1) let's take a look at the main content of this film first: all the people living in this high-class apartment are upper-class people. They have glamorous appearance and prominent social status, but they live a hypocritical and absurd life. The real spiritual world is very rich, but it is the ugly Mrs. Porter Michelle and the eleven-year-old talented girl Baroma. They hide in the corners of their respective worlds, secretly enjoying their elegant spiritual life, but resisting the outside world with thorns. It is Mr. Ozu who just moved in. With his delicacy and erudition, he discovered their unique lifestyle and attitude towards life that they deliberately concealed.
2) Hedgehog, seemingly lazy and unattractive, always lives in a lonely world, but also has its own elegance. "? We live in a world that values appearance. The world is rigid, unfriendly and full of prejudice. In such a world, we can only erect thorns like hedgehogs and build indestructible fortresses to protect our soft hearts. Until one day someone can touch your heart. That's him. He knows you're not who others look. That's him. He knows you're different. "
3) Individuals who may consider themselves ordinary or unique all have the same loneliness. The world is too big to hold too much, but the chances of meeting outstanding individuals are very small. Life like death plans real death, whether it is to be a beautiful goldfish or an elegant hedgehog. This kind of life tells conscious people to go to idolize and not end up in a fish tank like a goldfish. Surrounded by people who have never seen you, when someone recognizes you at first sight, you know that what matters is not death, but what you are doing at the moment of death.
4) "We are all lonely hedgehogs. Only people with the same frequency can see the unknown elegance in each other's hearts. I believe there must be someone in this world who can feel themselves. That person may not be a lover, but he may be anyone. "
