茶之味

大喜大闹大跳感情起起伏伏的生活才精彩吗？
三言两语品茗作画小小幻想的日子也不错的
雨天有蛙鸣 晴天有鸟吟 舒缓恬静的小日子

好像把心放回童年，安度流年，岁月静好。
从来没有一部电影让我这样放松，所以，一直念念不忘。
这种放松，如同告诉你，不管怎样颠沛流离，你最初的样子，一直留在心里。
因此期望自己一生的旋律，像这部，茶之味。

The Taste of Tea is one of those films that audiences need to wait until the last minute to be able to obtain the message from the director. In other words, Katsuhito Ishill used a plot to arrange what was going to happen and what the connections were between the characters when setting an agenda.

The director’s plot to emphasize family relationships can be recognized in this film. Through out the process of the film, it seemed that the family members were only into their own worlds and there were no obvious intersections between each others: Yoshiko (mother) was busy of making her return to an animation career; Hajime (son) was falling in love with Tsuchiya; Sachiko (daughter)’s attention was on her back flip practices; however, in the end, when the director’s message was released, we saw the impacts that these individual family members had made to each other: the eccentric grandpa inspired Yoshiko’s creation of animation; uncle’s help made grandpa’s dream of singing came true; last not the least, the art album that grandpa produced for the whole members – they might not look like a close family, but likewise every family, they truly cared and tried to encourage each other from the bottom of the heart.

Individualism is another terminology that the director used in the making of this film. Characters in The Taste of Tea were living in the north of Tokyo, mainly having a life that was very different from the life style of city people, therefore, it is arguable to say their lives were a little boring. Despite this, Ishill let everybody show plenty of individualism which defined a crucial capitalism value – even the lest recognizable individual shins. The behaviours of grandpa might be very unreasonable, but he used those inspirations in his music video; the two guys wore wired animation outfits in the train; the baseball played who were training besides the river; the director operated numerous of little stories which might not make significant sense at explaining the story line, nevertheless, it is clear enough that a plot was used by Ishill to identify the simple value and worthiness of a human being.

The editing style in The Taste of Tea is something worth paying attention to. The editor did not do a job of cutting scenes tidy and frequently. In fact, abundant of long scenes appeared in the film to define a notion of the peaceful lives lived by the family and many others in the film. The most noticeable one in this category was the scene that the family was sitting in the living room and drinking teas, which occurred several times. Also, the similar editing style was shown in the scene that Hajime and Tsuchiya were playing chests (that scene lasted more than 2 minutes). I would put this film to the category of light comedy, where not many apparent “fun” scenes were found, but its funniness did offer somewhat philosophies. To me, The Taste of Tea was making a sound saying, life is just like the taste of the tea, which we are able to find in every corner of the world.

    喜欢上那个老头，一开始还觉得神经兮兮的，不过越看越可爱了！确实，我是看到他死之后留下给全家人画的漫画才感动的，一个人一生到老还能给别人带来快乐，并且自己也是快乐的，那他活得真值了！还死得那么安静干脆，一点不拖泥带水，给家人添麻烦，真是值得敬佩！换一个角度，《茶之味》所诠释的对生命的态度也是我欣赏的，人死了不需要用悲伤来纪念，而是快乐、积极、健康地生活，以此足以告慰亡灵。
    《茶之味》的山野风光、花香鸟语真是令人心旷神怡，也仿佛让我回到了童年时光，那是最自由、快乐的时光…… 的确，那种感觉也是在城市里所无法感受到的，心胸的豁然恬静，人与自然的融合…… 有时间还是多走走乡村比较好。
    日本人真是极富幻想，从小到老，人人都有一个幻想世界，猜不透，也许这样心态会比较好，保持童贞，保持开心，永远都像那个小女孩儿一样无邪地快乐。
    片尾曲很清新，跟电影很搭，中间他们表演的那首生日歌也还不错！浅野中信的表演有所改变，难得出演这样清新的电影，跟昔日女友那段会面好尴尬好傻哦（笑）。

一家人静静的坐在榻榻米上，每个人捧着一个小茶杯，望着外边若有所思，咋一看来似乎有点无厘头，每个人奇怪的要命实则这就是生活。
正是通过导演无边的想象力把每个人内心那奇特的异想世界呈现给大家，
当爷爷去世家人翻看他给每个人画的漫画时，质朴平时的感动涌上心头。

如果你喜欢摄影，如果你喜欢玩胶片，如果你喜欢日系的摄影风格，那么这部电影非常符合你得胃口，低低的饱和度和反差，唯美安静的构图，当影片开始hajime走过樱花树下，当大雨瓢泼那广角中的一片树林随雨摆动.......安静平时的美感扑面而来，日系的摄影和电影作品往往都是这样善于抓住最内心深处的东西，暖暖的柔柔的，不经意间眼眶微湿。
