Family movie "deeper than the sea" is the consistent style of the works of Yuwa Ebisu, an ordinary Japanese family story, but tells a lot of life truth, bland to the point of tears, life is never easy, do not think too much unrealistic things, live in the present, love can be loved, life has to go on, ordinary life contains the truth of life. At the same time, the warmth of the family film with bitterness, and the step is a bit similar, but a little more bitter, waves of life narrative style, but inadvertently the bitterness and touched to pass out.
Light and warm, Deeper Than the Sea is both an unrequited love for the past and a farewell to it. Deeper Than the Sea" is like being in the middle of a quiet forest, with a breeze blowing, the leaves rustling with the wind, but feeling that the breeze brings unusual power in the forest. Life, details, subtlety. It turns out that life can be so expressive, it turns out that it can be so empathetic! The lovely and wise grandmother's simple yet highly philosophical words are precisely a life lesson. The bond between a family of three is immovable on the surface but turbulent in the heart. There is also the grandfather who has passed away, leaving behind his thoughts about his family. Even if life is plain and simple, it contains infinite power. The night the typhoon came, did you feel it?
We are always trying to get rid of the influence from our families, trying to break into our own world, but unknowingly, we always revert back to a similar path, and every mark can be searched for the shadow of the gene. Throughout our lives, we cannot find a love deeper than the sea, but in fact it always exists in our own blood. Pursuing happiness in sadness, trying to survive in a dull life, the bond between people is the power deeper than the sea.
Maybe some people feel that this movie has more than enough warmth and not enough thickness, the movie is as flat as water, and not sweet. Emotional treatment is not delicate and moving, and constantly relies on the smart mouth to tease the audience, however, it does not help the drama itself. Maybe it's just those who are getting more and more vulgar and can't appreciate the recent years of Yuwa's movies. But I really don't think he's gotten any better over the years, or maybe those people are just getting more and more vulgar. However, from beginning to end did not see the hero what feelings deeper than the sea, only to see a tall man scum, obscene embarrassment of life. The most ridiculous thing is that the director of the end of the stolen inkstone pawning valuation steep and rich plot setting.
Compared with its predecessor, "Like Father, Like Son," it lacks drive and suspense, and its broken reminiscences of the past make it a very bad movie. There are so many lines that it's annoying, the interspersed empty scenes should be increased to ease the atmosphere, and also the old woman's performance is a huge act, which is out of character to watch. The biggest feature of the whole movie is that there is no feature, natural as the next door gossip, although very real, equally boring. With the traditional literary film that set, relying purely on the audience's personal experience to appreciate the film, may not have reached the age of the true meaning of the movie will really understand, I think the whole film is weak, digging out the hidden in the small details of the wisdom, perhaps people to the middle-aged to see will be more appreciated it.
In any case, "deeper than the sea" the core of the story is only a night, the body is a hundred kinds of life, small to see the big, life is such a little by little, this kind of subject matter is also the strength of the Japanese, the branch of the Yu and always able to immobilize the daily life of the bitterness and regrets depicted as a cloudy and light-hearted look. A small gathering of divorced families, no gain nor loss, everything is still the same, just like that typhoon, what's meant to be will still come. Subtle and moving literary sketches, Japanese painting style modeling, everyone's performances are unmarked, no matter how life goes, affection flows quietly.
This one returns to the "Step by Step" kind of big sound. Tears and laughter flew in many places, marveling at his sensitivity to the details of everyday life. The mother-son scene with Uncle Kuan was as natural as a real mother and son, and the tears that welled up in the old woman's eyes when she heard her grandson say he was getting a big house to take her grandmother to live with him were super moving. The dream of a family of three picking up lottery tickets on the night of a typhoon moments bound to each other is a divine tear-jerker. In Japan, where the number of children is decreasing, affection has become more delicate and difficult to express, and that sticky emotion, deeper than the sea, sometimes really needs a typhoon day to be swept away.
The movie's title comes from a line in Teresa Teng's '87 song "Farewell Premonition"? Deeper than the sea, bluer than the sky? , a mother says to her son, to whom she has not expressed ? My love for you is deeper than the sea? and the son claimed that he had said it, but in fact the mother just hadn't said it but hadn't never encountered it. The mother's words? I should be sorry? is so tender that it brings tears to her eyes. Yuzuru Ibushi has made a universe out of the everyday, and it makes you addicted to the self-touching feeling you get when you find those contrasts that are not the same as the ones you find. Life changes, and we are happy or sad because of those deviations from the plan.
Sparse conversation, from time to time, let a person easily laugh, in the subtle experience of life's helplessness and fun, or in the warmth of the feeling of bitterness. The more daily life fragments of the interception of the more memorable philosophical, recognize their own and recognize others, step by step daily, deeper than the sea of emotions, is still as plain as water and contains the flavors of mankind is Ebisuyu, obviously just a butterfly dancing in the breeze, but the heart is like a landfall of typhoons, the wind and rain after the take away and can not be taken away, all airing out once again, this is life. The old man's premonition of the sadness of the world, the last dialog between mother and son is really tearful, deeper than the sea, but is a long flowing feelings and ties.
