He was the same as he was 7 years ago
My mother was the same as she was 7 years ago
In 2004, after "Nobody Knows" sent the 14-year-old Yumi Yanagi to the position of Cannes film emperor, he returned to Japan and lay on his mother's bed and said: I am on "Tetsuko's Cottage" (my mother thinks that Japan's most popular program), and my mother died in great anxiety about his future and did not hear.
In 2008, he faced his mother's meanness and followed the principle of not bringing emotions into the film, making a family movie without tears, "Walking Non-Stop", in order to commemorate his family affection and fame and fortune.
In 2015, "Deeper Than the Sea" was released: the nagging mother, the steaming food, the young daughter with a distinct personality, the picture of the tram entering, the boring face of the male protagonist, the ladder of metaphorical ups and downs of life, etc., just like "Non-stop".
The difference is that the mother of "Deeper Than the Sea" is romantic, stoic, gentle, generous, empathetic, full of love and strength, and the opposite of the poisonous, mean, and gossipy mother in "Walking Non-Stop".
If "Non-Stop Walking" directly faces the trivialities of life, then "Deeper Than the Sea" is more like pulling out the loopholes of human nature, and using warmth and love, little by little, to fill in this loophole, trying to express it at will: Just like this, it is also life.

Even if you do everything in your power
I still can't carve the steps to reality
Abe Played a lot of people, after winning the literary award, stopped moving; became a private detective, earned money to gamble, can't afford to pay their son's alimony; hid at home and heard a knock on the door, afraid that the landlord did not dare to speak for rent; and hesitated in the face of the opportunity to make money.
Taking his son to buy sneakers to deliberately get dirty asked the waiter for a discount; seeing his ex-wife jealous with a new man; returning home to steal his mother's pension, and after being joked about by his sister, he took his father's brick platform to sell.
In this way, the middle-aged male who can make people jump in any behavior in real life is Kore-eda who still gives him the dignity to survive.
The romantic and lovely mother witnessed his embarrassment, but still praised him, and at the moment when he had achieved nothing, she showed off his former glory in front of his friends, gave him full of love, and even created opportunities for him to reunite with his ex-wife, carefully defending his dream of being a writer.
Many of the shyness, childishness, and even uncertain wishes for the future are well interpreted by Uncle Kuan: messy hair, gray-tone clothes, the look of "I am not good, but I can live calmly", and the spit of the bullet screen is endless.

Mistakes are like gravity
Nothing in the world can bypass it
Most people's eyes are focused on Abe's unsatisfactory adult life and the innocence of his constant questioning of what his dreams were when he was young, except for Kore-eda's depictions of embarrassment.
An attitude that we always have to live anyway, and everything is not a big deal, makes the ups and downs worthless, very advanced.
Because of the frankness of directly attacking the dirty side of life, in the eyes of the world, he failed to the extreme, could not afford alimony and still went to see his son every month, then did not want to do comic compilation, and took his son to hide in the slide to eat snacks together on a typhoon day.
In the face of a life that embraces the expectations of the mother but cannot achieve and is spurned by the ex-wife at the same time, it can go on step by step, and it does not matter whether it is alive or not, there is perception, courage, and ability. This gentle to the extreme attitude of life is most likely not present in reality.
Desire opens its blood basin in the dark night, devours our dreams little by little, and constructs a shameful view of life that failure can be built. Most people live according to the principle that poverty is bound to fall into endless quarrels, failure must be hated, humiliated and abandoned.
In the face of everything that is bad, righteous hysteria, saying all the sharp words in the world, and not caring about what kind of results will be brought to the future. Licking honey on the blade, whoever shed more blood, who is a warrior.
How many people feel angry and ashamed of failure? Whether this failure comes from others or oneself?
How many people have succumbed to everything they hate and finally achieved their dreams?

In infinite space-time
Establish the self-coordinates of unique existence
The line of mother and son on the night of the typhoon can be called the essence of the whole movie.
She was strong and optimistic in front of everyone, until she confirmed with her ex-wife that the two could not be together, and then she cried bitterly, saying how did it come to this? Then return the umbilical cord of true enlightenment to her.
She regrets that the two people can't reconcile, but she respects each other's choices with dignity and restraint, and frankly tells Zhen Wu that her parents divorced because her father did too many things that made her mother hate.
I will always remember this woman, who will get some kind of courage from her when it is very difficult in life, so that we can learn how to face our lives and how to be ourselves.

The moon hangs high in the sky
His heart was intact
It was Kore-eda who said: I don't like the plot of the protagonist overcoming weaknesses, protecting his family and saving the world, but I want to describe the moment when there are no heroes, only ordinary people live, and the dirty world suddenly becomes beautiful.
So there was a family to spend the end of the typhoon night, Liangping signed the back up, the ex-wife changed the impatience of the past and smiled and said that you still owe me 150,000 yuan of child support Remember not to forget, the family are full of hope at the intersection separated.
He took out the very gentle core of his heart and put it in the movie. You can feel the director's real life memory, life experience, adjust your breath, your breath, your state of mind to an unexpected aura, from the moment you leave the movie, you will try to control your life.
In traditional culture, people crave a kind of natural person, a complete person, a person who we laymen, ordinary people or people with flaws cannot reach that state, a kind of divinity in an ordinary person, is Kore-eda who breaks the usual divinity in the movie, there are many real and cruel things in life and society, but it makes people feel full of warmth and very magical.
The inability of adults to achieve their ideals is not the truth of life. The truth of life should be to be gentle in the face of bad, not angry, not anxious, not angry, not humiliated, not humiliated others, and live a life full of love and strength. I'm working hard and working with you.
