Foreword: "Summer of Kikujiro" is the eighth film directed by Takeshi Kitano. It is a road film with a warm theme, which is very different from the usual violence and depression of Takeshi Kitano's previous works. The film was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 52nd Cannes Film Festival, and nominated for the best film at the 23rd Japan Film Academy Awards. The actress Katoko Kishimoto won the 23rd Japan Film Academy Awards for her outstanding performance in the film. In the Best Supporting Actress Award, Joe Hisaishi won the Best Soundtrack Award. The
film mainly tells the story of a lonely boy Zhengnan who lost his parents' love since he was a child and embarks on a journey to find his mother. By coincidence, the unreliable man Jujiro got involved in the adventure of Jeongnam, and accompanied him on the road of finding relatives, helping him out of the gloom of his soul and growing himself. The film
constructs a more pure and sincere narrative time and space, and expresses the examination of the adult world through the perspective of children. On this basis, dispelled the tragic element of the story with a comic narrative, and showed warmth and full human comfort through the mutual influence and mutual comfort between Masao and the people around him.
Today I will analyze and analyze what major changes have taken place in the film "Kikujiro's Summer" in the film "Kikujiro's Summer". In my opinion, Kikujiro has experienced three major changes from hiding himself, discovering himself, and returning to himself. In the fourth part, I will combine Kikujiro's story of helping Masaru find his mother and the behavior of the little boy to analyze its thinking and enlightenment on our family and life.
01, the first stage "hiding oneself": Kikujiro seeks self-protection with swear words and self-righteousness, and hides the tenderness and warmth deep in his heart.
In a boring summer, watching his classmates go on vacation with their parents , Zheng Nan, who has been missing his father's love and mother's love since childhood, misses his parents more. By chance, Zheng Nan found his mother's photo and address in a drawer at home, and Zheng Nan decided to go to his mother alone.
The childhood without parents is definitely very lonely. The positive man lives with his grandmother, always bowing his head, with countless loneliness between his brows, making people want to hug the little boy gently.
The kind-hearted neighbour aunt learned about it and decided to let the idle husband Kikujiro take Masao to Aichi Prefecture to meet his mother, and gave a part of the travel expenses, but the gangster soon spent the travel expenses given by his wife, so he started with Masao. Stumbled all the way to find her mother.
had to take a ride on foot because he lost money in gambling along the way. He secretly drove the taxi away. He had no background but had to get a ridiculous tattoo. He knew not to swim but he liked to put on airs and was refused to ride a ride. He secretly smashed the glass of the car to retaliate, stealing other people’s food, putting nails on the road in order to stop the car, and being beaten at the temple fair to take advantage of the small advantage...
Indeed, Kikujiro was ignorant and doing nothing. Extrinsic methods such as bullying and fearing hardship, caressing, being small-minded, loving revenge, and taking advantage of others, give full play to the "shameless" spirit of self-protection to hide the true self. But this seemingly inconsistent and bad uncle also has his tender and warm side. When
was tricked into the park by a perverted gay guy in Zhengnan to perform awkward behavior, the uncle went up to him without any room, his nose was swollen and blood was flowing; when he bought a swimsuit in the hotel, he bought a set of children's swimsuits for him, with him. Experience swimming, boat rides, fishing and other interesting things. Although stopped by the hotel staff, Masao experienced games he had never experienced before. During the
journey, they met a couple who were in love. Sister Orange and her boyfriend happily play with the boyfriend. The uncle did not show any impatient or anxiousness, and played alone by himself. Sister Orange's mother Aifa performed the acrobatics of three oranges as a boy, gave the boy a school bag with angel wings, and let her boyfriend perform a robot doll dance, making the boy happy like a real child.
In my opinion, the Zhengnan being protected, experiencing interesting games, laughing unscrupulously, etc., should have been acquired by the Zhengnan from his family, but the situation of the Zhengnan only allows him to be from people outside his family. Get on.
at the bus stop that can't wait for the busHere, Kikujiro said to himself: "It turns out that he is just like me."
can’t help making the audience wonder about his childhood, what happened to him, and how he possessed the current character and temperament. Will he be in his childhood, and once ran away to find his mother in a certain summer, and what happened in the end? return?
02, the second stage "discovering oneself": Kikujiro faced his childhood trauma for the first time, his thoughts began to waver, and his behavior began to change. After
finally met his mother in a thousand miles in the south of Zhengnan, looking at the people he wanted to meet, and talking softly to other children, Zhengnan walked away sadly with tears. Uncle
, in order to make Zhengnan happy, saw someone else’s angel bell, a token of love given by his girlfriend, but still forcibly blackmailed him and told Zhengnan: As I said, your mother moved away, just in case you might When you come back to look for her, she left this Angel of Ling. When you are unhappy, you shake it, and an angel will come to you.
In my opinion, this uncle who likes to speak foul language actually has an angel in his heart. The uncle seems to have changed himself, and he has meticulous care and company for Zhengnan. At this time, Zhengnan took the uncle's hand for the first time, walked along the beach, and continued to move forward.
At the temple fair, the uncle played games with the boy without a routine. He used various shameless methods to win prizes for the boy. After the uncle was beaten and injured, he said, "Boy, thank you, sorry, I fell down the stairs." The middle-aged uncle was extremely kind. He has always been arrogant and unreasonable even after being beaten up by social gangsters, he still managed to hold back his laughter and hide his scars from the children.
At this stage, if you just consider "Summer of Kikujiro" as a story of a little boy looking for a mother, it will not be too underestimated by Kitano. It does not have the ups and downs of Agarwood saving her mother, but it contains more ordinary people's unspeakable concealment and joy and anger. Why, it must be called Kikujiro's summer, not Masao looking for his mother, because to a certain extent, it cures the hollowness of adults.
03, the third stage "return to self": Kikujiro completely relieved the pain of the past, and was reborn spiritually, thus making up and completing the missing but extremely important growth process.
Sometimes happiness can be very simple and pure.
On the way back home, the novelist's brother, a big man and a simple and kind-hearted bald guy dressed in society, started camping with them. The uncle let the big guy go into the water to play the role of a fish in the water. The bald guy also dressed up as a cute octopus. The funny appearance made people laugh. To tell the story of aliens to the boy, the big guy really pretended to be an alien. . They also eat the habit of stealing them from the nearby geography. While criticizing them for stealing melons, the uncle ate them happily. He also complained that they were not frozen, which was both funny and humorous.
The adults seem to be younger than the children. They play with the boy and make him happy. Meeting such a few kind people, any kind of sadness will be treated. Masamune smiled, smiling very brightly.
When everyone was having fun, Kikujiro finally plucked up the courage to go to the nursing home to visit his mother, but he still couldn't calmly face the woman who abandoned him, so he just looked at himself through the glass window. Her mother did not bother or step forward to communicate. The eyes behind the glass window were melancholy and silent for less than 1 second, revealing a sense of depression even though she could not speak a thousand words. This young middle-aged uncle's affection for his mother is probably:
I don't know if I love you or not, but I can't hate you, and even at certain moments I really want to see you.
So far, perhaps he had looked for his mother in his childhood, or he had resented his mother, but at that moment his eyes were tearful, and it immediately touched the softest part of the heart. At the end of the film
, at this stage, it shows that Kikujiro began to change his ideas and behaviors. It is such an outcast who chooses to look far away when facing his mother who has abandoned him. He chose to forgive and understand, regardless of whether his decision was made before or changed with Masao. He allCompleted his own salvation, which also further improved the image of Kikujiro. Let us understand his character and his choices.
We met many people as we grew up, and finally walked towards different forks, saying goodbye, "Take care of yourself", and then wave goodbye. On the next road, we will continue to meet more people. Uncle
came back with Masao, Masao asked him: "Uncle, what is your name? Uncle still has that kind of rascal tone: "Kikujiro... hurry up and go." When
sees this, we seem to realize that Kikujiro is He, this summer is warm and moving for Masaru, and for Kikujiro, it is also an unusual journey to experience growth.
Finally, when the journey is over, the little boy’s dream becomes a joyful play scene The uncle also rarely used polite language. They ran happily in the lazy summer sun. The gentleness and kindness from strangers finally broke their long-standing loneliness. The reason why
is so so Many people like it, not only the warmth inside, but also Kitano Takeshi’s comedic approach. There are no long and lengthy lines to express his feelings, no sensational fragments and chicken soup hugs to stimulate emotions. Everything comes naturally with the story. The development is very refreshing.
04, based on the clue of "Kikujiro's Summer" as a positive man looking for a mother, tells the story of Kikujiro’s psychological growth from hiding, discovering, and returning to the three stages, and talk about the film to me Some thoughts on family education and growth.
"Summer of Kikujiro" does not have much dialogue. It gives people the most direct feeling of truth. In my opinion, the whole movie is more like a group portrait of small people. Individuals are waste materials, small people, and do not have any eulogizing characteristics, but in Kitano Takeshi’s movies, they have different charms and different thinking. Through the movies,
has also inspired my family, parents, and The thinking between children, this kind of thinking is mainly reflected in the following two aspects:
① A good family atmosphere is conducive to the shaping of a good personality for the child. In the film
, the boy lived with his mother-in-law since childhood. The mother-in-law prepares meals every day because he is busy with work. Just let Zhengnan eat alone. Zhengnan is often alone at home. In the long run, Zhengnan's personality is introverted, and his face is almost without the innocent smile that children of the same age should have. According to 2019 data, in China, every year has been More than 6 million couples choose to end their marriage, and more than one-third of them have a child under the age of 6.
psychologists said: divorce hurts their children far more than parents imagine Of the more than a dozen children, four of them may experience anxiety, anger, academic regression, and low self-image ten years after their parents’ divorce. Half of them may be in adulthood. Poor performance in school or work, even low self-esteem, full of complaints
How to build a good family atmosphere? I will introduce one by one from these three aspects.
First of all, attach importance to parent-child communication and often carry out parent-child communication activities;
parents should regularly exchange ideas and feelings with their children, and carry out parent-child communication activities. Parents and children can communicate what happened to the child, parent, or others. If the child encounters difficulties in life or study, parents should help the child solve the difficulties.
Don’t simply reprimand your child in conversation. Be good at spotting the bright spots in your child. As long as your child shows a certain strength (especially when it first appears), you should praise it until you develop a habit and become his character.
Don’t rush to your child’s shortcomings. To correct a bad habit, you must replace it with a good one. There are many skills in communication. Parents can only gradually master them through continuous reflection and accumulation of experience in practice.
Secondly, establish an equal and democratic family education and be a close friend of the child;
as a parent can not only satisfy the child's "food, clothing, housing, transportation", and only be the child's "logistics security minister". Parents must not only be aliveIf you care about your child in life, you should also care about her in terms of personality, interpersonal communication, and academic work. You should communicate with her more often, learn to empathize, and be more understanding and tolerant than your heart.
Like the aforementioned daughter, why always like to watch entertaining programs, because of the intense and heavy learning pressure during the week, it is nothing more than the weekend to relax and relax. At the same time, these entertaining programs are also a topic of communication among students. Understand her mood, so that the child will treat you as a close friend, and when she has troubles and difficulties, she will confide to you.
Finally, organize a variety of family activities.
Parents should not only pay attention to the usual nuclear family activities such as eating, watching TV, and walking, but also organize a variety of balanced family activities with their children based on their children's interests and personality.
For example, parents can agree with their children to arrange a relatively fixed time every day or every week for the parent-child exclusive time. During this time, parents and children go to the bookstore to buy books, watch a movie together, and go to the museum together.
creates beautiful memories with children, which can not only help children combine work and rest, relax properly, but also help family members establish close and harmonious family relationships, and promote the healthy growth of children's body and mind.
Conversely, a happy family plays a key role in the healthy growth of children throughout their lives. If a child understands that his father and mother are in love with each other, then the child will have love and warmth in his heart, and the child who lives under love, warmth and tolerance will grow up healthier and warmer.
Psychologists believe that: the family is a factory for creating human characters. As Soong Ching Ling said: "The character and talents of children are, in the final analysis, the most affected by their families, parents, and especially their mothers. When children grow up, society becomes an environment for training them, and schools also play an important role in the development of young people. An important role, but it is the family that leaves an indelible mark on a person." What kind of person a child will become in the future and what kind of character will be formed are determined by the family education environment created by the parents.
② Parents are the best teachers for their children, and companionship is the best education for their children. On the way back in the movie, the uncle met again with the straw hat writer in the field. At the same time, there were two dull fat guys and bald guys. In order to comfort the sad Zhengnan, they plan to conduct a camping activity.
The straw hat man told him stories. The fat guy and the bald guy pretended to be fish in the river. Kikujiro and him were on the swings. They also played the "traffic light" game together (like the "one, two, three," Games like "Wooden") and games that are not named.
Zhengnan showed a long-lost smile, and also got happiness from the game. The company of the uncle and the male straw hat writer and others made Zheng Nan feel warm and joyful, and he can grow up strong.
experts believe that: parental discord is one of the main reasons that hinder the healthy development of children's personality. The family is not harmonious, lacks warmth, gets along with indifference, and does not care about each other. Such children are extremely insecure and caring.
children like
are mostly unconfident in the interaction with others, because of lack of family care, empty heart, children pay special attention to friends, it is easy to act loyally. I have a strong sense of self-protection, and I am very sensitive to other people's views of myself, and are prone to conflicts with others.
So how should parents better accompany their children to grow up healthily? I have these three suggestions:
Method 1: Accompany your children to participate in their daily activities.
Companionship is an interactive relationship. You sit next to your child and watch TV with your child. I don’t think this is accompaniment, because there is no interaction and communication between you. The truly effective companionship is to complete a relationship with your child. Things, such as building blocks together, drawing together, doing handicraft together, and when you encounter difficulties, think of solutions together.
Accompanied by children must be single-minded, not single-minded. Some parents are always doing or thinking about their own things while accompanying their children. Watching TV, chatting on WeChat, or chatting with others is not effective companionship, nor can they make the children feel the happiness of their parents around And happiness.
method2: Accompany the child to give the child necessary help in time.
Children will encounter many setbacks and difficulties in the process of growing up. This is a big problem for children who lack life experience. They need you to calm his nervous and anxious emotions and guide him to deal with these problems. . Helping the child tide over the difficulties is very important for his growth and progress.
Method three: What the child wants is your time, to ensure sufficient time for company.
Statistics from the Pew Research Center in the United States show that the effective time for parents to accompany their children is 21.2 hours per week. In other words, you must have at least three hours a day. If you measure yourself by this standard, can you do it?
"If a child is a seed, then the family is the soil, and the family's psychological atmosphere is air and moisture."
The importance of parents accompanying their children is self-evident. It is easy to have children but difficult to raise children. This is the psychological statement of many parents. Not everyone is born to know how to be a good parent, but bringing children into this world requires parents to spend more experience to grow up with their children. The love and company of parents will be a valuable asset in every child's life.
Conclusion:
"Summer of Kikujiro" is finished, and at the end, Masayo's joy is predicted to predict that he can easily let go of hatred and get rid of his powerlessness in the future, and can grow or become a talent smoothly. After all, what he has to face is the abandonment of his mother, the reality of no father and no mother, and the "sullen" character that has already laid the foundation. It is impossible to predict, only blessings, blessing good men, do not have to be forced into desperation, have already begun to learn to grow up.
Every child is an angel and deserves our gentle treatment. Parents should continuously improve their own quality, set an example for their children in every word and deed, in everything, so that the children will be influenced by good morals. We must constantly absorb new ideas and be smart parents. It is necessary to establish a good family relationship so that children can feel the beauty of life in a warm and harmonious family environment, and promote their physical and mental health.
