The movie recommended this week is "Amitabha Message", I have seen this movie before but did not go to see it, this is a synchronic movie, and now I feel that the timing is the most appropriate, so I must recommend it. In addition to the strong resonance, there are many elements that I like, such as the scenery of the four seasons, the characters, the poetry, the concept of life and death, etc., which are the few good movies I have seen recently.
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist read the poem copied by his mother on the wall - Kenji Miyazawa's "Not Afraid of Wind and Rain", and people who have seen it have liked this small poem, which is not known, does not think that it is bitter, and makes people want to become that kind of person.
Undefeated to the wind, undefeated to the rain
Undefeated to the bitter cold and heat
Have a strong body
No desire, no anger
Always laugh quietly
Eclipse brown rice quadruplication
Serve with yellow sauce and a little vegetables
To everything in the world
Do not rejoice in things, do not grieve in the past
Observe in detail and gain insight into the world
And, keep it in mind
In the shade of a wild forest
In a small thatched hut
If there are sick children in the east, take good care of them
If there is a tired mother in the west, go and help her carry the rice
If there is a dying man in the south, go and comfort him without fear
If there is a quarrel in the north, go and tell them that there is no need to argue about boring things
I wept bitterly when I was alone
Often walk alone in the cold summer season
Called a fool by everyone
Unknown, not bitter
I want to be that kind of person
Always see and listen, understand and understand, and then, remember.
The background of this movie is also in the countryside, although watching a lot of nature movies is still not tired of watching. Japanese films, focusing on the natural atmosphere, focusing on the change of the four seasons and the changes of nature, it seems that nature is the basis of literature and art, is the ultimate in aesthetics, without the participation of natural elements, these works seem to be eclipsed. There is also the subtlety of the excavation of the inner place of man, which is really admirable. For Japanese movies, what I actually want to say the most is that I haven't watched enough movies.
In rural mountain villages, it is easier to see the vitality hidden in the silence. Stripped and frozen in winter, budding and reviving in spring, blooming and flowing in summer, and yellowing and frosting in autumn. They are like the original force of life force, which can be emitted without asking for meaning.
The natural scenery of the four seasons in the movie naturally calms people's mood and is always bored.
The beautiful mountain village healed Michiko, and also healed us who watched movies. After watching the movie, briefly review the heroine Michiko's complete process of physical and mental healing.
She walked into the forest, embraced a big tree, and experienced the stability and power of nature;
Play with children, put your mind aside, and fully devote yourself to the game of eagle catching chickens;
Have leisure time to go fishing, catch the fish very happy, and Mr. drink;
Listening to the sound of the river, feeling the nourishment of the mountains, and restoring a close relationship with Mr
。。。。
For me, when did I really like nature start?
Before 19 years, there was no "open eyes" to nature, no enlightenment to the beauty of plants, no clear understanding of flowers and plants, and it was in a relatively chaotic state. However, at that time, it may be out of nature, or out of the habit of living in the countryside since childhood, from a young age, I liked to raise flowers and grasses, even if I went to work in the metropolis, I liked to dump some flowers and plants on the balcony and at home, and later I had a yard and finally I could grow flowers and vegetables.
The real focus on nature should be last year, 2020. In the spring, you will pay special attention to the flowering period of common plants such as peach blossoms, rape flowers, and cherry blossoms, and you will also go to places with cherry blossoms near your home and happily run to take pictures of them, in the summer it is gardenia and lotus, in autumn you will pay special attention to osmanthus flowers, maple leaves and ginkgo biloba, as well as winter plums and camellias. When there is nothing to do, I like to hang out by the mountain next to my home, and people become physically and mentally comfortable. Before I realized that this was the action of nature, the healing effect of nature.
I don't know if everyone has the same experience?
When you go to the mountains, forests or parks, when you see a very old tree with a thick trunk and a dense canopy, you will feel a stable and powerful energy and be healed in the tree. The heroine holds a big tree, thinking that she used to love to do this kind of thing.
Movies about the natural countryside are a subject I particularly like, the way to alleviate anxiety, I will like to watch movies about the pastoral genre, probably the ultimate dream of life.
Winter time
Heavy snow covered up
The boundary between the mountains and the village
It's all white
Unable to discern the world of the village
And in the midst of that deep mountain
The world of the ancestors
Spring, summer, autumn, winter
The boundary between the village and the mountain
In the flow of time of the year
Slowly disappeared
At my age, I feel even more
Our lives are the same
When it comes to the characters of this movie, two of the characters that impressed me the most were Mr. Takada, the teacher of the male protagonist, and Grandma Mei, a 96-year-old Buddhist believer.
"In the spring, I planted eggplant beans and cucumbers in the garden, and one day I found that I was 96 years old, and I couldn't say whether it was good or bad, but I didn't care, I didn't add to my worries."
That deep and timeless feeling seems to be the answer I have been seeking for a long time, and it is really too open-minded in life, but people often like to find their own troubles when there is nothing to do. Grandma Mei's words were very slow and slow, but I really wanted to listen to her all the time.
The most impressive person is the teacher of the male protagonist, it is a great fortune to have such a teacher in life, I like his modesty, his outlook on life, the concept of death, leaving nothing to clean up, and my recent behavior and psychology are very similar, and the view of the house is very good. I like this very polite and humble look, I can feel that their kneeling etiquette is also to put themselves very low, this kind of sitting cross-legged on the ground, more grounded, more peaceful and equal when communicating with people, can put their hearts lower, I feel this way.
When the hero Takao returns to his hometown to visit his teacher, they return to the house, and Takao finds that all the books in the previous room are missing. The teacher said: "I want to clean everything up, just once in my life, I will not leave anything, I do not want to leave anything." ”
Takata's wife said that he was always the same, eating whatever he wanted, and not showing the appearance of a patient. Advanced stomach cancer is very painful, but he never says pain. The physical body is sick, but his mind is still free. The teacher was not carried away by his pain, nor by the fear that his life was coming to an end, he became the Lord of his life.
The final picture of Takada's life is particularly moving, like the flowers blooming quietly in the corner, solemn and silent. His state of life and death was shocking, and he lay weak and calm, the door of the room was originally closed, and he made a gesture to his wife to open the door. At this time, the nature outside the house is quiet and full of life, and he died calmly in such an environment, which has a breathtaking beauty.
Michiko said, "Sensei Takada seems to have stopped breathing herself with her will." Michiko was also touched and inspired by Takata-sensei, and she later said when discussing life with the young doctor: "If a person's soul is not sick, that person is not sick." ”
The film is warm and healing and thought-provoking, and the film begins in spring and ends in winter, like a human life.
four seasons
Four seasons of life
It's all the same
Live the moment completely
Better to die
The film also shows a certain worldview that modern people yearn for and cannot tell clearly. This era is more inclusive of the diversity of the meaning of life than in the past. We can think of life as a tragedy and at the same time we can think of it as a comedy. We can bear the suffering of reality like a hero, but at the same time we can warn ourselves not to be too serious and to enjoy these joys and impermanences.
Thankful to have come across this movie has injected a lot of energy into my recently somewhat dim soul.
I hope that this weekend, you can also use this video to heal your anxious heart. Far away may still be far away, this weekend, first through the poetic pastoral movie, to release and moisturize the tense heart, maybe you can get comfort and answer in the movie, in the forest field in a green look, I believe you will have a different insight, while getting a little inspiration and sublimation.
I love this movie a lot, sharing it with Jun is better than owning it alone, and recommend the movie "Amitabha Message".
Share a movie every week, light spoilers, good movies deserve to be seen by more people.
