【生きる】 (1952)これは志村喬の一番の作品ではないだろうか。30年間のお役所勤め。真面目に働いて来たある男性がある日、自分が胃がんである事を知る。あまりのショックに家族にも告げられず、今まで休んだ事のなかった仕事も翌日から無断欠勤する。その中で彼は残りの人生について考え始める．．．
映画が終わりに近づくにつれ、すすり泣きが聞こえるようになった。とても日本らしいものを描いている作品だと思う。時に憤りを覚えつつ、情けなくなります。それにしてもこのポスターはちょっとホラーだな．．．
Ikiru (1952)
(First of all, I'm scared of this poster!!)
It's about a man who finds out that he has a cancer and is going to die. He is in shock and can't even tell his only son about it. He starts to think about his life. Different memories in the past. And he tries to "live" (hence the title) for the rest of his life. This man is played by Kurosawa's favourite Takashi Shimura, and he represents an old man who has been working for the goverernment in the last thirty years and hasn't done anything fun. (In my opinion, this could be his best performance.)
It's a funny and beautiful but very sad film. I heard several people (mostly old lady) weeping towards the end.
