Following A Sun (陽光普照), the second film in our Bridging Generations Film Festival is Hirokazu Kore-eda's acclaimed 2008 masterpiece, Still Walking (横山家の味; 歩いても 歩いても; 步履不停).

There are no dramatic twists or spectacular events. Instead, the film follows an ordinary family during their annual reunion—sharing meals, preparing food, chatting, offering prayers, and taking a walk together. Through these quiet moments, Kore-eda gently reveals the unspoken emotions, expectations, gratitude, disappointments, and enduring love that shape family relationships across generations.

Perhaps we will recognize our own parents in one of the characters. Perhaps we will recognize ourselves.

Still Walking reminds us that families are often remembered not because of life's extraordinary moments, but because of the ordinary days that quietly become lifelong memories.

Rather than rushing to analyze the film, we invite you simply to experience it. There are no standard answers—only an opportunity to reflect on our own families and the moments that have shaped us.

If the film leaves you wanting to continue the conversation, perhaps it begins quietly—with yourself, with a friend, or with your family on the way home. With curiosity, empathy, and respect, we hope this film becomes another bridge between generations.

Bridging Generations 電影系列（二）

《橫山家の味》（Still Walking，2008）

平凡的一天，不平凡的一生

當愛沒有說出口，會留下什麼？

繼《陽光普照》之後，「Bridging Generations 世代共融」電影系列第二場，我們將一起欣賞日本導演是枝裕和於 2008 年推出的經典作品《橫山家の味》（步履不停）。

這部電影沒有驚心動魄的情節，卻能在散場後久久留在心中。

故事描寫一個普通家庭一年一度的團聚：一家人做飯、吃飯、聊天、祭拜、散步。在這些看似平凡的日常裡，我們看見父母與子女、手足與伴侶之間那些未曾說出口的情感、彼此的期待、深藏的牽掛，以及歲月留下的遺憾。

也許，我們會在某個角色身上看見自己的父母；也許，也會看見自己。

《橫山家の味》提醒我們，家庭最深刻的記憶，往往不是來自人生的重要時刻，而是那些日復一日、看似微不足道，卻陪伴我們一生的平凡日常。

我們不急著分析電影，也沒有標準答案。只希望透過這部作品，靜靜感受它所帶來的觸動，重新想起自己的家庭、自己的成長，以及那些曾經來不及說出口的話。

如果電影讓你想繼續思考，或許，真正的對話才正要開始——和自己、和朋友，或是在回家的路上，和家人一起。在好奇、同理與尊重中，讓一部電影成為跨越世代的一座橋樑。
