Today I bring you a Japanese movie "Kikujiro's Summer".
Kikujiro's Summer is a film directed by Japanese director Takeshi Kitano and starring Kashiko Kishimoto, Kazuko Yoshiyuki, Noriko Hosokawa, Yuko Yuko, and Mochi'er. Yusuke Sekiguchi plays Masao, a elementary school student, and the recurring theme music "Summer" in the film was composed by Hisaishi Jean and served as the music director. The story tells the story of Takeda (Kikujiro) uncle who takes Masao to visit his mother in toyohashi Town, Aichi Prefecture, on the occasion of summer vacation. There were many stories along the way, and there were many twists and turns, but when he arrived at masao's mother's residence and saw that she had remarried and had a new family, Masao's psychology was extremely sad, and Kikujiro tried all kinds of ways to comfort the sad child on the way back, giving Masao spiritual and emotional comfort.
The soundtrack of this movie is beautiful, the piano and the violin echo, one singing and one harmony, and the beautiful notes seem to flow in the heart. Adding a lot of color to the film, there is no doubt that the success of this film and the film music are inseparable.
Masao looked at the photos in the house and remembered his father and mother. His father had long since died, so he packed up his school bag and took a picture of his mother and went to Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, to find his mother. The theme music of the movie on the back of his running out of the house sounded again, the beautiful melody of the piano, the figure of the man gradually drifting away as if he were no longer a child, and his galloping steps and the rhythm of the piano music made the whole picture more rhythmic. On the way, he met a group of children who robbed him of his money and surrounded him, but fortunately, Uncle Takeda and aunt came to relieve him. Takeda's wife asks him to take Masao to his mother, and Uncle Takeda gambles with the money his wife gave him on the way to send Masao to his mother, and all the money is lost. He also wanted the 2,000 yen on Masao to buy a bicycle race lottery. He asked Masao what number to buy? Masao said No. 6 and No. 3. Unexpectedly, I won 17,660 yen. The next day they went to buy a racing car lottery, this time the design of the plot did not directly win the lottery, because they have capital, how to consume some, bet several times did not win, always on the edge of winning the lottery, let people feel excited, thinking about whether this time in the end, this time can not be won, the audience also has a psychological expectation. The uncle gave encouragement to Masao again, hoping that he would be able to guess again and win the jackpot. As a result, they lost all the money again.
Uncle Takeda took Masao to find his mother to get a taxi, the design of the plot is very interesting, the taxi driver went to the toilet halfway, the uncle saw that the drip fee was very expensive, he did not know how to drive, and he would drive the taxi away, as if a drunken person drove the car, and when the driver came out of the toilet, helplessly watching his own car being driven away. The design of the scenes here is still quite interesting. 
Masao and Uncle Takeda took the car of the kind young couple to the city where their mother was, the young couple gave them a ride, when they got off the car and left, the lens language had its own unique features in the expression of parting, ming dangling like a mirror-like wheel reflected the figures of two people, the car slowly started, the figures of the two people rotated with the rotation of the wheel, and then there was a shot of the car gradually drifting away, which had a deep meaning and made people feel meaningful. Masao and Uncle Takeda tried many ways to hitchhike on the side of the road, but they did not succeed, so the two decided to walk and walked for a long distance. They thought of a way to put the nail in the middle of the road, thinking that someone had pressed the tire burst, they went to help, and then they could take them for a ride, they sat on the side of the road quietly waiting and waiting, and a car did not press, so they adjusted the nail again, and sure enough, a car drove over and pressed the nail to burst the tire, could not grasp the direction, fell into the field on the side of the road, and the two people saw the situation and ran away. There were several hitchhiking rides on the road.
When they arrived at the place where zhengnan's mother lived, but saw that her mother remarried and lived a happy life with a family of three with other men, his mother went out to send her current husband and children, zhengnan saw this scene from a distance, and his heart was very sad, he quickly turned around and turned his head away, tears could not help but gush out of his eyes, along the way there were sad and sad tears in his eyes, and his heart could not be calm for a long time. At this time, the sound of film music has played a role in setting off and deepening emotions. The fading figure of Uncle Takeda when he leaves with Masao and the melody of the piano in the movie music are more meaningful.
Takeda went to the nursing home to see his mother, the movie music sounded, when he looked at his silver-haired mother through the window, the emotions contained in his eyes were hidden in his heart, and it also made people feel meaningful, and this emotion for his mother spread in his heart. At this moment, he just wanted to be alone and quiet for a while.
The last scene where Masao and Takeda (Kikujiro) separate the language of the scene watching the child run across a bridge and drift away, a boat under the bridge sails by, which makes a deep impression, and the film music makes people feel that it has infinite "poetic feelings." The parting is also full of deep emotions and reluctance, that is, at the moment of parting, Masao knows that the uncle who accompanies him all the way is called: "Kikujiro." Therefore, the whole movie is still about how Kikujiro accompanies the child to see his mother and the name of the movie is in line with the name of the movie, and when he goes to find Zheng Nan's mother and returns, he uses a lot of scenes to express his care and love for the child all the way, sometimes even simple and rude, but the man is in the eyes. His love for the right man gives birth to infinite warmth to the child's lonely soul, and also brings infinite warmth to the audience's heart. Although the film is over, the beautiful melody of the film music seems to still echo in the ears... It's evocative.
