Kore-eda has been impressed by Hirokazu since "Sea Street Diary", and the stories are always trivial daily routines, but they can bury the simple philosophy of life. Kore-eda's Deeper Than the Sea maintains this style as always. But unlike "Sea Street Diary", four women under the same roof discuss the past and growth. The film's rhythm focuses on a middle-aged man in his fifties, and the theme returns to the previous themes of family and affection.

In the story, Yoshita Shinoda (Abe Hiroshi) is a scruffy middle-aged uncle. He debuted as a writer in his early years, but since his debut, no commendable work has been published. He was full of complaints, self-esteem, and was never willing to create works without a "soul" for money. In real life, I worry about money everywhere, and after getting the money, I throw it into the casino in a flash, and there is no hope at all. The mother Shuko (Kiki Shirin) lives alone in Tuandi, and in the eyes of the old man, even the worst son has incomparable advantages to others. Ryota originally had a happy family, but his ex-wife Naoko Shiraishi (Yoko Maki) could no longer stand his actions, and after the divorce, he took his son Shingo (Yoshizawa Sun) to live another life. After a hard time meeting with his son, many fathers and sons and the subsequent arrival of Xiangzi are reunited at Shuzi's house. When the typhoon struck, they were forced to stay at their grandmother's house, which was full of memories of the past. In the noisy but calm night, some things quietly change...

People always like to ask about their children's dreams, and many are no exception, but what they get is the son's rhetorical question.
"Dad, do you have one?"
"Daddy's dream... Not yet
"Well... It's just not implemented yet
When we grow up, we often find that none of these childhood dreams can be realized. There are many in the movie, which is exactly the case, but the difference is that he has not given up, even if the family is broken and life is tight, he has not given up his dream of becoming a writer.
Not everyone can become the superhero of their ideals, the people in the spotlight, the reason why they are looked up to by everyone is because they are one of the few. Most of us will not be able to achieve anything in the end, can not grow into the ideal adult, have not achieved commendable achievements, but life must go on, this is the pain of life, but it is also the place where people are motivated.
Whenever we are punched by the combination of life' nose and blue face, we always can't help but ask "Where is the abnormality, my life?" This thing in life is sometimes "not having achieved a big dream, not achieving ideal success, not even loving someone deeper than the sea, but we will only meet this time."
It was Kore-eda who used a loser routine like this, coming back to the warmest subtraction.
The trajectory of life, even if it is a small mistake, a little flaw, the story will always be very different. Deviating from the ideal of youth, people should concentrate on experiencing the pain and pain, love and laughter brought by life. Happiness is not enjoyment, but the fulfillment of the journey of pursuit, plain, dressed and eaten.
Because of this, many mothers said, "Making friends is only an increase in the number of people who attend the funeral." It can't help but feel very strongly; but it makes sense. Life is water, at first it is plain, but those seasoned emotions, even if they contain sour, sweet and bitter, also make this bowl of water more and more thick and more flavorful.

What is marriage?
Marriage is not a watercolor painting, it is an oil painting, it is a layer of paint piled up. You think the previous colors are gone, but they're just covered, and their traces are still there. Many try to play a good father in a meeting with his son Shingo in January, and he tries to save his broken family in this way, but time can't hide the deep rift.
Therefore, this film cleverly adds "son in the eyes of the father" to the "parents in the eyes of the son" to express the root of the rift.
When grandma looked at her grandson and praised him for having the same talent for writing as his father, the grandson categorically said that he did not want to be like his father. Many people also think that they will not become fathers since childhood. But in reality, many people hold their father's millstone, and their sons hold their own lottery tickets, and unconsciously, the two sons have already been engraved with their father's brand, and the transmission of life is so wonderful.
At the end of the story, the three families of three, which have long been torn apart, appear one by one, and return to their mother's home through a typhoon, as if the confidence and direction of life are pinned on the small home.
But time moves easily, the situation moves with things, and finally many understand that everything cannot go back. Just like a son in "A Hundred Dollars of Love", even if no one cares about your life of one hundred yuan, you still want to win once, but you still need to continue tomorrow after losing.
After the typhoon, many families still went their own way, perhaps around the corner, waiting for them is another tree to bloom, but who knows.
