Hello, everyone, here are the best movies recommended for you every day. Today we are going to talk about a warm movie "Kikujiro's Summer" about childhood and growth.
previously recommended another film by Takeshi Kitano, "Bad Boy's Sky". The two films one talks about youth and the other talks about childhood. Both are full of Kitano's unique tenderness and sadness. The difference between
is that "Summer of Kikujiro" has more warm elements. Through the special perspective of a child and an older child, the director deliberately weakened the helplessness and melancholy that belonged to adults, but instead used some on the path of pursuit. The road comedy approach makes the plot easier.

This movie released in 1999 seems to be more like our childhood
In 1999, mobile phones and computers were not popular, and if you are looking for classmates to play, you usually have to go to each other’s home and shout: "XX Come out and play!"
Seeing all the actions taken by Masao in the film because he had nothing to do during the summer vacation, I feel familiar. With the popularization of mobile communications and the Internet, some seemingly common behaviors now feel a little bit Hard to understand.
Of course, there are some scenes unique to Japan that we have not experienced. For example, the bus that hasn't come after waiting for many days. Even today's rural buses in Japan are basically the same. Therefore, if there is no car in the suburbs of Japan, it is basically the same as having no legs.
When many adults watched this movie, they might have a sense of substitution for Kikujiro. After 20 years, other adults watched this film but began to have a sense of substitution for Masao. Time is so incredible.
"Summer of Kikujiro" has the cutest Takeshi Kitano
Takeshi Kitano naturally has his own distinctive style as a director. As an actor, he still has a kind of role that he can control very well. Because of some fierce aspects, he is very good at playing that. A character with few words.
But "Summer of Kikujiro" is different. Although he is still a rascal but he is a very cute rascal. Although it seems that Masato is the main character in the whole plot, it is Kikujiro who really supports the whole drama. protagonist.
can't drive but secretly drove away in a taxi. You can't swim but you have to pretend that you are good at swimming. When you see the waiter's tap dancing and the girl's acrobatics, you will learn it silently, and you must have a strong personality if you can't. It looks like they are all a child.
Although it was Kikujiro who took his Masaru to find his mother, it was Kikujiro who was messing around all the way, and it was Kikujiro who had changed and grown after this journey.
The character played by Takeshi Kitano is unsatisfactory, unreasonable but responsible and full of love. These seemingly totally unmatched descriptions are all concentrated on one person, but they become very suitable, even completely invisible. Contradictory places, these are very test the plot and the actors' acting skills.
What does "Summer of Kikujiro" want to express? Questions like
are actually similar to "what is the central idea of this article", most of which are over-interpreted answers. But if you don't say one, two, three, you feel like watching a movie for nothing. Although there are a thousand Hamlets, let's just pick one out and talk about it. First of all,
must be an expression of family affection. The encounter of Zheng Nan in the film is a typical tragic example of "the father is married to death." Zheng Nan's longing for and pursuit of his mother also makes family affection the driving force behind the development of the story.
However, there are not many scenes about family affection in the film, because Zheng Nan's mother abandoned him, and the maternal love Zheng Nan has been seeking is impossible to obtain.
So although the film tells about family affection, it also weakens family affection. Instead, it turns around at the end to truly tell friendship. The wandering boy, the motorcycle boy, and the couple carrying the masculine man, these people who have never met were just because they had a brief friendship when they met, but they became a little sad when they separated.
Although the experience of Zhengnan is tragic, but with the support of these short-term friendships, at least Zhengnan's summer is still warm. Kikujiro told him: When you shake the wind chime, the angel will come. Sometimes the angel doesn’t have to look up. If you look around, you will find that the angel is actuallyIt's all around him.
recently read a sentence: Love and family affection are not true love, true love is selfless love. This kind of feeling of meeting on the road and then loving each other should be regarded as true love, because it is short and so selfless.
