"My father too, though not registered, has lived with his partner for over forty years and they have a great relationship. When I visited him in the hospital before, the people who took care of him were not related to him by blood, but they were just like the family. Although I was related to him by blood, I looked like a visiting patient. A family like this in the movie that connects people in some way is what I want to have. This is what Director Zhi also said, if you want "Thief Family" to become a different story, there must be a group of people who are not related by blood and do not have a registered household registration, but are linked. ”

First of all, I would like to invite Lilysan himself to ask you a good question!
Confirmed the pronunciation, is Chinese skill is not full of lily sang is not wrong!
The full video pokes here ⬇️
Yesterday, a Japanese movie was quietly released.
It is said to be "quiet" because it is indeed a bit "niche", and there is no overwhelming publicity and marketing.
Of course, we can also say that it is "huge", because there are few Japanese films that can attract so much attention in China.
The day after the film was released, it earned nearly 30 million at the box office.
Family of Thieves
In June this year, "Thief Family" was screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival "Zero Time Difference", a ticket is difficult to find, and even the pompous passage of "a "Thief Family" movie ticket for a suite in Shanghai Inner Ring" was even reported.
Its popularity and expectations are evident.
After all, people can be worth a house in Shanghai, and you may not be able to hope for it in your lifetime...
Similarly, in Japan, the film broke the box office record of "Deadpool 2" in its first weekend, and eventually earned 4 billion yen at the box office, which is 1 billion yen more than "Avengers 3".
And the person who directed this film can be said to be a master director - "Kore-eda".
Some people say that if there is any last bit of warmth in this world, it must come from director Kore-eda.
Back in May this year, when "Thief Family" reached the top of Cannes, the Japanese director Kore-eda and the moment when he lifted the Palme d'Or, everyone seemed to feel the warmth of empathy.
This is also as director Zhi himself said:
"Attending the film festival gave me a sense of hope that cinema has the power to connect people who are opposed in some way, and the worlds that are separated from each other."
In recent years, Kore-eda has been very productive, basically maintaining the rate of one work per year, and the quality has been maintained at a high level.
Nobody Knows (2004)
Douban score 9.0
Non-Stop (2008)
Douban score 8.8
Father As Son (2013)
Douban score 8.4
The Sea Street Diaries (2015)
Douban score 8.6
When people were amazed at the speed at which Kore-eda and The Annual Production were making films, he said this:
"Everything I've been thinking about in the past decade has been put into this work."
The movie "Thief Family" tells the story of the "Shibata Osamu" family played by Masaya Nakagawa, who do not have fixed jobs, and the family lives on the pension of "grandmother" Hatsue (Kiki Shirin). Shibata often takes his "son" Shota (Jojo Juniper) to the supermarket to steal daily necessities to supplement the family, but in fact, the family is not related by blood. However, Shibata tries to care for the children in his own way and strives to get the children's approval. One cold winter day, Shibata brings back a young girl (Miyuki Sasaki) who has been frozen in her residential area and joins their already impoverished family. The original balance was upset, and the family changed dramatically.
The Chinese version of "Thief Family" poster, one is "fireworks" and the other is "ocean waves".
Movie "Thief Family"
Chinese version of the poster
The last time "fireworks" appeared in Kore-eda's films was in The Sea Street Diary, a shot that was hailed by countless audiences as the most beautiful shot of the year.
And the "waves" in this "Thief Family" shot, Xiaobian visually predicted that it will also become one of the most beautiful shots in 2018.
The film is also like these two elements, in the seemingly silent, undisturbed story, revealing one unknown story after another.
As the C male number one in the film and the actor of his father "Shibata Osamu", what would Lily Sang want to say?
As a man who has been picked by Hirokazu Kore-eda and director four times in a row, does Lilyfranky have shrimp personality charm?
Blood bondage vs day and night together?
Today's film review: There is also a word in Japanese called "絆", is the bondage of blood more important, or is it more difficult to give up the feelings of day and night like in the film? How do you understand it?
@lily: In this movie, it is said that director Zhi also explored this theme in another work before this, "Like a Father Like a Son", whether a family is accompanied by day and night or linked by blood, and whether it is more important to accompany than the bondage of blood. What Director Zhi thought, and wanted to convey through this "Thief Family", is the theme of "can a group of people who are not related by blood at all become family". The parents in this movie, and the kind I have seen in my life, although they are family in the legal sense, but the family members are too particular.
My father too, though not registered, has lived with his partner for over forty years and they have a great relationship. In this case, I have met him three times when I was related by blood, and when I visited him in the hospital before, the people who took care of him, although they were not related to him, were just like the family. Although I was related to him by blood, I looked like a visiting patient.
A family like this in the movie that connects people in some way is what I want to have. This is what Director Zhi also said, if you want the thief family to become a different story, there must be a group of people who are not related by blood, nor registered, but are linked.
Is "stealing" a mental illness?
Today's film review: This time, you play shibata Osamu is a very complicated person, although he teaches children to steal things, and even kills people before, but I don't think he is a bad person, what kind of person do you think he is?
@lily: I've played the kind of character that killed a lot of people in other works, and compared to the previous roles, this time I didn't have the feeling of "I'm playing a bad guy" at all. But "cure" does not mean that you cannot survive without stealing. In Japan now, compared with those who are forced by life to steal things and food, there are still some elderly people and people who feel lonely. It is not because there is no money to steal, it is psychological problems to steal. So they steal things in crowded places like supermarkets and bookstores.
Lily Sang's eyes "Kore-eda"?
Film Review Today: How to evaluate Kore-eda and his creative approach?
@lily: I think he's probably the most stable director in the world, but he's also really weird, very particular, and I see that he's very, very attentive to both film shooting and post-production. In fact, the film may not be made exactly according to the script originally obtained.
In fact, director Zhi's film is the kind, even if we read the script, we have no idea what effect the plot will become before the final film comes out. Because the director will cut out a lot of the plot that was filmed before. At first, I was surprised to find out, "Ah, this plot is gone, that plot is gone," and then he would turn into a completely different story. So in this movie I also have the feeling of "ah it has become like this". Because in fact, the final plot should continue that kind of beauty.
What are your expectations for the release of "Thief Family" in China?
Today's Film Review: What are your expectations for the release of "Thief Family" in China?
@lily: It's beyond my imagination to be released in China, and in fact, we only had very little expectations for this movie when we made it in Japan, because it is a very directorial style. No one expected it to achieve such a good box office in Japan. It can be released in China, which has dozens of times more Japanese filmmakers, and this can only be done through the art of film. Beyond many countries, across many issues, through the film to connect people to each other, I feel that my work is very meaningful.
Bridge bean sack!
Xiaobian specially prepared a small tidbit of the interview, see here ⬇️
Today's Film Review: What do Japanese audiences think of this movie?
@lily: I think there are basically two points of view, one is that I was particularly touched after watching it, and the other is confused because it is not a family-style finale. Because the director of the branch will not be very enthusiastic to tell you " This story is like this" Oh. But because I want to tell a story that is easy to understand, there are a lot of older people who come to see it, and I think that's a good thing. Instead of understanding this story, you can still think in empathy.
Today's Film Review: This year marks the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Japanese peace and friendship agreement, and there are more and more Sino-Japanese co-productions, which Chinese films have you seen?
@lily: I've seen a lot of Chinese movies since I was a kid. I think we have a lot of opportunities to see Chinese films. Including this work directed by Shi Zhi, there are about 6,000 production staff, and I am very happy that such a small production can be released in China, as if connecting people through the film.
Today's Film Review: If there is a chance in the future, do you want to cooperate with those Chinese actors/directors?
@lily: Be sure to shoot in China, I want to spend more time in China. There are many actors or directors who want to work with, and before my friend Masaharu Fukuyama and director Wu Yusen collaborated on the movie "The Hunt", but most of that was made in Japan, and I wanted to make a movie in China. (Xiaobian was almost in tears after listening to it... ）
Finally, Lilysang, who did not accept defeat, also set up a flag with full marks Chinese skills, played a high-energy game of "Japanese Chinese translation" with Xiaobian on the spot, and the hidden "Chinese Terminator" in Japan appeared!
Ran Goose, guessing the Chinese intention of "Mother", his answer turned out to be...
"Mother" = "Kawaii"?
Scared Xiaobian immediately rolled...
Finally, knock on a chalkboard!!!
At 10:00 p.m. on The next Thursday of August 9, "Today's Film Review" will invite Ye Hang, a teacher from the Beijing Film Academy, to take us into Kore-eda's "Thief Family" and feel the warmth brought to us by this group of "strangers".
