to let go of this responsibility for a while and a half.
In this big family, everyone has their own temperament, everyone has their own faults.
In the process of getting along, they will have contradictions, quarrels, and even accusations against each other.
But they also support each other, need each other, and the more they quarrel, the more loving they are.
If it weren't for this quarrel, the sons might never have known that there was a romantic love story between their parents.
Konosuke doesn't realize that he has a deep attachment to his wife.
In the same way, the Shibata family in "Thief Family" is actually not related by blood, but it is closer than the real family.
Because the bond between them, deep enough.
Family bondage may be the emotional kidnapping of us by life, and vice versa, it can also be used as an indispensable emotional need.
Sometimes, the "bitterness" of the family will always bring some sweetness after taste.
