Japanese movie "Little Forest": minimalist life, extreme pursuit

author:For Tianxia Creek 2021

The herbs are delicious and colorful

There is a genus of Ryota Miike Kuwatake

Strange traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other

Yellow hair hanging down, pleasant self-pleasure

Ask what world it is, but I don't know whether there is a Han, no matter Wei Jin

This is a simple and natural paradise shown to the world by the Eastern Jin Dynasty literary scholar Tao Yuanming.

Feed the horses and chop wood

Only care about grain and vegetables

Facing the sea

Spring

This is a quiet and beautiful paradise depicted by the modern poet Haizi for the world with poetry.

A Japanese movie I watch at home on the weekend, "Little Forest," also depicts a life in such a tranquil, beautiful, pristine and natural paradise.

The film is divided into "Summer and Autumn" and "Winter and Spring". The four seasons are picturesque, fresh and beautiful, it can be described as: beautiful scenery, beauty, food.

Komori, the place where the protagonist lives, is located in a mountain village in northeastern Japan, like a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle, quiet and beautiful.

Here, there are no modern city facilities, no TVs and mobile phones, no internet and entertainment, and not even commercial. Some are just dense forests, clear streams, green fields, brilliant cherry blossoms, white snow, and simple wooden houses.

Here, the forest is silent, the fields are silent, and the mountain villages are silent. It was peaceful and tranquil. But the air is flowing, the river is flowing, and the seasons are flowing. It's full of life.

Nature, which is natural and not carved, is the most beautiful scenery!

The protagonist, Ichiko

A beautiful mountain village girl

Betrayed by her boyfriend

Abandoned by his mother

Life seemed to have abandoned her

But she didn't give up on life

From the mountain village to the city

Return from the city to the mountain village

Living alone in the countryside and mountains

Only cat worms are companions

Made at sunrise

Sunset and rest

Dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits

Planting, harvesting

Chop wood, cook

Well made food

Live hard with your heart

That's it

Three meals a day

Day after day

When the farmers were busy, the city went alone to plant seedlings in the rice fields, one person went to the field to sow seeds, one person sweated in the sun and bent down to pull grass, and one person held a sickle to harvest the crops one by one.

When the farmers are idle, the city also does the manual work that only men do, doing odd jobs and earning pocket money.

The days flowed quietly in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and she grew up alone in a life of changing seasons.

During the humid rainy season, wooden jam spoons are moldy. In order to combat the humidity, in the sweltering summer, Ichiko lights the stove and uses the remaining temperature of the stove to bake the fragrant brown bread.

From the planting in the field to the delicacies on the table, it is inseparable from the hard work and ingenuity of the city. Whenever a meticulously cooked delicacy is served, the city will solemnly and reverently say, "I'm going to move." Such a ritual at the dinner table seems to be a praise and satisfaction for the fruits of one's own hard work, and it is also a gratitude and cherishing of nature's selfless gifts.

4 Minimalist life, the ultimate pursuit

Growing up in a rural mountain village, I know that the hard work and difficulty of working in the field are not only the understatement and exquisite beauty in the movie.

Busy in the bustling city, I also know that there are many helplessness in life. Real life, can not escape, do not want to escape, only want to live a materially simple, spiritually abundant life.
