----------------------- only yesterday------------------------

Taeso has a crush on Hito. in a secondary school , there is a match of  baseball between Taeso's class and Hito's class, and because of the good game of Hito, Hito's class wins. . But 11-year-old  Taeso, after winning the team match, gets nervous and leaves from there.  the taco is going alone from the lane, there is no one in the lane and the sun is sinking in the background of the same frame. There is an electricity pole in the front lane. And suddenly, coming out of the side lane, Hito stands in front of the taeso. Taeso's face is visible in the frame. Taeso walks forward with a tilted neck and thewalk turn in the lane  , so some vague words come out of Hito's mouth. Taeso stops, there is a pause here. Hito tries to say something again but is unable to say. After that Hito says, "Clouds", Taeso looks at Hito in a mood, Hito says, "Do you like the sun more or the clouds, meaning do you like summer days or rainy days?"

                       Here comes another long pause, on which Taeso says, " a rainy day", immediately after this an insurtion cut. Where a ball was caught in the gloves used in baseball games. Hito has a smile on his face. Hito says, "Me too" "Then comes another long pause. A smile comes on Taeso's face. Hito also laughs with shame. Hito runs away. And  throw a ball in the air. catches the ball  and gets out of there. Taesos also run away from there, we see the taeso running away and then the way we climb the stairs to terrace.taeso  climbs  like this.  flying in  the air,reach to her   house in the air. Friends, this is the power of an animation film, that we can put our imagination in pictures with great ability. 

                 

                      this scene  is from  a Japanese animated feature film, "Only Yesterday", directed by Ishao Takahata and produced by Toshio Suzuki (gibli studio). In this scene, I deliberately mentioned the pauses, because with the pauses, the stability that has come in the scene. This scene seems very meditative. These entire films are quite meditative in nature.

                      let me introduce you to the story of this film. Taeso is a 27-year-old job holder girl in Tokyo. Who has not been married yet. Taeso is not particularly interested in her job. Taeso is an average girl in everything since childhood. Taeso has been a major attraction of villages since childhood. . Taeso's childhood also passed away in a village. Taeso is taking 10 days to leave from her job to meet her sister who lives in the village, a village named  "Yamagata".  taeso sits in her train. And the journey of taeso to the village, begins. From here, the life of Taeso's childhood means that when the age of Taeso was 11 years, the flashbacks of that time begin to appear in the story. The scene  I mentioned, in the beginning, is a sequence of Flash Back's sequence of taeso. Throughout the film, stories of Taeso's past, and present, keep coming. The whole film moves in a non-linear way. (Non-linear means not flowing in the same  way  , which means that the story of the film is going to flash on from flashback. And sometimes from flash on, the story is going to flashback.Or two or more stories going on simultaneously.) Taeso reaches  in the village, where he meets a distant relative. Whose name is Toshio. Toshio and his family do organic cultivation of safflower flowers. Taeso also comes to the village and supports her in the same work. In the film, the relation of Toshio and Taeso slowly develops, now I will not give a spoiler after telling what happens in the story. You watch the movie But I will definitely talk about some scenes of the story.

               Taeso is eating pineapple for the first time in a scene. Cutting this pineapple shows each one. All family  member pine apples take plates to eat. But no one in the family likes it, and the sister of Taeso says that banana is better than it. . It has been shown very well on small things. Taeso's first crush, his first menstrual cycle by the classmate boys teasing her, how Taeso's father slapped her childhood, how all these stories are living in her place today. Its journey is shown in this film. There is no suspense, thrill, action in the story of the film, but a small thing has been highlighted.

             Taeso had a classmate who greatly hated taeso. That memory of that classmate is still fresh in Taeso's heart, but as Taeso meets Toshio and their friendship grows deeper, Taeso's hated memories of that classmate clear her mind. Taeso  begins to feel hes sympathy to Toshio.

             Finally, when the taeso are about to go back to their city, this last scene  is also very interesting. Taeso sits in the train. Taeso's childhood friend and childhood taeso are now in Tran's boggy with a adult taeso. As a butterfly arrives and sits on the shoulder of the adult taeso, Taeso realizes that hes life's goals are to spend life with the Toshio in the same village. The childhood friends get off the train going to the Tokyo with the adult  taeso and return to the village again. She takes a train to go. After coming down from her village, she calls her sister from a PCO. Sister sends Toshio to bring Taeso. Here the children have stopped a bus. After the phone call, Taco sits in the bus. Toshio has left to take taeso in the car . At one place, Toshiyo's car and taeso's bus cross each other. And the car stops at a distance. Saying thank you to the taeso to  bus  driver, get down from the bus. Toshio gets off the car, a child who is a friend of a small taeso. While rolling on the ground, he goes into the feet of Toshio. The Toshio stumbles and collides directly with the taeso, the taeso manages it. Toshio and taeso call each other hello. Toshio is moving towards his car with a bag of taeso. They are followed by small taeso and their friends, Toshio and Taeso are going in the car in the next frame. The children are running with the car and behind the car. The car leaves . Children are standing, we see that small taeso is standing at the end. Here the film ends and there is a song playing in this whole sequence, it is fun to see this sequence.

           Friends, this film was released in Japan in 1991, it does not seem that it is a 30-year-old film. Its animation work is so good, friends, the expressions of the characters in this film have been changed with the emotions of the character, which was the first work done at that time. Animation is easy nowadays, but 30 years ago it was not so easy.

        Japanese folk songs, Hungarian music and Bulgarian folk songs have also been used well in this film.

       How important are the small incidents that occur in your life. Cinema is not called to convert literature into pictures, but it is cinema to convert pictures into consciousness. Good cinema makes life better. That's why watch good cinema.

       Friends, a lot of research has to be done to write a blog, hard work has to be done. That is why after reading, please comment in the comment box. Tell me what you liked and what don't and what i  can do to improve it.

        Right now the coronavirus is raging all over the world, people are dying , here in India there are complete lockdowns, so sit at home, take care of yourself and   your loved ones and sit at home watching this movie "Only yesterday". I am giving a link to the making of this film below, you will be able to see how this film was produced.
