A Review of Goodbye Nara

This is a warm-hearted Sino-Japanese cooperative film.

In a word:

In 2005, when her granddaughter was studying in Japan, the old lady China went to Japan to find her adopted daughter who had not returned for ten years. In Japan, I met a kind Japanese retired policeman to help me, and the three of them embarked on the road of finding relatives together.

The background of the story:

During World War II, the Japanese sent 330,000 peasants to the northeast of China for immigration aggression. After the defeat of Japan, the pioneering group was abandoned by the military and fled on a large scale. More than 4,000 Japanese children stayed in China and were adopted by local families. 1972, China and Japan established diplomatic relations and issued many policies to welcome Japanese orphans back to China. This is the environment in which the story unfolds.

Tell me about the content:

Grandma Chen went to Japan with all the information about her daughter Lihua: several letters, a photo, a painting and a China name. With the development of clues, the audience was brought into the whole environment of finding relatives, and their mood fluctuated with the plot.

Let's talk about the simplest thing first: before my granddaughter went to Japan, she actually helped her grandmother find the address in the letter. As a result, because the letter was a few years ago, the address no longer exists. Therefore, when Grandma Chen arrived in Japan, the road to finding relatives became tortuous.

Turn around.

Fortunately, from Grandma Chen's words, we learned that Grandpa Chen gave a phone number to a Japanese association, that is to say, if you call Chen Lihua's association at that time, you should be able to successfully find your relatives.

However, when the granddaughter took Grandma Chen to find an orphan who survived the harsh Japanese environment for information, the orphan had no news of Chen Lihua at all. Moreover, he repeatedly stressed that if there is no Japanese name, how can you find relatives in Japan? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Looking at the Japanese orphans who are over half a century old, it is so difficult to survive in Japanese territory, which also implies that the road to finding relatives has become confusing again.

Turning point two

When the two granddaughters came to the restaurant exhausted, they met a kind Japanese retiree who often went there. After seeing Chen Lihua's photos, he expressed his willingness to help them, but he was worried that they would refuse me, so he lied about knowing Chen Lihua.

The next day, he took his two granddaughters to a police friend, hoping to help find Lihua through his personal connections.

But the police friend promised him when he was drunk, and after a drink at the reception, he was completely unconscious until he was carried away on a stretcher. At this time, all three people knew that hope was hopeless. Even the audience felt that what they were entrusted with was inhuman (but, in fact, when I saw this, I already judged that this policeman friend would definitely help. Don't ask me why, it's intuition. )

Turn three times

When the audience saw this, almost all of them had a heart, hoping that the plot would be reversed. Sure enough, the screenwriter is really good. The search scope of clues has shifted from photos, old addresses and China's name to the contents of the letter: retired police officers hope to find traces through the contents of the letter. Many things happen. In the letter, they found that Lihua had rented the house to her master. The hostess was unwilling to admit it at first. Later, she explained why she didn't want to admit it: Lihua came to Japan because she couldn't speak that language. After renting her house, she has been in debt. The proprietress sympathized with her and let her do odd jobs in the shop. One day, she was wronged by the proprietress and was driven away. ...

The fourth round

Finally, some clues were broken again. With the deepening of the film, when everyone didn't know how it would develop, the retired police gave hope. After careful consideration, he decided to look for clues from this letter. This time, they found a mute who was also an orphan through a painting. From his mouth, everyone knows that Lihua and he are friends, and Lihua lived here for some time. However, due to the failure of finding relatives, she needs to embark on another path of finding relatives. In this way, the clue is broken again. ...

Turn five times

The car looking for relatives, turning around the mountain road, all three were exhausted, silent, thinking and helpless ... At this moment, the retired policeman received a phone call: it was a police friend who thought he was inhuman last time (the audience felt that this should be a real turning point, and there must be news). Unexpectedly, the result is: Chen Lihua died a few years ago.

Round 6 (climax and end)

When the film arrived here, everyone's face was full of helplessness. Everyone thought it would end, and finally they couldn't find their relatives. However, just after her granddaughter began to devote herself to normal life and work, one day she received a phone call saying that she knew the whereabouts of Lihua.

The granddaughter left her job again, and the three of them went to look for it again. In the crowded Japanese sacrificial activities, Grandma Chen walked eagerly and ran to look for it ... but after searching in the crowd, she still couldn't see the adopted daughter who called Qian Qian 10,000 times in her heart. ...

The film ended with Teresa Teng's singing. ...

Talking about actors:

Starring: In the film, she plays mother Chen who went to China to find her relatives. The name may not be clear to everyone, but if I say a movie, you may remember her deeply, that is "Love Letter between Beijing and Seattle". Born in drama, acting seems effortless to her. At a certain age in Seattle, she performed a girl's heart, and many plots of this film can also show her innocent and romantic girl's heart.

Beautiful comments:

There are too many beautiful scenes in this movie. What impressed me the most was the third picture in the above picture, which really attracted me because the time of the picture was too short. In order to take a smooth screenshot, I went around several times and finally got a satisfactory picture: this is the way for them to continue looking for their loved ones after leaving the deaf. A clear water, as quiet as a mirror, is surrounded by dealers scattered everywhere. In the distance, there are looming mountains and traffickers, dark green and light green trees, and looming mountains, which are layered on top of each other; The most striking thing is the persimmon tree nearby. Red persimmons are hanging on the trees. Because there are no leaves, red is particularly prominent in the whole picture.

After reading the book review, I still feel that I have a lot to say. For example, the picture of Grandma Chen buying mutton in the film makes people laugh. Grandma Chen and a retired policeman are making handmade warm pictures on the bench; For example, Grandma Chen was very anxious when her granddaughter's boyfriend went to her residence to get something, and suddenly a series of Russian pictures broke out. ...

Really laughed a few times, depressed a few times. Is this a big ups and downs?
