Comments on the drama series Juri Ueno and 5 Bags

Story 1: Justice

We have been familiar with the theme of education for a long time, promoting justice, punishing evil and promoting good. I seriously doubt that the melody of the police song that Juri played and sang was improvised by her. I really don’t believe that anyone could compose it and that she could learn it. Are the police necessarily just? Are the police good people? Can the police eliminate harm to the people? This is where the story about the police begins.

It can be seen that Juri was a little nervous and slow when she was questioned by the police. She was not as disdainful as when she sang. So I thought she was the criminal in the theft case. When the prisoner's photo was printed in the police station The director deliberately whetted his appetite, and it turned out that the person who came out was the eldest sister in "Premium" (this woman with a long face and narrow eyes has always left a good impression on me).

The old policeman may have intentionally let Juri go when he saw the money on the bottom of the piano. Regardless of whether Juri was a criminal or not, he didn't want to arrest him in the first place. Didn't he resign for this reason? The young policeman and his wife talked on the phone again and again, talking about trivial matters, which was annoying. Could it be that the newlyweds are in a good relationship?

As of this moment, can anyone foresee the ending?

The plot takes a turn for the worse. It turns out that the elder sister is Juri’s sister, the young policeman is the mastermind of the fraud case and is a victim of domestic violence, and his wife’s legs where she is hanging clothes while humming a song are covered in bruises. Isn’t there a shadow behind the seemingly happy scene? The wife's stubborn refusal to open the door and her indifferent attitude already illustrates the problem, or it may mean that she has been beaten into deafness or madness...

Is the right and wrong of the matter really as clear as we see it? It has long been a secret that the appearance of things is not a secret, but it is necessary to see through the illusion, restore the truth, and bring justice and innocence to the world. This kind of thing is only common in martial arts novels and anti-terrorism movies.

This story is such a martial arts. The three of them really opened a fried rice shop together, played the piano, sang, barbecued and collected stories. They were cool and unrestrained. On the surface, they were honest businessmen, but in fact they were thieves who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. Evil has its consequences, and good has its consequences. The wife is sitting in the shop eating fried rice with milk, while the husband is in jail waiting for the end.

The ending of justice, simple truth, what’s wrong with it.

Story 2: Freedom

Some people may be confused as to what this episode is about. As I understand it, this is a story about bondage.

Juri, who was trapped in his relationship, received a sarcastic text message from the other party, and was scolded for being sentimental; Juri, who was trapped by his work, stayed up all night, and when he slept for a while, his boss found him and scolded him; Juri was trapped in the elevator and shouted for help, but no one answered.

There was a photo of blue sky and blue sea in the corner of Juri's workbench, and she had been looking at it before going to bed. Maybe that's the place she yearns for, or maybe she also yearns for a lover who travels with her. She fell asleep with simple and innocent wishes, but when she woke up, she was met with nightmares one after another.

I was ridiculed by my lover, scolded by my boss, ignored by my colleagues, and trapped in the elevator. The desperate Juri was irritable in the elevator, wandering, beating, and shouting. He sat down and took out his wallet, took out all his belongings (does anyone think that small wallet can hold so many things), sorted out his life, found nothing, and then pulled it aside in anger. .

Juri’s performance in the elevator was really maddening. Even while watching, I felt tight in the chest and short of breath, irritated and oppressed. I couldn’t sit still and almost got up and beat someone up.

The desperate Juri picked up the pencil that fell in her trouser leg and drew a door on the inner wall of the elevator. An open door. Outside the door was a blue sea and sky after passing through the hustle and bustle of the city. She was extremely eager. I hope I can get rid of all these hateful shackles and layers of difficulties, walk out of that door, walk under the free sky, and do what I want to do.

So after she got out of the elevator, she returned to the studio and threw away everything in her bag, except for the pencil, a tool that she could use to draw the future at will (it seemed... a bit magical). Bi Ma Liang means...). She walked out of the studio instead of taking the elevator. The small space made her feel depressed and frightened. She wanted to say byebye completely. In the sky outside the gate, the sun rises and is bright and bright. Juri's step is also what we should take.

Story 3: Choice

Juri’s childhood friend Xiaojing came from her hometown When I came to Tokyo to see her, the little face of the village girl outside the door was dusty, but Juri had no more surprises except accidents. At this time, she was worried about her pregnancy. The film adopts an alternating narrative method, interspersing the past experiences of Xiaojing and Juri on an outing, and naturally explains their feelings.

At that time, Juri faced the choice of whether to go or stay. Even if he went to Tokyo, how to develop his dream? The uncertainty in his tone revealed his confusion about the future.

They lit a bonfire at night, and Xiaojing made a decision for Juri in the shining light of the fire. Go to Tokyo and follow your heart. In other words, she is making a decision for them. When Xiaojing grows up, she will go to Tokyo, and they will be together and live happily.

But how can the future direction extend straightly? Because we are faced with choices all the time. After a major decision, there will be countless forks. Each choice may deviate from the original direction. Who knows where it will end?

Juri came to Tokyo in this way. Like many young people who come to big cities to pursue their dreams, and like many sinkers who gradually lose their way in the crowd, she found a man for herself. , an ordinary supporter, living in a humble way. Dreams, promises, memories from the past, if Xiaojing didn't come, would she still remember them?

When Xiaojing saw Juri like this, she felt that she had changed and her choices had changed. She chose a boring life and chose to be with him. She was angry, disappointed, and felt the loneliness of being abandoned again. And uneasiness, just like the early morning of that picnic, when she woke up and couldn't find Juri, she felt panicked and lonely.

Juri’s boyfriend, a man who likes science and the simple logic of 1+1=2, faces a huge dilemma when facing Juri who may be pregnant, the choice of whether to give birth or not. And when the doctor removed one option for him and the remaining option became clear, he clearly knew that this was not what he wanted. He excitedly and incoherently talked about his responsibility and persistence in love. It was these words that deeply moved Juri. She originally thought that this possible pregnancy and the arrival of Xiaojing would bring her a wake-up call, reminding her that her original choice and dream would be lost in the sinking world. Should she continue or start over? At the door of the hospital, she was thinking about this problem and blamed her boyfriend for being filled with simple thoughts like whether to give birth or not.

But after those words, she made a choice and decided to settle down and entrust her life to this simple man. No matter how others objected, this was her direction. And Xiaojing finally realized that it was Juri's own choice and the life she wanted to live. Everyone should make their own choices and be responsible for this choice to the end.

In fact, when faced with choices, we already have weights in our hearts, which have been quietly pressed aside, but there are too many interferences in the chaotic consciousness, and we cannot distinguish them clearly. Do you have to withdraw from one of A and B to discover the importance of that one? Didn't you have to get on the boat to realize that you didn't want to go to sea?

You should really think about whether there are any options that are about to disappear. Maybe that option will never come back, but it is my own truth.

PS: When Juri’s boyfriend was looking for Xiaojing, he went into the men’s room and searched around. I really couldn’t help but mention this...

Story 4: Journey

Juri and assistant, DV and video, long road, grimaces, laughter, fields , sea. Juri put down his work and returned to his hometown. The male manager who liked Juri followed the wayward girl and recorded her every move on DV.

Every move includes this trip and Juri’s life.

Life is a journey, consisting of past, present and future alternately. Juri had unpleasant memories in her childhood, including her father's beatings, her parents' divorce, changing schools, leaving home, and living together, but she never forgot everything about the countryside, the school and teachers, the omelette rice and the songs of her childhood, especially her father. I still keep my father’s brown leather bag and carry it with me wherever I go.

Nowadays, Juri's acting career is at a rapid pace, and she always has a bright smile on her face. On a whim, she suddenly changed her travel plans, because in life she can do whatever she wants. She can abandon her annoying job and run to distant memories; she can steal a bicycle just because the speed feels good; she can play tricks on her partner, but he will never leave her anyway. . Juri's happiness spreads across the countryside, as bright and warm as the sunshine spreading on the ground. Until she saw the dilapidated school, the old teachers, the simple piano was still there, and the taste of the omelette rice had not changed. Juri's thoughts about things opened up her past life. When she came to the door of her old home, she saw the door sign from She discovered that this was no longer her home. Her father was someone else's father, another woman's husband.

A long, long road. Juri's footsteps were hurried, filled with anger and frustration, sadness and loneliness. Life cannot be whatever you want, and the past cannot be changed. The string of written stories is following behind you, and you cannot avoid or be picky.

The assistant was panting heavily during this long period of following, but he never left. Juri said, only you know. Having a friend to share with is so important in the journey of life. What's the future for Juri? ——She stood up, patted her butt and said, go back. The future is in another city, after she faced it bravely.

Life is a DV, a road, but real life cannot be edited or crossed. Maybe the scenery in front of you lingers, maybe the flowers of memories are blooming, maybe the journey ahead is difficult and dangerous (a common parallelism in elementary school compositions), no matter what, you should not give up walking.

Only in the future will everything be complete. So life is a big journey for us.

PS: The bright spot in this episode is the "gay sex" T-shirt at the teacher's house...

Story 5: Reliance

Here comes the ultimate weird word. The story of Juri and a man finally comes. Juri went to Tokyo to pursue his dream and helped cook in a French restaurant. He aspired to become a chef and open his own restaurant. One morning, Juri, who was sleepy, was woken up by the doorbell and received a package from Xiaobu, her childhood sweetheart in her hometown.

Xiaobu cultivated organic vegetables in his hometown. After graduation, Juri went to Tokyo. The two of them talked about everything and gradually drifted apart, gradually becoming estranged. Every Chinese Valentine's Day is Juri's birthday. Once on Chinese Valentine's Day, Juri returned to his hometown of Chiba and made an appointment with Xiao Bu to visit a temple fair. She was waiting there in her kimono, but Ayumu was not the only one who came. The three of them sat down. The girl Zhenyi pretended to be intimate and chatted with Juri. During the conversation, she seemed to question Juri's selfish behavior of abandoning his family and relatives and not taking care of his mother-in-law to go to Beijing to realize her dream. Juri looked at her inexplicably, but she turned her head and whispered to Xiaobu. . Juri felt unhappy and left quickly. From then on, he never returned to his hometown and had very little contact with Xiao Bu.

Juri is struggling alone in Tokyo, trapped, lonely, busy, and hardworking, but not recognized. She was full of grievances and troubles and had nowhere to talk. This time, even my body didn't cooperate, and my ears kept buzzing. On the morning of his 23rd birthday, he received a package from Xiaobu. Juri threw it into his bag and had no intention of opening it. After a busy day, I received a call from Xiaobu. The tired Juri made Xiaobu feel discouraged and hung up without saying what he wanted to say. Juri went to bed at night and had several dreams in succession, all of which were the same day. They all started at 9:10 on July 7, 2009, with the same doorbell, and all of them wearing the wrong socks. But every day is different.

The first dream was different at the end. After get off work, Juri found Xiaobu waiting at home to celebrate her birthday. When asked about the package, Juri was evasive, and Xiaobu couldn't hide his disappointment. The second dream was that Juri suddenly came to the French class and listened to Xiao Bu talk about his dream. It was a beautiful idea that connected their two dreams - he wanted to use vegetables grown by himself in Juri's shop in the future. Xiao Bu said to Juri that only when you come back will you have the opportunity to know this. Juri said that was impossible. Which one is impossible? Is it impossible for the dream to come true, or is it impossible for her to come back? Juri's heart seemed to be avoiding Xiao Bu. In the third dream, she saw Xiao Bu and Zhen Youli closely together, and she felt depressed. Something happened in the restaurant, and an opportunity was presented to Juri, so she fought for it from the chef. The cooked food was brought to Xiao Bu, who praised it for being delicious. The two immediately opened their hearts and had a deep talk. Juri admitted that she acted like a strong and independent person just to cover up her inner frustration and fragility. She was afraid that she would no longer be able to stick to her dream when she thought of Xiao Bu and her hometown. How could Xiaobu know that Juri's departure on Chinese Valentine's Day that year ruined his opportunity? He originally thought that there would be many opportunities and reunions for them to resolve misunderstandings and connect with each other.

Juri woke up from her dream after being comforted by Xiaobu's warmth. It's been 4 hours since her birthday. She found the package in the hole at the bottom of the bag, opened it and saw that it was the wishing branch that Juri had made for the Chinese Valentine's Day that year that Xiao Bu had kept. The wishes of both of them were written on it. I don’t understand the other ticket or something.

With the support and warmth behind her, Juri welcomes a new day. The doorbell on this day is finally no longer a courier. She finally walks out of the dilemma of deep trenches and high barriers, and even the discomfort in her ears is gone. She left. The streets of Tokyo at night are busy with traffic, and many people rely on each other. No one can exist alone, and no one can exist alone and not be lonely. The power of two people, even if that power is hidden behind them, is still There will be unlimited motivation.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, at two ends of the galaxy, are fighting for each other. Although they cannot stay together, they are supported by the power of love, and they will eventually meet on the Chinese Valentine's Day. Therefore, this myth has been spread far and wide, and it has not been forgotten by us to this day. If they didn't have each other's hearts, they would have died alone in the vast universe, and they would not be able to take the lead for us.
