Ryohei Watanabe, the director who won the Fukuoka Independent Film Festival Feature Film Award and Best Picture Award for his first feature film "A Smart Dog Doesn't Bark but Laugh", and the second feature film "Cinderella with Pitch Change" "It's also in theaters recently.
"The Smart Dog Doesn't Bark but Laugh" During the screening, Huang Yixi finished watching this movie and said that this movie is a mixture of several movie types , if you describe this movie as a variety of movies Rather than say that it is based on the audience’s unpreparedness of the type from the default, or abrupt turn, or the seamless connection of various types.
Fairy tales and reality
For me, I do feel the director’s kinky and unobtrusive skill. Just like a friend asked me, what is "Cinderella in Pitch"?
It’s hard to put it all in one word. About love, parenting, and childhood trauma is mentioned in the film. The latter part of the plot even leads to the thriller pattern, and the process of watching the movie is like washing. The sauna is sometimes sweet, sometimes heavy, and finally makes you scream.
He is not perfect. I think the links between the previous and the next stories can be more detailed and complete. , but it is still a very well-completed film.
Cinderella is a familiar fairy tale, but real life is not equal to a fairy tale after all, and the director did not plan to shoot a fairy tale. The director tells you from the title that this is a non-fairy tale, "Cinderella" I was rescued by the prince and lived a happy life ever since." , there are already too many idol dramas to copy and paste. The director wants to shoot an anti-traditional, anti-type dark fairy tale, or a more realistic and more realistic Humanly true story.
If Cinderella meets the prince, at first it is so romantic and flawless. As the two get together, they finally discover the secret of the prince, even the secret of the little princess, that secret Maybe there are some similarities with her life or memories , but some are far beyond the that her life experience can load and carry. How will she face it, and how should she continue?
But life is far different from fairy tales. In the world of fairy tales, the prince and princess will be happily together, but in real life, if the prince and princess ignore the family’s firewood, the relationship will still fall apart, The so-called fairy tales cannot be considered deceptive, but after all, they are unrealistic.
In love,We often ask ourselves whether we love someone or not. We may always question ourselves over time. This love was strong at first, and finally became plain again for some reason, , but often we just saw the end and didn’t go. Investigate why the dull process.
How to love someone?
The selling point of the movie seems to be the handsome male protagonist Daigo (played by Kei Tanaka) and the sweet heroine Koharu (played by Tsuchiya Taiho) and their love, but the bigger point is that they once Entering the marriage, can those promises come true , if not, how can this marriage continue? This is actually the biggest test for this newlywed couple.
I really like Watanabe Ryohei's storytelling method, which also acts as a director. He uses a slow and gradual way of , slowly spreading out the psychological wrinkles of the two Ple, mother is the biggest motif of the film, the unpleasant experience of getting along with mother.
Whether it is those childhood shadows that are slapped or abandoned, has become the fence they are eager to get rid of and surpass when they become adults. "Mother" and "I can't seem to get rid of the shadow demon that my mother brought to me."
Marriage is never a matter of two people,In the movie "KISS Lover", it has been said that , marriage seems to be a marriage of two people, but it is actually a marriage of two families. The two are mixed with their own life experiences, with their own living habits, how different are they? Seeking common ground, and tolerating and accepting each other's differences, is the business wisdom that needs to be learned after a lover becomes a family member.
This film is based on the existence of Dawu’s daughter Hikaru, and sometimes pushes the distance between father and mother when she gets closer, and throws a heavy test question to the stepmother Xiaochun, "Span6span, you are "A mother is an established fact, but can you really do it to "be" an (ideal) mother?
Including what the mother-in-law said to Xiaochun, Does a person who lacks maternal love since childhood will have maternal love? These words are like a curse, these little actions are like provocations, step by step loosening her unbreakable confidence, until she is also lying on track like the original Dawu, but this time Dawu picked her up and let her go home for a while After calming down, Xiaochun learned another important topic in his life, To love a person is to love everything about him.
Learn to tolerate
This may all include your daughter who is actually a little devil. Your husband will growl like Jingtao even after his gentleness is exhausted, and he won’t even listen to your 6span. strong_strong may all be the vow you said to make your family happy.
Because you don’t want to make your husband angry anymore, and you don’t want to see your daughter shed tears . So, the fairy tale Yu Yan changed the tone, Cinderella is no longer Cinderella, but we are finally a family.
Those similar eyes and left ear, aren’t they proof that blood is thicker than water? I admire the director for breaking the audience’s stereotyped imagination of a perfect ending, and giving an unconventional, sounding ending. Actress Tsuchiya Taiho’s precise, delicate and explosive interpretation , more Grasp your eyes throughout the process, attracting you to see the end step by step.
Maybe this is what the movie tells us. In a family, if you just care about who pays more and who pays less, you may end up with only care, and often The most important love in the family will also leave oneself.
Thank you for watching, follow me and learn more about it.
