With Hisaishi making it easy and cheerful, and seemingly with a hint of cool music, the beginning of the movie "Kikujiro's Summer" is very calm, calm and somewhat depressed: a little boy goes to school every day, eats alone, he has a grandmother, capable and kind, and Masao is sensible and obedient, the life of the grandson is simple, the life is followed by rules, the family is orderly, so I am relieved, although the boy is lonely, he is also carefree, he has an elegant and capable grandmother.
However, the boy was not happy, his face had a mature and calm like an adult, and he had always had a heart matter. Finally one day he asked his grandmother if he didn't have a father and mother, and her grandmother comforted him and said: You can't say that, your father died in an accident when you were very young, and your mother worked far away, also for you.
One day, he saw in his grandmother's drawer holding him and a picture of a young woman, and an address, who was that woman who was not her mother? So, Masao took this address and his little pocket money and set off.
As soon as I went out, I was asked for money by a few small, and I happened to be met by an old neighbor of the man's house, an aunt, who drove away a few small with his seemingly unreliable husband.
The aunt decided to help Masao fulfill his wish, so that summer, the uncle, who looked like a big boy, took Masao, the little boy, on a journey.
Many stories happen along the way between the unreliable uncle and the obedient boy:
The project funds given by the neighbor's aunt were almost lost by the big boy uncle before they were on the road, but the big boy uncle didn't care, saying that even if he didn't have money, he would complete the man's wish.
Along the way, the big boy and the little boy and the people they met had many stories that were either ridiculous or slightly suspenseful.
……
In fact, this is a journey to find childhood, to find maternal love, but also a story about growing up.
The two went through many twists and turns and hardships to finally find their mother's address. Zheng Man was full of joy and looked forward to this meeting, but the courtyard full of green plants walked out of a family of three, the hostess and the father and daughter who were going to go out waved goodbye, the family was happy and warm, what a harmonious family!
Masao suddenly felt lost, and the woman who looked very similar to the picture in his grandmother's drawer was so far away from him, as if she had nothing to do with him. He had seen her countless times in his dreams, sweet and warm. Along the way, he imagined meeting his mother many times, and her mother caressed him as kindly as the mother of someone else's child. The uncle also imagined that his mother would stay with masamune for one night, and he and his mother would become friends. But at this moment, this woman was elegant and beautiful, very strange, how could she be his mother?
Masao cried sadly, and his uncle comforted him and said that maybe this address was not right, maybe Masao's mother had moved, but he didn't know that even if he only looked at it, Masao would remember his mother's appearance in the photo.
The sad man is depressed and shrugged. Therefore, this man gambled and lost money on the way to come, caused trouble, like the uncle of a boy who had not yet grown up, and on the way back, he did everything in his power to make masamune happy and became a warm and lovely man.
On the way back, the uncle seemed to be a comedian, he and the young people he met on the road sat in various games, and slowly, Masao became happy, the mother who only existed in his memory and imagination became less important, and the few men who were once strangers in front of him made him feel kind.
It was a sad and joyful summer, Masao experienced a trip he would never forget in his life, the mother who only existed in one photo, never gave him love will never make him miss and pity like before, he will grow up slowly. ......
When we finally got home, my uncle and the boy were going to break up and go back to their respective homes.
"Let's separate here",
Uncle said.
Masao lowered his head sadly, and his uncle hurriedly said:
"Let's go find your mother next time"!
But masao looked up, and he couldn't see a trace of sadness, only the touch of his uncle:
"Thank you, uncle"
"What's your name?"
"Kikujiro, fuck, get out!"
This is the movie "Kikujiro's Summer", a man who, like Masao, was once abandoned by his mother and had an unforgettable trip with Masao.
This is a journey of love, and this journey has important significance for the life of a man...
