For this kind of slow-paced family literary and artistic film, it is often necessary to calm down and watch. Before watching "One One", I couldn't stick to half of it, and this movie was also watched twice. Grandma is really a great philosopher, warm and gentle and understands a lot of truths, teaching the male protagonist to record his own small feelings and let him use them when writing novels.
But he unconsciously substituted into this family, I think the male owner is really ignorant, outside the boss bullying, but fortunately there is a cute little colleague, inside has been the grandmother in the tolerance of him, encourage him, the grandmother may end in the small apartment, the son will come back to steal things to sell.
This is also the current situation of many families, the son still achieves nothing in middle age, but he is still willful in his mother, and the mother also blindly tolerates and loves. Compared with the healing tablets, I feel that this is a depressive tablet, and occasionally there will be a little happiness crashing into life, just like a little sunshine in the cold winter, although it can bring a little warmth, but it is actually cold.
Mom and son eat homemade tasteless ice cream The son rushes to the expired coffee in the rental house and writes "Why is my life like this?" on a post-it note, a helpless thought. The whole film does not feel as healing as others say, but feels very depressed. I don't understand that for some people, healing is watching others helplessly live in a pile of chicken and dog pieces?
There is no expectation of winning the lottery at the end, remarrying, buying a big villa, but this is really real life. There is a little hope in the ordinary, and there is a hint of fantasy in the ordinary. I think in reality, there should be no pity for people like the male protagonist, who do not strive to change the status quo of his wife and children, but only hope that his wife will turn back on her own.
There is no change in action, not even a vision, why look back. The male protagonist thinks that his mother's bathtub is small, only knows to complain, but does not want to change one for his mother. An ass smashed the glass and slapped his ass and left without fixing it for his mother. Typhoon day is coming, don't worry about your mother "The so-called happiness is something that you have to give up to get."
The 90-minute daily narrative is used to enter their lives, which feels a bit uncomfortable; but the last 30 minutes make you shocked and tearful, and found that it seems as if you suddenly looked at them so softly, and took a look at your own life, which is a very experiential movie-going experience. Their hearts, our hearts, the people in this world are so similar, ah, so is life.
This film is different from Kore-eda and other films, and every time I watch it, I feel better, especially when it comes to editing and directing the actors. After seeing the fourth and fifth times, and making the pull-and-pull notes, I felt more and more that it was perfect in many details.
It seems to be writing about family, but in fact, it is written about the real sophistication, so it is humorous. It is free from the exposed clichés of warmth or misery that are difficult to break in Japanese movies. In the past, he often created group portraits to contrast between the characters, which is actually easy to please; but in this movie, the focus is more direct and subtle, and the emotional incision is smaller, but it reaches deeper.
There is a growing belief that movies and people have magnetic fields. A few years ago, I tried to see Kore-eda, but I couldn't see it, but recently I can slowly see it. His films seem to be not suitable for watching when they are full of ambition, but they are like a placebo when they are frustrated, which will make people involuntarily believe in the power of slowness and then calm down.
It is Kore-eda who always gives me this feeling in movies, that is, when I am depressed to the point of feeling that I can't do it, after watching the movie, there will be a voice in my heart that says in the tone of Abe Hiroshi's hanging child Lang Dang that maybe there is nothing to lose in living for another day.
"Deeper Than the Sea" always evokes the kind of kinship that is rooted in the blood of Asians, even if you have a family that is terrible. And always being able to create a character who is useless but always feels a little vain hope. It's like looking for a lost lottery ticket in the park at night when a typhoon hits.
The male protagonist loves his ex-wife so persistently, and the ex-wife mentioned that the male protagonist also has light in his eyes, so he envies such love. But even so, because the male protagonist is good at gambling, it is still broken after all. I prefer to believe that the male protagonist at the end has awakened. Although if I were her, I would still not forgive the male protagonist.
Most of life is bland, and being able to shoot bland subjects and materials with taste and even endless memories requires a lot of wisdom. Those scattered feelings, unfinished dreams, bad adults, those ordinary warmth, deep pride, and the courage to let go, good and bad are all life. It is also a story with a soothing rhythm, a witty twist in helplessness, and a warm feeling in regret.
Reconciliation makes life simpler. Reconcile with your family, change your role as a father as a son, and keep your deep love unchanged. Reconciled with the ex, the two were frank and unbroken, and the blessings were undiminished. Time will be put into practice before reconciling with one's past self and determining reality and illusion. What is let go is attachment, not thought. It is the knot that is unraveled, not the complex. Farewell is to the undead, not to destruction. The sea still rises and falls, what is deeper than the sea? Life is inherently simple.
Watching Kore-eda's movie is really a portrayal of the life that flows for a long time. There seems to be no ups and downs, and some are the trivial things of life and the troubles of life, old age, illness and death that are destined to never be solved. The most interesting thing should be to watch other people's film reviews, some movies are like this, you may not be able to see anything, but you go to see other people's opinions, and you can really taste endlessly, which is probably another kind of charm of movies.
Thank you for watching, paying attention to me, and taking you to learn more entertainment stories!
