Moive--Cherry Blossoms-hanami


I love this movie. It is a German film.
What follows is a very heart-felt exploration of an older couple very much in love. It was sad to see how badly their children seem to treat them, but it is so true in this world. Whilst that may have been true on some levels, we also see a very different side between Rudi and Trudi in their intimate moments. They seem very much in love with one another and Trudi in particular seems to have been happy to have spent her life looking after the ones she loved.
It takes a lot for me to cry when watching a film, but Cherry Blossoms did it for me, and I cried more than once. The reason for this I believe is two fold. The first being that as I watched this couple, I couldn't help but make my own personal connection to it. Thinking about my own relationship with my future husband and how we may be when we get to Rudi and Trudi's age. This is all VERY powerful cinematic stuff! If a movie can take you on a sweeping ride where you laugh and cry, then that is a REAL movie! I can see that the writer/director had a very intimate understanding of the people and places. Whether that be from personal experience or just observation and thought. Whatever the case, it was brilliantly executed.
However, this film inspired me that if you have dream, just do it directly. And I learn some Japanese culture from it. :) I 'd like to viist Japan one day! Cherry Blossoms is a masterpiece which shall immediately be going on my very small list of all time top films that everyone should see!

蜉蝣只有一日生命
一日的痛苦
一日的縱慾
讓它恣意徘徊
直到生命盡頭
一日見穹蒼
一夜是天堂
