Japanese people are always good at showing melancholy. The combination of nature and characters, the frozen lens, and the ensemble of rain and music make us calm in the fresh and sad atmosphere. Watching Japanese film, you need to be patient and subtile to characters' emotions. For example, the film Natsu jikan no otonatachi also called Happy-Go-Lucky, many unexpected things happened around the fields in the summer. Fathers and mothers reminisce about the past, contact with the opposite sex, the nonstop boring TV series... Although these things are described from Tanaka's perspective, but they are straightforward without much Tanaka's feelings and narration, but with Tanaka's question, "what's going on?" The director captured and showed us very well the details, the emotion changes, the summer scene, the growth.
During watching the film, I was very moved to see the children and what their most simple "likes" look like. There is nothing about appearance, but only about his own primitive feelings. This kind of "like or love" makes people feel good. The last line of the movie that "hope her oppai bigger" makes me smile and feel good to be an innocent child.
