French class stopped for a week, so I took advantage of my French class to watch a very comfortable film-Little Forest.
This quiet and alone food film has calmed my complicated mind which is difficult to calm down recently. Regardless of my feelings, let's take a look at this film first.
komori village-located in the northeast of Japan. There are no fashionable products of modern civilization, only endless fields and forests. Shizi grew up here with her mother, who left without saying goodbye one day. After the city, I went to the big city to fight hard. I didn't cut through the thorns, but I fled back to Komori with a tired body.
With the memory of cooking left by my mother, I began to cook at sunrise in Komori and rest at sunset, but my life was full and serious. From winter to summer, from autumn to spring, nature has different fruits at different times, and delicious food comes one after another. Shizi found a unique way to communicate with her mother from the delicious food, and also found the meaning of her real life in the company of friends. < P > This is a simple movie with no plot. You just need to listen to the gentle bgm and Hashimoto Ai's sweet voice-over. It's as simple as that. All the plots are Hashimoto Ai hoeing, sowing, cooking and eating. But that life hits you right in the heart.
First of all, Komori's scenery. Every frame is cut down like an oil painting. This is the feeling of living in a painting.
Then there is food. This movie is called "Japan on the tip of the tongue", which shows how attractive its food is.
For example, if it is hot in summer, have a glass of cold wine. Because it is sweet, cool and delicious, you always make more.
When the walnuts are ripe in autumn, mash the walnuts and stew them in rice to make fragrant walnut rice balls.
When my own vegetables are ripe, I eat them with French cooking, just to find the same taste as my mother's cooking.
Use ripe Elaeagnus Elaeagnus to make jam and spread it on your own baked bread.
sun dried persimmons and dried radishes in winter, and then cut them into shreds for cold salad, which is sweet, greasy and refreshing.
I had a whim. I baked Indian scones with unfermented dough and served them with thick Indian curry rice. It made my mouth water.
creative noodles
and so on, I think I should list them all. Besides, it's a sin to watch these at night.
But every delicious food comes with its own recipe, so everyone can learn to cook it. For example, I really want to try walnut rice, and I heard that the same chestnut rice is also delicious. Anyway, no food will let you down.
On the other hand, some of these delicacies are the mother's handiwork, and some are the city's own creativity. It is really enviable to cook delicious food with your own hands every day to please yourself.
But you can only eat what you do. Every day, the city cultivates, harvests and waters the land with its own sweat.
Work alone, eat alone and live alone. This is every day in the city. But compared with the life in the city, this leisure is incomparable. Working in the city, eating instant noodles every day, the bill is so heavy that the supervisor will condemn it, even if he doesn't have to worry about his own life, he just needs to throw dirty clothes to his wife, have food when he is hungry and complain every day. But what about Masuko? Not only this heavy work, but also all the meals and clothes have to be cooked by herself. It is reasonable to say that she is more tired.
Because of the suffocating life in the city, the city chose to return to Komori, a place that is human and natural.
After watching each film, everyone has different ideas. Now I want to talk about my own views:
These two days, I have been in an unstable mood, thinking about something before and something after, and everything has no answer. I even want to escape from the crowd, go to a place where no one knows me, stay for two days, and seriously think about my own days.
So, this movie came before my eyes, living alone?
It doesn't have feelings of compassion for others, and it doesn't have the freedom to return home with clothes on. It just escapes from the original life and tries another life. Plant fruits, vegetables and grains for one person, and make delicious food for one person, without sharing or praise.
I feel that life has become a simple mode, just one word-live. I used to watch "The Life I yearn for", and Teacher Huang Lei said that life is just to have a bite to eat, as long as you can live. Food seems to be an aid, a pleasure to oneself, and a flower that can be added to daily work. But can a person really live?
I doubt myself a little, but I still can't help admiring and yearning. When people are so close to nature, are we more able to gain the strength of survival from nature?
when I graduated from primary school, I went to my classmate's grandmother's house. I took the train to a small station, and when I got out of the station, there were two rows of towering poplars. It's like Komori, full of wheat and corn. There is more fireworks, but it is still like a paradise.
I still remember running in vegetable fields, catching insects to play, and basking in the sun with endless corn. Sleeping in the cave when I am sleepy, picking some corn and cooking it when I wake up, which is still sweet and I am full of praise. Those days were like being isolated from the world, like a beautiful dream, and I smiled every time I thought of my mouth.
someone on douban said, you look good, and if you leave there, can you stand loneliness and labor? Without those life skills, you can't even make instant noodles.
I think what he said is quite right. The film seems a little erotic, but it is the truth that everyone yearns for.
Since ancient times, people have worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Now, the proportion of people who keep this life in the world is small. In the movie, after staying in Komori for a period of time, Shizi wants to go back to the city to work hard, because she thinks that "fleeing back to Komori" is disrespectful to Komori. But as predicted by her friend, she finally returned to Komori, because that quietness, that satisfaction and truth are what she really craves.
"When you fall somewhere, every time you look back at yourself before, you find that you fall in the same place every time. Although I have been working hard, I always draw a circle in the same place, and wandering to the end is just returning to the key point, which is very frustrating.
But every time you accumulate experience, it's not the origin, whether it's failure or success, so it should not be called "circle" but "spiral".
From a certain point of view, it seems to be going around in the same place, but in fact, it will deviate from the upper point or the lower point. If that is the case, it will be fine. Perhaps, people themselves are "spirals". Go around in the same place, each time missing is different, or extending up or down or sideways. The circle I draw is getting bigger every time, so the spiral is getting bigger every time. Thinking of this, I feel that I should still work harder. "
this is what my mother said in the small forest, and it is also my favorite passage.
I think everything in our life can be explained by "spiral theory", which is not an excuse, but a fact.
Just like my weight-loss plan, I put it on the agenda again and again, and I went back to the original point again and again. It seems that I haven't left one step, but I still control my luxury and indulgence in some aspects. Some things are urgent and let nature take its course. When the spiral is enlarged, I still want to-please try again!
I've written a lot. Thank you for reading it. I don't know if you ever want to escape from reality. When you are full of complaints about everything, please take a look at Little Forest, which will give you the answer.
