1) Taste deterioration
Elm's seed is light golden yellow, and it is called Yucian. It is mixed with corn flour and steamed in a pot, and then mixed with blanched beans, which is "bitter bud". The taste is average. Only Grandmothers and grandmothers love it at home. The program is to tell stories about the past while eating. My grandmother said that when there was a lack of food in a certain year, she climbed the five steps hungry for ten minutes, and it might take half an hour to walk back and forth ―― in such an era, of course, you must never let go of the things on the elm. As for the taste, whatever you eat is delicious when you are hungry. There are countless such things. As a result of her terrible hunger, she can't tell whether the taste is good or bad until now. It is estimated that the taste is a little degraded, and her cooking is basically chopped and fried with some salt ―― but when it comes to taste degradation, I doubt that many people will. After all, many housewives in the village have terrible cooking skills that can make people taste degraded, so you can't help it, which is the same reason as children's amnesia after severe mental trauma.
My mother finally knows something about cooking. When she was a child, she couldn't bear the torture of my grandmother's horrible cooking. She bought a cookbook and studied hard. At the age of seventeen, she finally turned over a serf to sing and became our chief chef and dishwasher. When I was in the village, I was fine. My mother used to cook. Unfortunately, after I went to Tianjin to go to school, my grandmother didn't trust me to stay with my relatives and insisted on taking care of my diet. Thanks to her only accompanying me for one year, my taste must have deteriorated. Most people in our village are as creative in cooking as my grandmother. For example, my dear grandfather, for this glorious educated youth, the only way to cook fish is to stew it in a large pot with oil, and throw the pepper and aniseed at no cost. No matter whether it is silver carp, black fish, grass carp and crucian carp, it tastes miraculously the same. The most horrible thing is that a family loves to eat white cook the meat. The pork belly the size of a fist is thrown into the boiling water pot, and some oil and salt are put aside. When the meat is cooked, you can put chopsticks in your mouth and it looks delicious. Mother, if you watch them eat, you can see vomiting. Aunt Meng, a neighbor, is such a leader in eating meat. She must eat it every week, and she eats herself like a boiled pork belly ball with skin.
So you can imagine my mood when I watch such a movie. Look at China on the tip of my tongue. I'm hungry, but when I'm full, I'll be fine ―― but Komori makes me yearn. This life is not a new life, which stems from the modest regrets of childhood. Looking at the city children riding in the fields of Shan Ye, I think my village is still the same as before. This "as always" is different from "When I was away from Komori, everyone planted rice and looked for walnuts". There is no Komori's nature among the continuous villages in the North China Plain. Rice, wheat, beans, rakes, shovels and mice are boring.
if someone really likes it here like Yutai and wants to live here, I will feel it is unfortunate.
(2) The rhythm of the country
Country life in this movie is a bit too idealistic. It is exactly what we want, and it is what the city lacks, and it may be a coincidence. Without social networks, the food made by the city children does not take photos and send friends, and the farming life is stripped of heavy and boring. However, even after peeling, you can still see a lot of things. The aging of the Japanese countryside (when the fallow meeting was held, most of them were old people, and I don't know if it was Komori's individual situation), and the information was blocked (when the mayor grew up, he discovered that he dared to invite Worcester soy sauce to be sold everywhere, and the spread sauce was actually chocolate hazelnut jam, which definitely meant that he didn't go to the city all the year round, and when he looked at this place in Encyclopedia Komori, he was a similar poverty-stricken county), and the heavy physical labor was basically brushed aside. After all, the labor of this intensity would be written on his face. However, this is not a realistic movie. It depends on the bitter version. There are "Seven Samurai" of Kurosawa in Japan and "alive" of Zhang Yimou in China, and it is not needed.
basically, it's the cooking skills of the city children, the beauty of food, the meticulous farming and gathering that prop up this film. These things give you a sense of quiet inside. The pace of this rural life is really slow enough ―― Komori's rhythm is actually on time, that is, "summer is full of crops and summer is connected". This kind of life that is completely in accordance with the natural rhythm naturally makes people feel calm, and you can't help being calm. This is different from the rhythm of "personnel" in the city. In fact, there are very few villages that leave on time, and there are more township enterprises around the village (mostly labor-intensive, maybe it is heavy pollution like tanning, for example, next door to our village). In fact, the pace of life is almost less than that of cities, and young labor is easily lost. Look at the city's baked balls and sweet potatoes. All the ladies are running around, and all the young girls are in the city.
(3) yearning
We yearn for something and a certain life, mostly because we are a little short of this and the lack of proper benefits. You are ok, but you can't forget it and feel better. This is called yearning. Everyone's life is flawed or something. There is no perfect person and there is no perfect life. People have their own shortcomings, so that people have their own aspirations and yearn for their own differences. Some people want to "refine hearts in a wide range of fields", and they can't leave the city without the struggle. Chekhov's "gooseberry" vision is unacceptable to him. But in fact, it's nothing to put that vision on ordinary people. Everyone has his own interests and can't say that others are vulgar. I really hope that when I saw the wood at my front door, an aunt would stir-fry chestnuts with her own sugar, saying that you can taste this delicious one with brandy. Of course, it would be better if it were not an aunt but a girl, which would make the picture better.
So if someone tells me that I yearn for Komori and want to live there, I will think it is a natural and wonderful thing.
(4) Life
The city children are unhappy and not very confident. Her boyfriend is more energetic than her to pick the fruit that she can't, so she is uncomfortable, because she thinks that "physical strength is the only thing I am proud of from the countryside" and has been jumping around. When I was working with a boy who had a good impression, I saw that he only ate a sweet bread, made a lunch, and waited for others to eat together. Unfortunately, I found that the famous grass was taken, and I was frustrated. "In the end, I couldn't take a step forward." I had to go back to Komori to live alone. My mother, who has been living alone, later left herself to form a family and live her own life, and rarely wrote a letter. . .
would it be a very sad story without the cooking skills I learned from my mother and the beautiful part of Komori? Maybe this movie doesn't intend to tell the whole story. Anyway, what people want to see is food, quiet and beautiful scenery. We will see what is in the life of the city children, but what we lack, and then we yearn for it, so we may yearn for it or drool. After watching the city's spring, summer, autumn and winter, and seeing so many delicious foods, have you neglected the city? Different people, the food is the same, will the story be the same?
It wasn't until the spring that Shimako left Komori that she began to live a real life. Her days in Komori were an escape, and she knew it.
some people's lives begin with coming back, while others begin with leaving.
do you want to leave or come back?
