"Forever Excuse" is a story that belongs to men, but also a piece of enlightenment that belongs to life, the film obviously has enough turbulent stories, but under the narrative of director Nishikawa Miwa and steady peace, with a different kind of calm, let people really enter a heart that longs for redemption, see the transformation of a scumbag's mental journey, and the true feelings formed by this are enough to give people a touch of healing the heart.
The film begins with a middle-aged novelist Yukio, in the opening paragraph of a particularly simple haircut scene, a few of the most ordinary words, but has let the audience see that the husband after fame and the former married wife have no little affection to speak of, such a husband and wife relationship has actually gone to a strange road, and the film uses a sudden life and death parting, in exchange for not the husband's pain and pain, on the contrary, as a well-known novelist, the husband is concerned about his own reputation, thinking about continuing to linger with his lover, Such a scumbag even ended up even his lover being ashamed of his behavior, it can be said that the male protagonist at this time has long forgotten what is the ability to love.
In the face of life after losing his wife, the haze of loneliness and the exhausted creative power finally completely enveloped this former vain novelist, and in order to atone for his sins or to find inspiration, Yukio walked into the family of her husband Omiya, who died in a car accident and his two children, at this time the film began to return to a warm illusion, and it seems that they have been healed, but in fact, how can the pain of losing relatives be so easily released? A very clever point of the film is that everyone after this tragedy has a very delicate character shaping and control, and the emotions brewed by this make this story enter the audience's heart.
Whether it is the death of his wife or the life of the Omiya family since their happiness was broken, it is actually another key point in the movie, which is that Yukio sees the last unsent message in his wife's mobile phone: "I don't love you anymore, not at all." The whole emotion of the film is exploded at this moment, the vanity that once regarded his wife as a foil is completely broken at this moment, and with the departure of his wife, Yukio, who has gradually awakened his love for his wife, feels the pain of the cone at this moment.
After this emotional outburst, what the film leaves the audience with is not a cold despair, the various intersections between the Omiya family and Yukio make people return to the growth and relief that everyone will inevitably experience after facing the pain of life and death, and the film also passes through the pen that Yukio picked up again, that sentence: "Life, is others." The realization became the most tearful place of the movie, and what "Eternal Excuse" finally ended up with was not a mockery of a scumbag, but a timeless love.
Jobs once said, "Don't live for others." But each of us will not have a share of life" life, "life is others." "The bondage? As a female director, Miwa Nishikawa uses the redemption of a vain scumbag to interpret this most neglected but most precious way of life.
