Mohican head arose in the 1970s, and this hairstyle resembles a horse's mane. Originally considered decadent, it is also considered a symbol of hippies. The young people of that era were full of rebellious personalities, and those who saw through the red dust simply kept horse's manes.
The protagonist of this film, Yongji, the lead singer of the underground band, has a Mohican head.
The whole story revolves around his return to his hometown because he is going to marry his pregnant girlfriend.
The overall feeling of watching the movie is that it is particularly noisy when it is noisy, it is very distracting when it is quiet, it is very profound when it is serious, and it turns around and starts laughing and scolding. Such strong contrasts abound throughout the film.
There are some slight flaws in the play, such as the character of the eldest son is not very distinct; the second son has no sense of existence and does not play a role in promoting the plot, as if it is superfluous. The two-hour space is a bit long, and the director uses the lens to depict the details of life, telling every audience that life, old age, illness and death are not the norm, but only the tip of the iceberg of ordinary life.
But overall, the film is harmonious, every character is very middle two, Okita Shuichi is good at using farce to express comedy, and there is a grotesque sense of humor that can make people laugh and laugh and cry.
Reviews from buckwheat
"There are many works about the restoration of father-son relations, but if You let Okita Shuichi describe it, it is only from the use of ordinary small things."
Father and son met for the first time to fight, after the fight the father will hahahahaha smile to celebrate for the sake of his son's marriage, the two people have to be emotionally bonded beyond doubt, but they are expressed in the most awkward way. After the son learned that his father had cancer, he wanted to fulfill all his wishes before his death, but the father repeatedly came up with difficulties to make the son difficult and let the son return to Tokyo.
The passage of eating pizza is the most concentrated place in this film, but I cried, and the three pizza delivery men laughed uncontrollably when they took the boat and the embarrassing car. But in order not to disappoint his son, although he could not remember what kind of pizza he had eaten, the old father casually chose a picture of desperately trying to stuff it into his mouth, but it hit the tears. When the son looked at his father's eating and smiled with relief, those barriers had disappeared.
"You better go back to Tokyo, you treat me like this, I will feel like a dying person"
The son fulfills all kinds of wishes for his father, but he cannot stop his father's condition from deteriorating. To tell the truth, I thought that the role of the pipe band in the film would be that the son would continue the work he loved in place of his father after his father's death, but there was no such bloody routine in this film, everything was very plain, unexpected but in line with common sense. In the passage on the beach, Matsuda Ryuhei, who plays his son, explodes in acting, just a calm chat between father and son, but it crosses all the barriers in these years and pushes the original intention of the two people to the audience.
His father, who loved rock and roll, named his son "Yongji", which is the name of his favorite rock singer.
"Death-breaking"
The climax of the film is the wedding passage, typical of "Murphy's Law". The whole wedding was a jumble of chaos, with accidents from the start.
The woman's mother said the day before the wedding, "Tomorrow would be fine," but it rained heavily on the wedding day.
The groom wears a suit but abruptly combs his mohican head, and the children play at the wedding scene.
When everyone got up to listen to the bride's oath, the bride cried with excitement.
When the priest, who was temporarily in charge of the nurse, announced that the new person could kiss, the father sat up with an "ah" and then collapsed on the hospital bed, and everyone was busy taking the father to the hospital.
Personally, I feel that the treatment of the loss of life here is too hasty, and the whole wedding is like a farce. With the hospital bed carrying his father hit the wall to bring his father's death to the brush, I always feel that the director has nothing to say, but gave the audience a big blank space, so that everyone can understand the changes of life according to their own ideas.
Before the father died, bgm is the name of the song that the son sang at the beginning of the film, "Broken End Demon" means the pain before death, as if the father's "ah" is just the beginning of the song.
Perfect end-to-end echo, yes, this is very Okita Shuichi.
The end of the film jumps directly to the son and wife preparing to return to Tokyo, and at this time there is still some confusion about whether the father has died. It wasn't until the second son took a part of his father's ashes and handed it to his brother that it became clear that it was true, and his father was really gone, and he always felt that some of them were still unfinished.
"I'll be back when I get ahead"
The son did not stay behind to replace his father as the new conductor of the pipe band, but chose to return to Tokyo with his wife to continue his work.
But I still remember the promise I made to my father on the beach: I'll come back when I'm famous.
As for the development of his son's band after that, there is no mention, perhaps he still relies on his wife to do nail art to support the family, and may still have to plant coriander on the balcony to subsidize the family. But it doesn't matter anymore, because this is life, two hours of movies without great joy and sorrow, life and old age and illness and death are just ordinary.
Who said that the second grade can not be affectionate, this contrast of contrast, the character image is more three-dimensional.
More secondary two, you can be more affectionate.
Even more damning.
