"Little Forest": the highest-rated Japanese movie to cure your depressed life

"Little Forest" is adapted from the original work of the same name by Japanese cartoonist Daisuke Igarashi. It is divided into two parts, winter and spring and summer and autumn. The film uses a bland narrative method, a feature film that records life, which seems lengthy. For many people who are used to watching thrilling suspense films and American shock blockbusters, this small and refreshing literary film seems boring. This is also a problem that prevents many domestic literary and artistic films from surviving. It tells the story of the protagonist girl Ichiko, who returns to a small mountain village after living in the city. The rhythm of "Little Forest" is a bit like "Late Night Diner". The plot does not have any ups and downs and exaggerated stories. Most of the time it is about telling the details of the story and creating the atmosphere. Many people also call this film the Japanese version of China on the Tip of the Tongue, because there are many eating scenes in it, which make people salivate after watching it. But in fact, it is different from the quick introduction of China on the Tip of the Tongue. It is very patient with every scene, allowing the audience to truly feel the feeling of eating, and even indulge in it. As Shizi kept trying to find the secret of her mother's taste and cook one childhood dish after another, Shizi finally understood how difficult it was for her mother to raise her alone. This is something we understand through growing up step by step, just like our life experience, we also grow up and mature in the continuous growth process.
