A tale of acceptance and finding joy in life
Such a great film, it's such a simple concept but contains so many emotions which is executed in a amazing way by the actors. A lighthearted film which showcases one of the most crucial uprising issues in the corpoative world, feeling unsatisfied with your job.In just my experience, i never find satisfaction or pleasure in my work and i always find myself thinking of just quitting everything for an slow pace life, but i can never leave the hamster wheel and continue running in circles.
This film portrayed the challenges in life in a simplistic way with light hearted humor in times. I just loved the score and all actors in this film, highly recommend to anybody who feels their life is too complicated

Natsukashii
So far the latest movie of the late and great director Yamada Yoji. Known for his legendary Otoko wa tsurai yo movie series, the samurai trilogy and all the others. Now the third time with legendary actress Sayuri Yoshinaga, among the finest selection of supporting actors / actresses: Min Tanaka, Kankuro Kudo, YOU, Mei Nagano, Akira Terao and even Yo Oizumi who I usually dislike, did an amazing job.Yoji Yamada was 91 years old, telling this story from the point of view of someone of his age. The story takes us to the old style neighborhood in northeastern Tokyo, similar to the Tora-san movies.
Otoko wa tsurai yo? Yes, this may be the theme here: The family man played by Oi Yuzumi is struggeling in his job as HR manager. And here he is losing his connection to friends and his family: his wife, his daughter and his mother and we see how these connections are being rebuilt.
A much softer tone than in the Kazoku wa tsurai yo movie trilogy, much more natsukashii, just like in the old Tora-san movies.
And to those wo don't know the works of Yoji Yamada: If you've enjoyed the recent movie Perfect Days, then this one is surely one for you.
Highly recommended.
BTW: why do I have to rate the music for this review? So I rated it 10 out of 10 and please put it to blame on MDL.
