The bitterness of the Family: the Flavor of Eel Rice

I watched the suffering of the Family again, and I like it more than the Tokyo Family, the Little Home, or even my Brother. Maybe I still like the popular comedy that director Yamada is good at, and the song "The Story of Yojiro" has haunted me for a long time. However, the "family suffering" is closer, and many of the small details are very real.

is close and true. For example, Don's life is like a fish in water in a familiar environment, and he feels at ease that he has good companions, plays ball and drinks together, has a fixed tavern, and has a familiar landlady who can make fun of. The old lady at home went to the cultural center to learn to write novels. This reminds people of my parent's life. My father also lives his own little life happily, while my mother likes to go to the geriatric center to learn to sing and learn Sing, and so on. They have regular singing parties, and most of the pianists are retired from the theatrical troupe. The party is held in the old building behind an old vegetable market. There is a live chicken and duck shop downstairs, cackling, and there are gorgeous bananas on the side of the road. This is the real township version, of course, not as elegant as in the movie, but I like this side of my parents very much.

the Don went home flushed from the pub, opened the door, and entered the porch, which was a warm family atmosphere. The family members went their ways, the daughter-in-law was busy on the stove, the two grandsons were having dinner, and his wife was sitting on the sofa with flowers. This scene is really happy. Like many families, fortunately, or unfortunately, may have had such a similar scene. I like the sound of the doorbell, the porch, the sound of walking on the wooden stairs, the bright floor, and the tidy and orderly room of the old man, full of content and age. Everything has a heavy sense of life in the movie, the doorbell of the Haitian family, the porch of their house, the sound of walking on the wooden stairs, the bright floor, and the neat and orderly room full of content and age. The flavor of life in the movie is so strong that it seems that people can smell eel rice on the screen.

stairs, like this kind of decoration, compared with those light Japanese decorations in China, this kind of decoration looks good.

two old rooms. I like this kind of old-fashioned bed with a shelf at the head of the bed, but it's a pity I can't buy it.

at the family reunion, one of the lines of Sora also has a sense of substitution. "although I have a brother, he is very cold. In my family, there is no chance for so many people to get together and talk about things seriously. " This is the director is a very powerful place, how can extract such a sentence ah! Because there is such a situation around me. Then there was the old lady's summary of the old man's shortcomings at the family meeting, "I have recently begun to hate your father, for example, making a rumbling noise at the sink in the morning, especially noisy." After taking off his underwear and socks, your father always throws them into the laundry basket. I hate it. I've said it many times, but he hasn't changed a bit. " This is a real marriage. Indeed, marriage is not about happiness every day, nor is it full of quarrels and feathers, and what the old lady said are the more annoying aspects of marriage, but the good aspects of marriage always make people overcome these annoyances. But in the final analysis, it's just a marriage.

the family meeting ended with my father's sudden stroke. There is no eternal happiness. The happiness you have now will be lost sooner or later. For example, every time I go back to my hometown village, I will see every change in the village, each time it is different, people are gradually passing away, how many families are falling apart, there is nothing sadder than this. A young mother, an aunt who is usually close to my family, was found to have advanced lung cancer a few days ago. Aunt is the backbone of their family, if she is gone, it will be very difficult for her children to get together. The older you get, the more sorrow you have to accept. And one of my mother's cousins, her 23-year-old son, got drunk and walked into the river the day before yesterday. It's very tragic.

Our stunning wedding dresses with bling are absolutely unmissable. Our collections are a perfect demonstration of a high taste.

although the suffering of the Family is a comedy, it vaguely reveals the sadness of being a human being. While the father is still in treatment, the son and son-in-law are already talking about the funeral. The sufferings and joys of the family are readily available in Yamada. In contrast to the sufferings of his family, the little brother who especially likes to deliver eels looks a bit like Woo Meiqing and has a sense of fun. he sings the song "The Story of Yojiro" while riding the delivery car, as well as the family routine of marriage with his wife Mula. It feels like passing through from the Story of Yojiro. I feel that this section is a bit divine, and the happy and warm songs reverberating in the streets and alleys make people feel like the director went back to his early years and liked this paragraph more than paying tribute to Ozu, as if the director paid homage to himself, a kind of return. The actor of this eel takeout boy doesn't know his name. He always feels familiar and has seen him somewhere, but he can't remember it. It seems to be "redfish" or "spark". In short, he looks like a funny artist.

there are a few details of flower arrangement that I like very much. For the flower arrangement in different seasons in the creation classroom, small yellow chrysanthemums are placed in white porcelain vases in autumn, and camellia is colder in the weather. By the way, the old lady in the Tokyo Family is going to learn haiku. When I watched the Tokyo Family, I thought of Li Cangdong's "Poems", and the look of the old lady listening to the teacher's lecture was very similar to that of the people who wrote poems in the "Poetry" middle school. Sora also likes to go to the concert hall to find his husband, Muong, and the glass bottle in the window of the reception room is filled with small daisies of white and purple. Whether people in a country have a clean and elegant life is always reflected in these small details.

of course, I like the ending very much. I watch Ozu in the rain and then go to sleep. If this film applies the title of Ozu, it can be called "the taste of eel rice." the high-grade eel rice takeout ordered at the family meeting is delicious and overflowing with fragrance, but after the old man fell and his family dispersed, no one ate the eel, leaving the smell of eel floating in the house, full of bitterness. The joy of the family and the pain of the family are probably just like the taste of eel rice.
