What moved you most about The Fruit of Life?

The warm movie "Fruit of Life" from Japan made Abu feel very warm inside.

We must admit that Japan can always play a good hand about warmth.

There are more than 900 comments on Douban, with a score as high as 9.4. It can be seen that there are still many people who agree with Abu's point of view.

Warm movies, the most important thing is a delicate understanding of life.

Japanese directors, on the other hand, can always capture the little things in life, film them and present them to the audience through movies.

Today, the Fruit of Life is a documentary, which means the truth.

The main characters of this film are two old people.

Eiko Tsun and Hideyoshi Tsun, Eiko's grandmother was 87 years old when filming the documentary, and Grandpa Hideyoshi was 90 years old.

The two old people are so old because they have different lifestyles.

It attracted the interest of many local directors, who all wanted to film their lives for the two old people.

But they were all rejected. They don't want anyone to disturb their lives.

Director Kenji Fukuhara tried to ask Yixiu's grandfather to write a letter to convey his belief that he wanted to shoot this work.

Grandpa Yixiu was moved by such a persistent young man.

Finally decided to let Kenji Fukuhara film their ordinary life.

Coincidentally, the host said at the end of the film.

When Kenji Fukuhara wrote to Grandpa Koichi, he used a pen presented by the famous Japanese actress KiKi KiRin.

This pen is KiKi KiRin's "Blue Ribbon Best Supporting Actress Award".

Kenji Fukuhara once filmed a documentary about KiKi KiRin, The Temple of Xilin.

And the narrative of "the fruit of life" was just explained by KiKi KiRin.

This is a rare fate between KiKi KiRin and the two old people.

Speaking of it, Yixiu's grandfather and Eiko's grandmother are really boring.

But seeing their dull life gave Abu a feeling of not being afraid of old age.

Grandpa Yixiu was one of the first architects after the war.

With the rapid development of modern times, Grandpa Yixiu put forward the concept of "coexistence with nature".

However, his idea was not recognized, so he resolutely decided to resign.

Buy a piece of land and build your own home.

Grandpa Yixiu built a 300-square-meter wasteland into an idyllic home.

There are more than 70 kinds of vegetables and more than 50 kinds of trees in the whole yard.

Grandpa Yixiu is very careful and gentle. He put up a small sign for each plant.

In order to make it easy for grandma Eiko to distinguish, she must paint it yellow and then write the name of the plant.

A Zhang Yuanyuan Xiao Mu card on the cherry tree, painted yellow, with cherry on it and his favorite grandmother Eiko painted below.

It's hard to imagine that this was written by a 90-year-old grandfather.

Grandpa loves life and every day is meaningful.

Because there are many green plants where you live, you attract many birds all year round.

Some birds just nest in these trees.

Grandpa prepared a round basin for them to drink water and wash their feathers.

Grandpa's life is full of positive energy. Every day, he writes more than ten letters himself.

Most of these letters are addressed to vendors who have been buying fresh meat at fixed stalls for decades.

So he will be grateful to the vendors and say something encouraging to them.

Grandpa Yi Shu is very cute. Although he is 90 years old, an immortal heart is still worth learning.

Granny Eiko is not as fashionable as Grandpa Yixiu.

Her daily task is to prepare a hearty meal for grandpa Hugh.

All the food in the house is cooked by grandma Eiko.

Cherry, lime, plum and walnut on fruit trees, potatoes and strawberries in the fields.

When it matures, it will be delicious in the hands of grandma eiko.

Granny Eiko is different from Grandpa Yixiu. She is always all thumbs, so grandpa will help her do everything carefully after a break.

For 65 years, their lives have been very calm, and they have never blushed or quarreled.

Granny Eiko is the only daughter of a brewer.

The acquaintance between the two is very simple.

Grandma Eiko's first impression of Grandpa Yixiu was "a poor student wearing wrinkled linen pants and a pair of sandals".

Grandma eiko said that she wouldn't say anything like I love you.

All she knows is that if she is happy, she is happy.

This is probably the purest love.

Another grandfather said in an interview:

"She is my best girlfriend."

Companionship that spans half a century is endless love in the eyes of a break.

This kind of love, anyone, wants to have.

The documentary "Fruit of Life" is really dull, but it has the power to make us cry.

A complete life story, a very simple thing.

This is what life should be like.

But while filming this documentary, something unexpected happened.

Grandpa Yixiu died suddenly.

At grandpa's funeral, grandma Eiko looked at the colorful flags hung by the children and said with a smile, Your grandpa likes colorful things.

Her voice choked and tears came to her eyes, but she held back.

In this passage, the director didn't arouse too much emotion to earn the tears of the audience.

Instead, I briefly introduced a few words that Grandma Eiko said.

Then, I took a still picture of Grandpa Hugh's face for about a minute.

Videos of photos of the dead have always been taboo in movies.

But the director boldly presented it to the audience.

This minute is not long, but I can understand how sad grandma Eiko should be.

Taking care of grandpa's death is unexpected, but such a day will come sooner or later.

Grandma Eiko also said that she didn't know who would go first, and the other didn't know what to do.

This movie is very simple, and only tells the story of grandpa Hugh's death.

Perhaps, like fallen leaves, death is probably a natural thing.

After 65 years of marriage, they live a full and stable life like a copier every day.

The film also mentions that Grandpa Yixiu and Grandma Eiko went to Taiwan Province Province to sign their books.

When grandpa was young, he was a naval soldier.

There, I made many good friends in Taiwan Province Province, many of whom I haven't contacted for many years.

Mr. Chen Qingshun, who has the best relationship with grandpa, once made a seal for grandpa himself.

All the relevant documents of Grandpa Yixiu are stamped with this seal.

Since 1945, it has never been abandoned for decades.

Such a deep friendship, but I don't want Chen Qingshun to sleep early.

Facing Chen Qingshun's grave, Grandpa Yixiu buried his favorite seal next to the tombstone and sang the songs he once sang together.

Hands folded and said 1:

Goodbye, Xiao Chen.

Once we are separated, we will never see each other again.

Life is like this. Grandpa Yixiu is very nostalgic.

After grandma eiko died, she was really empty and lonely.

She started watching TV like Grandpa Xiu and doing what Grandpa Xiu did every day.

Still cooking for two people, preparing a wooden spoon that grandpa likes to use.

The film Fruit of Life is pure and simple, touching but not sad.

The shooting speed of this work is as slow as the pace of two old people, but Abu is reluctant to press the fast forward button.

The wind blows dead leaves, leaves give birth to fertile soil, and fertile soil is full of fragrant fruits. It is tireless and unhurried.

This is the propaganda language on the movie poster, and it is also the truth that Grandpa Yixiu and Grandma Eiko have realized all their lives.
