"On the road of life, if you keep walking, there will always be a moment when you are too late." This sentence from the movie "Keeping a Step" directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda deeply touched my soul.
This film won the Jury Prize at the Matabrata International Film Festival in 2008. It is a high-quality family drama film. I admire the director’s shooting techniques very much, which is in line with my own style. taste.
The content of the film may seem weak, but in fact it can shock people's hearts after watching it in full. Even without those eye-catching murderous and violent romances, it is still a film that excels in character creation, plot arrangement, ideological implication, A film that is excellent in many aspects, including the editing and editing.
In the film, the seemingly peaceful and normal family atmosphere actually hides the undiscovered side of everyone. Faced with the cruelty and determination of the person saved by her eldest son, the kind and kind mother becomes cold and withdrawn. The father was helpless when the neighbors asked for help. The second son, Liang Duo, did not understand his father at first but gradually understood after his arrival. The family atmosphere that concealed the breakdown and discord began to gradually improve as the plot progressed.
There are also many thought-provoking details in the film: one of them is that many people found fallen tiles in the bathroom and the handle near the faucet when they were taking a shower. Worried that the handle was unstable, he deliberately shook it a few times, but in fact He wanted to show his concern for his father's inconvenience. In addition, when Liang Duo went to the beach with his father, there was a long staircase to go down. At first Liang Ping walked in front of his father and heard his father gasping when he went down the stairs. The sound of the walking stick and the sound of the cane silently slowed his pace, and he walked behind his father. This small detail also contained Liangping's concern for his father.
Of course, there is a plot in the movie that is particularly suitable for inspiring your young self. The plot happened on the day when the family was preparing to worship the eldest son. The person who was rescued by the eldest son Junpei came to visit Liang Duo's family. The life of the person saved by Junpei was not good. He had no stable career and was too fat. The father could not understand why his eldest son would sacrifice his life to save such a person.
The second son, Ryohei, was at a low point in his life at that time, unemployed and at odds with his family. When he heard his father’s evaluation of that man, he said angrily: “He is working hard. Dad, if you work hard, you may not succeed.” You get something in return, but you just sit back and judge others, saying they are useless, rubbish and so on.” When you helped the man your brother saved out of the house, you patted him on the back and said, “You are only 25 years old, you can do it.” Become whoever you want to be. "Yes, when you are young, you have the capital to choose your ideal future self.
The end of the film is also very sad. Three years later, many parents passed away. He took his wife and children to the tomb to pay homage and bought the white chair that his mother wanted to sit on. But the car never had the chance to make my mother feel...
"The pace of life is non-stop, why is it always slow?" The child wants to be raised but the family does not wait, which is the sadness that many people will feel when they see the ending. dolor.
