This article was originally published on today’s headline
. The movie recommended today is that Aliang wanted to see it very early, but he has not had the courage to watch it.
finally got the courage to open it, watched it for tens of minutes, then turned it off, and then adjusted the mood and watched it. In the end, it took two days to finish the two-hour movie. The last movie on
that A Liang dared to endure watching several times, its name is "The Life of the Disgusted Pine Nut". At the beginning of the film
, there was a reminder that "the plot of the film originated from a true story that took place in Tokyo".
Single mother Keiko Fukushima was planning to rent a new house. She was worried that the landlord would refuse to rent a house because of the population. So she took her 12-year-old son, Amin, to visit the landlord, falsely claiming that the father of the child was working abroad. Amin Elementary School Will soon graduate with good grades.
Back to the rental room, a few suitcases on the tatami mat were opened, and two children were actually curled up inside. The moment
opened the suitcase, 5-year-old Xiaomao (second son) and 3-year-old Xiaoxue (second daughter) chuckled and crawled out of the suitcase as if they had been found hiding.
Because the eldest daughter Kyoko was too big to hide, she had to stay at the station.
The sky was getting dark, and Amin went to the train station to find the 11-year-old Kyoko. The brothers and sisters took advantage of the darkness to sneak back to the rental room.
This night, the warm orange lights, the mother's loving smile, four children with different fathers, with excited and bright eyes, were eating instant noodles around the table.
In order to prevent being discovered by the landlord, the mother stipulated that the children should not be noisy in the room, let alone go out of the apartment. Only Kyoko who needs to wash clothes can go to the balcony to wash clothes when there is no one.
's mother is usually very busy at work, so the 12-year-old Amin took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings. He skillfully selects dishes in the supermarket, compares prices, and helps Xiaoxue buy her favorite Apollo chocolate.
Xiaoxue didn't finish eating all at once, but put it away after eating a few, and prepared to save it and eat slowly.
On a very good day, Amin and his mother were drying the quilt on the balcony. His mother told Amin that she was in love with someone.
Amin interrupted and said,
"fallen in love again?"
mother told him that this time is different. If this man promises to marry her, they will live in a big house and all can go to school.
One night, my mother came home very late, and the mother who had drunk looked in a good mood. She said that Amin now looks more and more like his father, especially his eyes.
Mom said while putting her nail polish on Kyoko,
"Kyoko's dad is a music producer. I was a singer before, but I broke up with your dad when I was going to release the film."
After leaving 200,000 yen and a note, he left home.
Amin deposited all the money left by his mother in his account. When shopping in the supermarket, a group of children secretly put snacks in Amin's shopping bag. The
store manager thought it was Amin who stole the thing. Faced with this unreasonable accusation, Amin did not have any grievances or sadness on his face. Fortunately, the saleswoman finally came forward to explain the matter. The living expenses left by the mother of
were not enough to support all the expenses of the family. The desperate Amin had to ask his mother's ex-boyfriend for money, but his mother's ex-boyfriend did not give Amin too much money.
Fortunately a month later, my mother finally went home.
She brought gifts to the children and cut hair for both Amin and Xiaomao.
But soon, his mother was packing up again, Xiao Mao asked,
"Does mother have to leave?"
Mom told them that she must go home at Christmas.
Amingson’s mother went to the station and asked on the way,
"hasn't you told that person about us?"
mother said she would definitely say it.
Amin asked,
"Mom, when can we go to school?"
's mother said that many celebrities never go to school, and Amin complained that her mother was really selfish.
"Isn't it your father who is selfish? What is this, can't I be happy?"
When a mother is full of grievances, contrived babbles ask herselfWhen she was her underage son, she had no doubt about ending her exile with the exile of the children.
But her mother is also an outcast, and her run away is just an imitation of men who run away again and again. Her life has been tumbling in the mud puddle, so she is numb to filth and hardship. Mother
sent a small amount of money after she was gone for a while.
Christmas is coming soon, and my mother still didn't go home. Amin, who has run out of money, can only buy milk at the lowest discount for a day at the entrance of the supermarket.
When Amin was home holding milk, she saw a girl by the river throwing something into the river. The girl hurried away after seeing Amin.
Amin also tried to contact his mother. He called his mother's company, but was told that his mother had left the job a month ago. According to the address on the envelope, I found my mother's phone number. After the call to
was connected, A Ming realized that his mother would not come back again after remarrying. After
put the microphone down, Aliang was very curious to see Amin's expression, but the director did not give it, and easily let go of the opportunity to ferment his emotions. He is trying his best to keep the film as plain and calm as possible, telling us that life is like this, and it will not slow down because of sadness.
The New Year is here, and Amin bought New Year's cards and asked the saleswoman to help write New Year's wishes on the cards.
also stuffed 1,000 yen in each greeting card, took it home to his younger siblings, and falsely claimed that it was a greeting card sent by his mother.
Kyoko compares the previous greeting cards and finds that the handwriting is different from the previous ones, but it has not been dismantled.
Today is Xiaoxue’s birthday, and she firmly believes that her mother will go home.
I hope Xiaoxue's happy Amin will take her to the station to pick up her mother in the evening. Unexpectedly, when I met the landlord at the top of the stairs, Amin had to lie that this was his cousin and came to spend the night. Fortunately, the landlord had no doubts.
At the gate of the station, Xiaoxue took out the Apollo chocolate that Amin had bought for her before, and there was only one left in it. Amin looked at his sister and did not speak.
They did not wait for their mother. On the way back from
, Amin said to Xiaoxue,
"One day, we will take a train to see the plane."
A series of trams came in from all directions without interruption, and the long lights illuminated Amin again and again. His face, like the light and hope standing in the dark, he is still waiting for his mother's return.
Amin is lonely, distressed, and full of hope.
At this time, Amin was also at a playful age, and he began to enter and exit the game hall.
In spring, Aming finally made some friends. They went to the game hall together, and even played games at Aming's house until midnight.
Once they were playing a game, Xiaomao made trouble and was pushed aside by Amin's friend. Xiaoxue hid behind Kyoko in fright, but Amin didn't say anything when he watched what happened.
Amin’s friendship is already in jeopardy.
One day, Amin's friend stole something in the supermarket and asked Amin to steal some too. Amin looked at the saleswoman in front of him hesitantly, but finally did not start. After
, the friend never contacted him anymore.
Amin tried to save this friendship, so he came to the school to find his friend. The friend said that he had time to go back to him, but after turning around, he and other classmates laughed at Amin's house as smelly like a garbage dump.
On the way home, Amin met the same girl again. The
girl’s shoes are stuffed with flowers, and the card next to it says:
"Saki Mizuguchi’s Tomb."
Amin, who returned home, realized that he could not let his younger brothers and sisters down, he came to the supermarket hoping to find a job , But was told by the saleswoman that she can only work out when she is 16 years old.
Amin, who failed to find a job, counted the remaining money at home. At this time, Kyoko took out the money she saved. Amin said that it was the money you bought the piano. Kyoko shook his head and said it was okay.
may be that the life of not being able to go out is too depressing, and Amin decided to go out with his younger siblings.
They went to the shopping mall and played in the park. This was their happiest day after their mother ran away from home.
They found the seed of the flower in a flower on the side of the road. Take them home and plant them in instant noodle bowls with their names written on them. The kind of
is themselves.
They should have withered early in the unattended and unshaded streets, but they are growing up instinctively. The flowers growing on the balcony seem to say that miracles will happen in this small room.
In a blink of an eye, summer has arrived.
Because there is no money to pay, the water and electricity at home have been cut off. Amin had to take his younger siblings to a nearby park to fetch water for use.
was there, and Amin found that the girl named Saxi often sat in a daze on the park bench.
once, because Xiaomao and Saxi talked, broke the silence. They played games together on the stone steps back home.
Saxi was also invited to visit their home.
But when she came home, she was shocked by the sight in front of her. The room was full of rubbish, and Saxi did not shrink back. She went to the balcony and sat down. She probably had the same loneliness and indifference by the world. Saxi gradually merged with this family.
Amin has a different kind of affection for Saxi. He picks out one of his fairly clean clothes to see Saxi, and also goes to the park to wash his hair.
Saxi bought a bottle of drink for Amin and asked,
"When is your mother coming back?"
Amin said casually,
"She will never be back."
He thought about it again and said,
"May not be back."
took the drink Saxi bought, and Amin was very happy. Even though he drank it long ago, he kept the bottle cap carefully.
has no money at home. In order to ensure the family's meals, Amin had to go to the supermarket to pick up sushi that was about to expire.
One day, the landlord came to collect the rent. Only Xiaoxue, Kyoko and Saxi were in the house. They lied that their mother was on a business trip to Osaka and would not come back temporarily. The landlord of
walked away suspiciously.
Seeing them desperate, Saxi decided to help. She sang karaoke with the middle-aged man, but Amin saw him. Amin felt that Saxi did something wrong.
Amin did not receive the money Saxi gave him. He ran like an adult on the street for the first time-
although he was already alive as an adult. The
street is bustling, but the sound of running footsteps is particularly clear in all kinds of noises, beating the world one after another, seeming to complain, seem to be crying, and there seems to be no end to the running.
The little self-esteem that A Ming accumulated day by day was also crushed by the last hope.
Midsummer is coming, Xiaomao uses all the water from his home to water the flowers on the balcony, and Amin is very angry when he finds out.
turned around, he walked to his mother's closet and wanted to sell her mother's clothes. Kyoko stepped forward to stop him, and hid in the closet, closing the closet door to prevent Amin from approaching, as if doing so, mother was still in her Around.
Angrily, Amin walked out of the house to relax.
When Amin was playing a baseball game, the film was nearing the end. Aliang sighed, thinking that this arrangement was to tell me that they would eventually realize each of their dreams. Reading, pianist, painter, baseball player .
However, it turns out that everything is just a paving, just a paving for Xiaoxue's death.
Xiaoxue stood on a chair to close the sliding door after Amin walked out of the house, but accidentally fell down, unconscious.
Amin came home and saw Xiaoxue lying on the ground. He tried to contact his mother but failed. In desperation, he stole some medicine from the pharmacy, but when he returned home, Xiaoxue had no breath.
Amin finds Saxi, hoping to get her help.
He was going to take Xiaoxue to see the plane. They bought a lot of Apollo chocolates from the supermarket.
In the evening, Koyuki was placed in the suitcase when he first came. Amin and Saxi left with the suitcases. Kyoko and Xiaoshige watched them on the balcony.
Shahi's living environment is different from that of his brothers and sisters, but they are also abandoned children. BeThe abandoned child and the abandoned child are now going to abandon another child.
Amin and Saxi took Xiaoxue to a riverside near the airport. The occasional roar of planes in the sky covered the sound of them burying Xiaoxue. In the scene of
burying his sister, Amin murmured that he was in a bad mood.
Aliang was thinking, if he was facing Kyoko or Amao, Amin would not be able to express his words. These emotions can only be bitter to outsiders. So Saxi took on this mission.
Seeing this, Aliang was already in tears, and most people would think that their behavior was abnormal and that they could continue to live as if nothing was wrong. But what touched me most is precisely this final arrangement. Life is like this. Even if the person you love the most leaves, life still has to go on, for the dead and for the living.
The next morning, facing the dawn of Wei Xi, two mud-covered Amin and Saxi took the first tram and returned home. The song "Treasures" rang in
's ears,
"The late spring light makes people take a deep breath... I grow up gradually, and no one can get close..."
did not sensationalize and shout, but Let all the characters endure and endure together, together with the audience.
At the end of the story, Saxi joined Amin's family. They still ate sushi that was about to expire in the supermarket, and ran to the park to collect water, still living an unknowing life.
After watching this film, Al Liang almost collapsed. The mood of the
movie is not cold, the large-scale images are all left to the daily fun of the four children getting along. The green plants grown in the instant noodle bowl on the balcony of
, Xiao Mao secretly crossed the border to pick up toys and play with his little pride, Xiaoxue’s squeaky little red leather shoes, Kyoko’s beautiful red piano, and sunshine, transparent and warm everywhere. sunlight.
From beginning to end, a few children never shed a single tear. Even when A Liang recalled deeply again, they rarely wrinkled their brows. The children are like this. The life is hard, it seems that it has nothing to do with them, snacks, amusement park , Mini games, is the greatest happiness.
But there is no money, no food, no friends, no work, younger brothers and sisters are too young, everything is so ordinary, so inconspicuous, it seems commonplace, but slowly everything is superimposed, the kind of gradual approach The depression, anxiety, panic, and suffocation suddenly tightened.
But I thank the director Hirokazu Edema. Compared with reality, the story he showed us is too warm.
As suggested at the beginning of the film, the film is adapted from the 1988 Nishisuga baby abandoned incident in Japan.
In January 1988, a mother in Nishi-Sugamo, Tokyo, lived with her boyfriend, leaving the eldest son (14 years old), second son (age unknown), eldest daughter (7 years old), second daughter (3 years old) and third daughter (2 Years old) at home. The five children had no household registration and did not go to school. Later, the two-year-old three daughters were beaten to death for stealing the cup noodles of their eldest son friend A. The eldest son also participated in the assault. Later, the eldest son and friend B buried the body in a park in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture.
In July of the same year, the neighbor found that only children lived in the house for a long time and called the police. The eldest son, eldest daughter, and second daughter were severely malnourished. He also found the body of the second son who had died of illness and was hidden in a cupboard. The mother was charged with abandoning and hurting her children and was sentenced to three years in prison but suspended for four years. After that, she brought her two daughters back home from the protection center.
The 14-year-old eldest son was found guilty of hurting to death and abandoning his body and was sent to a juvenile training institution. Friends A and B were also sent to different training institutions.
, who just graduated from Waseda University that year, saw the news, and started to write a script based on this incident, which was completed that year. However, it took 15 years to start making this movie. In the middle of
, Zhi Yuhe had made documentaries on TV and made three films. His life has changed several times, but the Nissuya incident has never been erased from his memory.
Therefore, today's "Nobody Knows" is available.
is Hirokazu Kee, who is cruel. He cruelly tore open the dark side of the world to the world.
But he is also warm. He injects vitality into the children in the film, gives them a rare perseverance character, has the courage to bear the sufferings of life, and finds meaning in life in a broken life..
