During the Spring Festival, I watched an old movie, "Kamakura Monogatari", which is a film recommended by my girlfriend before, very warm and healing, I thought while watching, how does the director use photography to make the film warm and romantic on the one hand, but also tense and suspenseful, making people have a comfortable feeling?
After watching it carefully, I found that both in aesthetics and plot movies have very desirable points.
The small beauty of Japan conquered me again.
The story of the film is not complicated, Kamakura is a comfortable and comfortable place, and this tone of life makes the film full of Japanese sunshine.
The golden ratio and greenish tones make the film tainted with a beautiful, pleasant mood.
More than ten years apart, the writer Ichise Masakazu and his new wife, Akiko, return to her hometown of Kamakura, a place full of magical ghosts, and Akiko often sees some small monsters running around, and she is timid and kind at first, she is very afraid and unwilling to accept.
Later, he inadvertently entered the ghost city and met the amiable neighbor's aunt, who had been dead for more than a year, and because of the memory of the paralyzed husband, he applied to the Ghost Bureau to temporarily stay in the human world with his flesh and blood body.
Akiko slowly accepts kamakura and lives in harmony with each other, and gains a tattered bowl for helping the poor god.
However, one day, he was inadvertently tripped by the red ghost, lost his body, and lived only with the spirit body and her husband for some time, which made the writer's life expectancy decrease day by day, and Akiko, who loved her husband deeply, said goodbye to her husband and went to Huangquan.
However, Masakazu Ichisei found his wife's flesh through his friends at the police station, and in order to recover his wife, he bravely ate the grimace matsutake mushrooms, came to Huangquan, and robbed Yakiko's soul with the Tenju Ghost in another world, and finally successfully brought back Yakiko through imagination.
The story of the search for Huang Quan's wife has always been in all countries, but there is no good result, and it is generally believed that the dead are inconvenient to bother again, so let them rest in peace, but this film does the opposite, using various small knots to make the logic smooth and also make the film have a beautiful texture.
Between the green mountains and green waters, I want to hold your hand and walk across this bridge, the bridge is green leaves and red flowers, under the bridge is the flowing water people, the end of the bridge is green silk, and the end of the bridge is white hair.
All the little pieces are details, and the details are strung together with logic
There are no surprise conflicts in the movie, and the small fragments of daily life string together the entire story line.
The writer's work is tense and happy, because Ichise likes antiques and trains, collects small models full of warehouses, so in the finale, he can try his best to imagine a train that takes him away from Yellow Springs to reality.
And when his work was not going well, the poor god came to his house, and the arrival of the poor god had three effects on the story:
It shows that Akiko has been integrated into the place of Kamakura, she believes in gods and ghosts, from the initial fear to acceptance to welcome, even if it is a poor god who is avoided by the world, she is also a god worthy of respect in her eyes.
2. She is very kind, and has always smiled at the poor god, even if her husband hates this god very much, she still has a good meal and good food.
3. She already likes antiques, which is evident from her fondness for gadgets in the ghost market, so the broken bowl of the poor god was also exchanged by her for a good bowl, and this bowl finally brought them home at the end of the movie.
4. She said that she would eat with this bowl, and this bowl brought them back to reality and was broken, glued to one color, and made a rice bowl to show gratitude and remembrance for the help of the poor god.
The first time Ichisei and Akiko got into a conflict, it was because he didn't want to tell her about his family affairs, and he told him about his mother's cheating, and he fell out of the manuscript of the writer of his mother's cheating at home, which played a key role in the story, he hinted at the reason for Yakiko's out-of-body experience, and also told how to reach Huangquan.
In fact, the mother did not cheat, but lived a double life with her father, who dressed as another person, which is a story that was reversed until Huangquan, which is wonderful and surprising.
The old housekeeper of the story, Aunt Jin, did not point out the source, she was probably a goblin arranged by her father to take care of her son, and she knew her father's address in Huangquan.
Ichisei is good at studying crime, and often assists the Kamakura police who have walked into a dead end in the investigation of cases. Because of the demons and ghosts involved, Kamakura's case could not be solved by ordinary means. The Ichise teacher, who is proficient in psychic search, became a detective. One day, the police asked a teacher to investigate the murder of monopoly. That case didn't seem like a human could have committed.
Later, it was a police friend who helped Ichisei find Akiko's body.
There are also a lot of small details that seem to have nothing to do with the main line, but each point is connected to the whole story, making it not obtrusive, very smooth, and the causal relationship is close.
The details of Japanese movies are always handled so beautifully, on the one hand, they are embellished along the road with small stories of the healing department, and on the other hand, these small details are the key points that the main line cannot be reversed.
I like this movie very much, there is imagination, there is the beauty between husband and wife, there are also people who are reluctant after they die, and there is friendship between people.
