A Study Of Hirokazu Koreeda Family Films

Hirokazu Koreeda’s representative of “Japan New Television”is the representative character of the show.The continuous reflection and subversion of the concept of family make his works become a cross section of the study of Japanese family life,providing more possibilities for similar films.In addition to the detailed presentation of Japanese social landscape and Oriental family ethics,kore-eda also made a comparison between the deep-rooted ideological inheritance of the Japanese nation and the changes of Japanese family culture caused by the collision of western thoughts,thus composing a variation of the contradiction of Japanese family.After sorting out kore-eda’s personal growth and creation experience,and clarifying his narrative strategy and image style of family films,it is not difficult to see that the tone of his creation changes from cold to warm.What is variation?How to play variations?The answer is that exploration is the key to eda’s family values.Hirokazu kore-eda,a former documentary director,used social events or social issues as the main source of his early films,and the tone was cold and prophetic about family relations.With the continuous changes of modern Japanese society and the continuous renewal of personal life experience,the works began to lay a warm line.In the treatment of character contradiction,the satirical nature is a little restrained,and gradually moves towards the world of showing the "ego".Though still a family fable,kore-eda has taken the initiative to seek solutions to his previous pessimistic and unsolvable attitude,and the ending develops towards optimism.Hirokazu kore-eda’s ever-changing understanding of family themes,his family concept,has become a powerful tool to analyze the reasons behind his variations in tone.In addition,the social and cultural causes contained in the works are also worth exploring.The rapid development of The Times is bound to bring about changes in the family structure.Kore-eda,while keeping a close eye on this change,constantly tried to deconstruct and reconstruct the family model in order to find the optimal solution to the family contradiction.
