Starry | "My Neighbor Yamada Jun": Real Life, Trivial Happiness

Originally, the animated movie "My Neighbor Yamada Jun" was pulled out of the Douban high-scoring movie and specially shown to children, but when I watched it, I found it unexpectedly good.

The film is based on the ishii Shouichi four-frame manga, which tells the story of the daily life of the ordinary Yamada family, produced by Studio Ghibli and directed by Takahata Hoshi. At first glance, it is not amazing, because the hand-drawn sense is very strong, the painting style is extremely simple, and the color of the color lead drawing is also light, but once it enters the plot, it feels that such a bland performance method is more in line with the characteristics of the plain content, and the two complement each other.

The Yamada family living in Yamano City is just an ordinary working-class family, the father is a stereotypical personality, mediocre ability of the small clerk, often with the mother-in-law, quarreling with the wife, to the son to tell some empty big truths; the mother is a lazy and confused full-time housewife, the housework is sloppy, cooking is also very bad; the grandmother is a strange, bold old lady, nearly ancient but energetic; the son is a mediocre middle school student, busy studying and falling in love, but unfortunately nothing good, She is good at directing the anger of the whole family to herself; the daughter is a small schoolboy who lives in this family and is often completely ignored by her family.

The five members of the same hall of three generations show their unique and distinctive personalities and various situations in life through one interesting little paragraph after another. For example, the family went to a supermarket to lose their little daughter's false alarm; parents developed a game of "you block me from shooting" because of the channel dispute when watching TV; the father carefully taught his son to play ball, and the result was to smash the neighbor's doors and windows; the grandmother would scare the father so much that she could not lift her head, and she would also bravely put an arrogant young man and rescue the intimidated father...

The details of life in the film are accurately captured, the character dialogue is also very concise, and each small chapter has a short and gentle haiku ending, which adds poetic charm. There is also a piece of good music, brisk and cheerful with the imagination scene of the brain hole, which can be described as unique and interesting.

From a bunch of trivial and funny little things, it reflects a big philosophy of personal life, lays the foundation for strong family affection, and makes the audience feel warm, kind and decompressed. See, the so-called family is not so perfect, there are difficulties, loneliness and sadness in the family relationship is normal, but as long as there is hope and love in our hearts, we can still find fun and live with relish.

Finally, I gave my father's speech at the wedding to you: "The most important thing in life is to be open, no matter how bad the other party's behavior is, as long as there is no malice, you can tolerate everything, no, it should be that you can't live without tolerance." This is the key to running a happy family, but also the key to optimistically facing life and breaking through difficulties. ”
