Life is impetuous and impetuous, and the pace is not stopping, and we can't help but ask ourselves, where is the quiet place where we can rest?
If we can't find it in reality, where can we find our utopia? Apart from the mundane life, is it real?
The film "Little Forest", directed by Japanese director Junichi Mori, has moved the "ideal life" that many people think of to the screen.
Like all ordinary people, she grew up in the city and was used to seeing the hustle and bustle. After the college entrance examination, the girl who felt that she could not integrate into the city ended her busy and compact life.
Back in his hometown of Komori Village in the Tohoku region, he spent some quiet years in this almost isolated village.
There are no brilliant colors, and in the small villages and villages in the mountains, what shows us is the four seasons: spring is full of spring, the summer is steaming, the leaves are falling in autumn, and the winter is warm.
The film always reveals the elegance, simplicity and nature of life. She is busy in the rice fields every day, occasionally collecting seasonal mountain treasures to cook delicacies, and her life is plain but colorful.
Its slow pace took me into the depths of life
We followed the slow camera through the woods, through the fields, to komori village. The film is like a documentary, unfolding the picture of "Little Forest" that is melodious like a flute.
Borrowing the voice of Ichiko, it slowly unfolds with each day in the small forest.
We rode our bikes in the early morning with Ichiko, leaving footprints on every rugged country gravel road, hearing the clanging of every river, and panicking at the sudden raindrops. It's a slow start of the day...
In the days when each Ichiko lives alone, the film presents the audience with the process of making food in the audience.
Without gorgeous special effects and no exciting plot, "Little Forest" sheds the complex shell and hits the deepest place in people's hearts.
There is no supermarket in the small forest, and every villager who lives in the small forest village will use his hands to obtain raw materials: harvesting yellow-orange-orange wheat, picking red fruits, gently caressing the flowers that bloom inadvertently in the fields...
Fresh and pollution-free ingredients are nature's most precious gift. Influenced by her mother, Ichiko has a keen interest in making food.
The main length of "Little Forest" is to show the process of Ichiko making his own food with the freshest ingredients: toasting bread, making sweet wine, making jam, frying, stir-frying, frying, steaming, boiling...
Therefore, this movie was also jokingly called "the Japanese countryside on the tip of the tongue" by the audience.
As the "protagonist" of "Little Forest", food always accompanies Ichiko and brings the audience a soothing feeling of the soul.
There is no mountain treasure and sea flavor, no big fish and big meat, even if the city makes the simplest and lightest food, it has the fullest happiness and due mutilation.
In the water vapor, cotton is picked to grow rice, brewing sauce, a cool sour and sweet iced tomato in summer, and a bowl of fragrant glutinous rice sauce rice in winter.
There are no expensive ingredients, no exquisite methods, but everything tastes and tastes just right, just like my mother did when I was a child.
In the movie, Ichiko's memories of her childhood and her mother are often interspersed. Each dish is full of the migration of time, and restoring the food in the memory by hand is also a way for the city to look back on time and taste the memory.
It is not that food has not perished through time, but that feelings have crossed the whole process, so that one dish after another has become the carrier of feelings and a way of peace of mind.
One person works, one person harvests, one person lives... All kinds of tastes, only one person can taste.
Perhaps, loneliness is the way life is, and what we should do is to enjoy the taste of loneliness and wait for the flowers to fill the mountains.
Each frame is a long picture, like a fairyland.
The scenery in "Little Forest" can be said to be beautiful, and it is more commendable than its authenticity.
The dense forest, layer by layer, and the green and green are covered by dark green, just like hiding the people in the village, isolating this wonderland from the hustle and bustle.
The countryside in spring is full of hope. Clusters of flowers are too embellished, and the disorganized but self-contained flowers are the real scenery of the small forest.
It is the simplest white, yellow, pink... Not a precious variety, but brings pure happiness without paying.
In the summer, grass warblers will fly, and they will also get bored with wild grass that grows wildly due to excessive humidity. Looking at the grass and trees without obstruction, you who struggle to pick grass will also be helpless.
If autumn is coming, please hurry up and kiss the sycamore leaves that have landed on your head, and hold your fate in this golden yellow.
When talking to friends, there is no need to be bustling, but simply put on a seat, under the simple grass hut, and invite him to taste the food he has made.
If it comes to winter, don't be disappointed. Quietly admire the white scroll of the Creator, white and ice blue, as if by magic.
Such beauty, even if wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, you can't help but stop and look at it!
As the movie says, "Winter is really cold, but this cold is reassuring, because every day knows that today is another day closer to warmth." ”
"Although the weather is very cold and headaches, some foods can only be made when it is cold. Cold is also an important seasoning. "Pale winters also have a charm worth collecting!
Small forest healing place: never rely on, never look for.
Some people say: The "Little Forest" series has taken another step forward in the realm of life.
In the small forest, Ichiko has always been slowly running her own life with her hands, no matter how many confusing things have happened in her life, she never wastes a lot of good light.
The choice to return to the small forest was never accidental. After her mother did not quit and left her alone, she faced the silent and familiar mountains and fields, and faced the miscellaneous and light and lonely hearts.
She began to farm alone, trying to restore the food and old life that her mother had taught her.
The young Ichiko becomes a girl who lives alone, a lonely but not desperate person from love and affection, a figure riding alone on a country road.
Running your daily life with your hands, knowing for yourself, good or bad. Even when my mother leaves, the memories and reproductions of the dishes become a unique way of communicating between mother and daughter.
Not to mention that there are all kinds of ingredients taken from nature, how can they waste a lot of good Shaoguang.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, never relying, never looking, Ichiko in silence and effort, slowly reshaped the meaning of life, she looked forward to her mother's letter, waiting for the arrival of the season, treating the fate between people, waiting for the leaves to drift and the old branches to grow.
In the small forest that was "abandoned" and left behind, she quietly dropped her own seeds, like every creature of nature, inheriting the laws of natural survival.
Listen to the wind, drink the rain and live, and gradually grow into a standing tree in the future.
"The land is flat, the houses are like houses, and there are good fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry bamboo. Strange traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. ”
This is Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Source, but someone said: "The saddest thing Tao Yuanming wrote in the "Peach Blossom Origin" is the last sentence, saying 'Those who have no interests in the future'. In the past, Liu Ziji fell ill and died although he did not find it, but he longed for such a happy and peaceful society in our world, and he wanted to find it; later, there was no one to look for, and even the ideal of searching was abandoned, and this ending was very sad. ”
For thousands of years, the three words "Taohuayuan" have become synonymous with ideal society and life in Chinese culture.
In fact, from Junichi Mori's film "Little Forest", it can be seen that human beings have never given up being the "inquirers".
May everyone have their own "peach blossom garden" in their hearts, and everyone can enjoy the loneliness that exists for a moment in the days, and live as much as they want on good or bad days.
