There are still too few girls like Ando Sakura who are 'ugly' and have a taste
During this year's Spring Festival, "Hot and Hot" directed and acted by Jia Ling has become one of the most watched movies, and earlier it was also with "losing 100 pounds for the role" to dominate the hot search, in the movie, she will play a small person to challenge boxing to break her sluggish life. Jia Ling has also not been on a variety show in the past year, and the movie does not have a premiere event, and she said on Weibo: In order to protect the audience's viewing experience, she will not show up before the movie is released.
It seems that everything will not be known until the movie is released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and those who know this movie probably know that "Hot and Hot" is a remake of the Japanese movie "100 Yuan Love" starring Sakura Ando, which is an anti-genre inspirational film that resonates with countless people, and it is also the first work of many people to enter the pit Sakura Ando, until the later Japanese drama "Restart Life".
Before the remake is released, we might as well learn about it through the prototype "100 Yuan Love".Sakura Ando
100 Dollars of Love".
100 Dollars of Love".
Sakura Ando's "ugliest moment".
But countless people fell in love with her
2014's "100 Yuan Love" also has a lot of honors in the Japanese film industry, "one of the top ten films of the 2014 Japan Film Awards", "Best Film at the Japan Film Professional Awards", etc., and eight years after her debut, the 28-year-old Ando Sakura also won the "Japanese Olympics" Best Actress trophy for the first time with "100 Yuan Love", ranking among the Japanese first-line actors.
If I can pass the audition, I want to bring out all the sloppiness and ugliness that I have been able to play so far", this is the attitude of Sakura Ando when she participated in "100 Yuan Love".
That's right, we can see her in the movie with a bloated figure, unkempt, playing the raunchy gnawing old waste material Kazuko Saito, in addition to eating and sleeping, or taking her little nephew to play games with her, no matter how busy the family restaurant is, she will not help. The only way to go out is to ride a bicycle to the 100-yen convenience store to buy food, and come back to repeat her muddy life, and sneaking a peek at Yuji practicing in the boxing club on the road is one of the few heartwarming moments for her, but she also knows that she is not worthy of others.
Because her sister couldn't get used to her idleness and laziness all day long, she fought with Kazuko Saito, and she decided to run away from home in a fit of anger, and her mother, who had always doted on her, did not stop her in the end. Perhaps still ashamed, Kazuko Saito went to work at a 100-yen convenience store, because she had not been in contact with the outside world for too long, she looked at the world in panic and looked at the strangers around her in fear.
The only thing that makes Kazuko Saito happy is that Yuji she has a crush on is a frequent customer of a convenience store, and the relationship between the two slowly warms up as she comes into contact with them, but Yuji asks her out just because he thinks she won't refuse, and the ensuing betrayal and being violated by a lewd male colleague all make Kazuko Saito feel like a cheap item that is thrown away when someone runs out, she has no dreams about life, no hope, not even sadness, only numbness.
However, she was fascinated by the small gesture of boxing players patting each other on the shoulder, which seemed to her long-awaited encouragement, regardless of whether she won or lost, and so a story of self-redemption with boxing began. While clumsily learning to cook and awkwardly waving her fists, she gradually regained her self-confidence, and a smile began to appear on her face, in order to participate in the competition, she practiced desperately, cut her hair short, became smart and neat, and her eyes were more determined.
Why is "100 Yuan Love" an anti-genre inspirational film, because it did not pour chicken soup, let alone deliberately sensationalize, facing an opponent who has won three championships in a row, as if it was like facing the heavy blow of life, she still lost. Kazuko Saito in the ring felt shocked and powerless, and she remained as fierce as a beast in the final moments, roaring: "I can't lose!" I can't lose! It was her rebellion against her past life, but she smashed her fists into the air again and again, and she couldn't even find where her opponent was, full of powerlessness. Walking out of the boxing gym, she cried "I want to win", and that moment was absolutely moving, and it was also the cry of all the "losers".
Undoubtedly, this is a more realistic portrayal of ordinary people, there may not be success after hard work, failure is the normal state of life, the difficulties of life are not the walls in front of them, as long as they are broken and knocked down, the front is bright, it is more like a viscous liquid, many times it is difficult for us to shake off. But in the end, the moment when Kazuko Saito hugged and patted each other on the shoulder, it also indicated that she had reconciled with life, she had found herself, her dignity, her courage, and she continued to live.
"100 Yuan Love" is actually like many Japanese movies, focusing on simple stories, simple scenes, and focusing on reflecting the mood of the characters, it can be said to be a movie of small people, but it makes people feel very real, in addition to the script arrangement, the very important reason is also thanks to Ando Sakura's wonderful interpretation.
From the body that seemed to smell all over the body in the early stage, to the boxer who swept away the sluggish state and obvious muscle lines in the later stage, Ando Sakura, who had a completely different body state before and after, actually took only ten days to lose weight.
Compared with her physical state, Sakura Ando's appearance and delicate emotional acting skills with different mainstream aesthetic tastes also make her more suitable to speak for those low-level characters in the quagmire of life.
In fact, after "100 Yuan Love", Ando Sakura played more female characters who may be devastated by fate or have unsatisfactory lives, including the crying scene of the gods contributed in the movie "Thief Family" released in 2018, which was even more praised.
In "Thief Family", Nobuyo played by Sakura Ando was thought to be abducting children because she couldn't have children, she herself was doing very badly, but she was still willing to adopt 2 children, in addition to the woman's instinctive motherhood, but also because her mother was not good to her, so she asked the police officer: "Do you naturally become a mother when you give birth to a child?" She began to face her heart with the audience, and hastily wiped her tears, and vividly interpreted the inner entanglement, pain and confusion.
The Family of Thieves
Sakura Ando's "Restart Life".Similarly, in "Restart Life", which set off everyone's enthusiasm for discussion last year, Sakura Ando once again played the role of a small person, and rebirth and time travel have long been common online themes, but "Restart Life" has gone high, and the ratings of the last two episodes have increased by 04。Sakura Ando plays the heroine Asami Kondo, who holds an iron job bowl for civil servants, who died in a car accident at the age of 33. Due to the lack of yin virtue in this life, he cannot be reincarnated as a human in the next life, and is only enough to be reincarnated as an anteater in southeastern Guatemala. In order to reincarnate into the species she expects - people, the heroine can restart her life and accumulate yin virtue, "Restart Life" is interesting and interesting after restarting again and again Asami Kondo's choice.
In the first three rounds of her life, her campus life turned out to be the same, and she did not gain wisdom that others could not achieve because of the memory of the previous round.
Moreover, in "Restart Life", without Meng Po Tang, each round of memories will be superimposed, a nearly 100-year-old person has never thought of changing his starting point, has not used the information gap of "reliving again" to make his life shocking, and has never imagined that he can become a savior.
In the third round, Asami became a TV producer, wrote a script with her own life, and was complained by her colleagues that she was "bored" Even in the fourth round of life, Asami met another partner who restarted her life, a person who had lived exactly the same life for eight rounds. It wasn't until here that most viewers understood the deep meaning of this drama. Japanese dramas have always given the audience the impression that they use ordinary fragments to promote the development of the plot, and there are not many scenes, but they are very real.
This is even more true in "Restart Life", what will happen in each round of life almost coincides: ** KTV dinner after the ceremony; chatting in front of a convenience store; Prevent an extramarital affair from happening; protecting high school teachers from the false accusations of sexual harassment; It was found that the drugs of the grandfather** could not be taken at the same time, so as to prolong the life of the grandfather ......These must-see items in each round of life also led to the fact that the ratings of the first few episodes of the series were not high in the local area.
The current scenes of "Restart Life" will almost always be repeated.
Until the eighth episode, these ordinary plots piled up into the most depressing scene.
It turns out that these trivial after-dinner chats that I don't care about, a cup of coffee that I don't notice when it will run out, there will be moments that I can't touch.
In order to laugh heartlessly at the dinner table with friends again, as for letting an "old man" who has lived for more than 130 years give up "reincarnation", he has no hesitation to restart his life.
Asami Kondo stands in front of the culvert where she walked side by side with her childhood friend.
Grief and despair, all emotions are in a distant look, a tear.
To live is to live. This sentence may be able to summarize the lifestyle conveyed by "Restart Life", and it is also reflected in the dressing style of the heroine Asami Kondo.
In Gowa's life, Asami became more and more clear about what her life goals were, and her dressing style became more and more comfortable.
In the first round, she worked as a civil servant in her hometown, living a relatively free life without getting married. combed the bangs that were not suitable for her, wore a checked woolen coat, and a camel-colored turtleneck sweater underneath, there was no big mistake, but it was out of everyone.
In the first round of life, Asami Kondo was dressed in earthy colors.
In the third round, Asami came to Tokyo and joined the TV station as a producer of her favorite shows. Comb up the bangs and wear a black sweatshirt with sweatpants, giving people a casual but fashionable feeling.
In the fourth round, Asami was reincarnated as a human being in the next life in order to accumulate virtue, and became a medical researcher through unremitting efforts.
With a blue sweatshirt paired with light-colored Chino pants, a retro backpack, and metal-framed glasses, Asami looks like she was in the "Hikari Ken's Tokyo Vintage Days", which was once popular in the fashion world, and she is so handsome that no one can see her.
For Asami Kondo, the almost repetitive life can lead to a different novelty, the change of career, the accumulation of years, so that she less and less cares about the noise around her, and she becomes more and more individual.
"Ugly" becomes such a queenSakura AndoIt is still the first "Restart Life" that does not shout slogans such as "what a man can do, a woman can also do", but it is an excellent feminist work.
Civil servant-pharmacist-producer-researcher-airplane captain, the changes in the life trajectory of Asami Kondo Gowa are all due to their own boldness. And if one day, when all women can choose what they like without wavering, without being guided and stereotyped, it will be more exciting.
This is true of Asami Kondo, and so is its actor Sakura Ando.
Unlike Asami, who was born in an ordinary family, Ando Sakura's background can be described as outrageous. His maternal great-grandfather was former Prime Minister Inu Yangyi; dad Eiji Okuda, Japanese actor and director; Mom Ando, a talented prose girl from an aristocratic background; 's sister Momoko Ando is also a director, screenwriter and writer who has won the Shanghai Film Festival Award.
Ando Sakura's family.
Starring Sakura Ando, "0The director of "5 mm" is her sister Momoko Ando.
From kindergarten to university, Sakura Ando studied in the "Gakuin" with high tuition fees and status thresholds. As an actor, he is often mentioned, and the highlight three minutes of "Thief Family" is a proof of strength that cannot be talked about.
This "no acting skills" purely relies on true feelings and is not beautiful enough to cry scene, so that Ando Sakura won the Japanese Oscar for the second time at the age of 33.
also allowed her to carry the banner of the heroine in "Restart Life", which was broadcast during the ** time slot.
Sakura Ando's three minutes of being canonized in "The Thief Family".
"Manfuku" starring Sakura Ando broke the decades-old tradition in Japan and became the first mother heroine in the history of morning dramas.
Five-year-old Sakura Ando decided to become an actress after seeing her father's stage performance. Unlike many second-generation stars who "sit back and enjoy their success", Sakura Ando realized in the second grade of elementary school that if she really became an actor, she would inevitably be regarded as a relation, so she chose to put her dream of being an actress on hold.
The dream of childhood sprouted again 15 years later, while working in a restaurant to experience life Ando Sakura, while no longer rejecting the identity of the second generation of stars, she played a waiter who appeared for a minute or two in "Long Walk" directed by her father, and officially debuted as an actor.
When she saw her father performing on stage, Sakura Ando thought that the female version of her father was an actress
So she wrote in her composition: I want to be an actress in the future.
Sakura Ando from "A Long Walk".
Sakura Ando in another film directed by her father, "The Outer Side of the Wind".
20 years old, much later than the debut age of other second-generation stars. It's just that in the outside world's whispers about Ando Sakura, appearance is more deadly than age.
In an interview before becoming an actress, in just 20 minutes, Sakura Ando said 5 times "I don't have much confidence in myself". In 05 mm", Sakura Ando bluntly said that at the autograph session, she could always be heard describing her as a "terrible woman like a big rock snake", and her sister Momoko Ando said that she was, and Sakura Ando joked that she was an earthworm under a rock.
After becoming an actress, she was named the "ugliest actress".
Coincidentally, the daily magazine "Weekly Women's Prime" once voted for "just ugly actresses", and Sakura Ando and Hana Kuroki "won" the first place.
Second, the fourth place, the luxurious lineup of "Restart Life" also gave these two actresses the opportunity to play in the same frame.
Berlin actress Kuroki Hana's award-winning slogan is "simple facial features, rotten street appearance", while Ando Ya is "not beautiful, tasteful".
The public face actress "Kuroki Hua" and the "ugliest actress" Ando Sakura took a photo of Ando Sakura, who has considered herself an "ugly girl" since she was a child.
Now when asked what embarrassed her the most, her answer is still "take pictures". I even laughed at myself that my nose was too flat, and I was always sad to watch my favorite "Alice in Wonderland", because the 3D glasses fell off as soon as I wore them.
If you look "ugly", you can't accept the role of a young and beautiful girl, which is almost the "unspoken rule" of the entire entertainment industry. But since she can't receive mainstream roles, Sakura Ando, a marginal role that can be obtained, naturally does not let go, and decadence and madness have become her main screen image.
Sakura Ando has gained attention in the film industry with her villain role in "Love".
Sakura Ando was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 4th Asian Film Awards for "Kenta and Jun and Kashi's Country".
won Best Supporting Actress at major Japanese film awards for "Love and Sincerity".
With the help of 05 mm won most of the best actress awards in Japan that year.

It is not difficult to perceive that she has a comfortable temperament between boys and girls, adults and children, which coincides with Jil Sander's innate texture, simple, soft and relaxed.
Coincidentally, photographer Joel Meyerowitz, who shot Jil Sander's Spring/Summer 2022 campaign, said, "We wake up from our dreams, regain our momentary consciousness, have a newborn-like vision, and observe the world with our innate acumen." "It's like forming an intertextuality with Asami Kondo and Sakura Ando.
5 years old, 20 years old, 28 years old, 37 years old, Ando Sakura's every step seems to be wavering, but in fact she is unswerving in doing what she wants. She is like Asami Kondo who pressed the reset button, she has the luck to do it all over again, and more importantly, she goes all out after each round of selection, and she is happy that life will always be the same.
Momoko Ando commented on her: "Walking steadily, eating seriously, living an ordinary life, and maintaining the vitality of an ordinary person well." ”
As long as she "meets the eyes" of vegetables in the vegetable market, she will buy them home, prepare to have a showdown with them, and drink a glass of wine by herself when she is happy.
Although she once said in an interview with the morning drama "Wanfu" starring her, "When I took over the baton from Nagano Meiyu, I felt like a pickled dish among these beautiful female stars, and there was no sense of freshness." ”
Naomi Watanabe, who was beside her at the time, told her, "You can also have a pickled radish dish in the morning, which is delicious with rice and good with sake." ”
Who wouldn't love the honest and frank Sakura Ando?!
