In the misty mountains, a girl is working in a rice field, and the screen is all grass green, which is a great impact on vision and mind.
So I fell in love with Xiao Lin.
"Little Forest" tells the story of a girl named Shimako (Hashimoto Ai) living the life of an ordinary farmer in a Japanese village named Komori. She rises at sunrise and sets at sunset.
Almost all food is obtained by one's own labor.
Komori, a paradise-like village, provides an ideal utopia for modern urban youth.
"Little Forest" is divided into "Summer and Autumn" and "Winter and Spring", and the douban score is as high as 9.0. Both works entered the douban Top250, which became a craze at 20 14 and 20 15.
South Korea also remake a movie of the same name, but the Douban score is only 7.3.
Of the four seasons in the small forest, I like summer and winter best.
These two extreme seasons bring the ultimate beauty.
The depiction of these two seasons in the film is very interesting.
In "Summer and Autumn", it is said at the beginning that the humidity is close to 100%, and this resistance of air to human body makes you feel that you can swim in the air with fins.
In addition, there are mountains filled with water vapor and the heat of the city.
Under the thick clothes, there seems to be no heavy breathing, wet sideburns, and there seems to be fine sweat on his face.
In winter and spring, there are many empty shots of snow scenes.
However, the most important depiction is through food.
Every day, the city is studying how to make delicious food with local materials.
Summer is too sultry, so we make wine. After a day's work, a glass of ice wine at night will make the room cool.
Winter is so depressing that we eat cakes, baked sweet potatoes, frozen radishes and dried persimmons around the floor heating.
What I can't forget is the double cake I ate at Christmas.
The mother of the city makes red and green fillings, red is Redmi and green is spinach.
The market is made of black rice and pumpkin stuffing.
The method is simple. Mashed raw materials are stacked in a mold, baked, placed on the side, and then coated with thick whipped cream.
The final appearance is very attractive, just like ice cream, but the inside is hot and soft.
Frozen radish and persimmon are chopped and mixed for eating. They are sour and sweet, and can be used as refreshments. They are beautiful in color.
In the other two seasons, there are also many attractive foods, such as picking chestnuts in autumn and chestnuts in sugar water.
Sugar seeps into chestnuts, and chestnuts become sticky, just like eating glutinous rice snacks.
Pick fresh wild vegetables in spring, wrap them in batter, and stir-fry them dry. They taste crunchy.
There is also spaghetti with wild garlic seedlings fried with salmon and cabbage. ......
This is simply a short food drama!
There are many film and television works that shoot delicious food, especially in Japan. For example, Midnight Food Store and Lonely Gourmet are enduring works.
Especially "The Lonely Gourmet" has been broadcast in the seventh season, and the score is still as high as 9.3.
However, they are not as popular as Xiao Lin.
On Douban, 220,000 people rated Little Forest, while the rating of Midnight Food Store was only 6.5438+0.3 million.
In addition to the high-quality picture of the framed wallpaper of Little Forest, it is also the city's personal charm and rural life.
It is unusual for a girl to manage a rice field alone. In addition, she also grows tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage and black rice. ......
I've been working all day, trying to work out a successful way to grow tomatoes outdoors, and checking cabbage leaves one by one every day to prevent them from being eaten by insects.
A bicycle rides on a wide and quiet field. Between heaven and earth, there are only running water, birds singing and girls' own breathing.
When she is tired from work, she will stretch out into the sky. When she cooks delicious food, she will give a sigh, and her experience will be greatly satisfied.
What I think most about in a day is how to grow good land and how to make delicious food from local materials.
There are no other entertainment activities except inviting two or three friends to come home to taste delicious food and work together.
However, I am not bored at all.
This minimalist life of returning to the farming era makes the viewer feel particularly at ease and comfortable.
Everything is within reach, and what is within reach is solid land and heavy crops.
Since the development of human civilization, it has already got rid of the backward productive forces in the farming era. However, why do more and more people live in high-rise buildings and clouds, but they want a piece of land of their own?
Why do people plant flowers and vegetables on balconies and roofs?
Do you still remember the "vegetable stealing game" that was all the rage a few years ago?
The whole people are obsessed with "stealing vegetables", even if it is only virtual.
Watching the vegetables in their fields grow up little by little and watering each other to kill insects has brought people a great sense of accomplishment and comfort.
However, virtual is virtual after all, and without solid land, this pleasure is short-lived after all.
But this fully shows that people can't completely abandon the pastoral farming life.
This will be everyone's dream for a long time.
For this reason, it is obviously inappropriate to call the food in the movie "cooking".
Every dish cooked by city children comes from their own fields.
This is why the food is simple, but it makes people feel particularly delicious.
The film obviously doesn't like the city, and Shizi fled back to Komori because he couldn't adapt to the life in the city. Mrs. You in the same village put it more bluntly:
"Those who pretend to know everything know nothing,
Those who pretend to be above others just move what others do from the right to the left.
I'm tired of hearing these shallow people talk empty words. "
However, the film does not blindly stand on the opposite side of the city, but allows urban children to try to integrate into the city wrapped by modern civilization again, and then willingly return to Komori.
Running back to Komori like before is blaspheming Komori.
Only by mastering the initiative to choose between the two, can we make a decision that really suits our heart, and can we truly respect and love Komori.
Fortunately, Shizi experienced her mother's leaving without saying goodbye and lived in a big city twice, and finally grew up to be a brave, patient, quiet and indifferent woman.
Like a tree.
Never rely on, never look for.
I don't know how she finally found a man willing to go back to Komori with her in the hustle and bustle of the metropolis. This must not be easy.
