The Story of Injiro (Japanese title: Man はつらいよ, Man Is Really Hard) is a 48-part comedy film produced by Shochiku Pictures in Japan over the past 30 years (1969-1995), making it the world's longest film series. The film tells the story of Injiro, a prodigal son who loves his hometown but wanders around and loses love, and the drama vividly shows the real life with light and interesting characters and plots, and runs through the beautiful natural and cultural scenery of Japan.
After watching the forty-eighth level without sleep again, I always wanted to talk about this film that accompanied me for thirty years, so I searched on the Internet and suddenly found that many people on the Internet wrote, generally speaking of Japan, many people will argue, only Yamada Yoji's film, only moved.
"Kindness has become the scarcest thing today, and the person who owns it seems to be walking at night, and when he can't hold on, he always thinks of the crazy Ah Yin." When I was in Japan, I heard such a sentence as "What is lost in Japan can be found in Shikoku", one year I traveled around Shikoku with my friends, and I really experienced a simple wind that does not close at night, which is touching, some people say that Japan is a backup hard disk of traditional Chinese culture, which is quite interesting. Belonging to the same Confucian culture, we have many similarities.
In the 1980s, Yoji Yamada's films were almost a household name in China, and "The Call of the Distant Mountains" and "The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness" touched a generation of Chinese, and Zhang Yimou vowed to make a movie for Ken Takakura, and later fulfilled this wish with "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone". Suffice it to say about his influence. Japanese movies and television are small and big, ordinary out of the great shore. I once said that watching Korean dramas will make you cry a lot, and in the end you don't understand what you are crying. And after watching the Japanese drama, you will have a courage in your heart, and your tears will flow in your heart.
The "Injiro Story" series consists of 48 films and has been filmed for 28 years. From about 1966 until 1994. Several of the main characters in the film have basically not changed, such as Atsumi Kiyoshi, who plays Ah Yin, Chieko, who plays Sakura, uncle, aunt, man, factory director, and abbot. There are many stars in the film who play Ayin's "lover", such as Yoshinaga Sayuri, Kurihara Komaki, Matsusaka Keiko, Tanaka Yuko and so on. At the time of filming the last film, Atsumi Kiyoshi, who played Ah Yin, was already terminally ill and knew that he would not live for too long, so he had a final chapter left for countless imaginations and expectations, and Atsumi Kiyoshi died of illness the following year. At the ceremony to commemorate the 13th anniversary of Atsumi Kiyoshi's death, director Yoji Yamada said that he would not look for anyone else to shoot Injiro, but if Atsumi Kiyoshi were alive, he would keep "Injiro's Story" filmed forever
"I grew up in Tokyo, Katsushika Shiba, it was Emperor Shichizu who raised me, my surname is Injiro, and people call me crazy and leper Ain!" (Lyrics) Sister, brother knows that he is not a tool / One day brother will make you happy / To become a real man and work hard / Why am I so unproductive / Today I am in tears again / It is I who shed tears / It is I who regret / It is I who fall into the sewer and can take root / One day brother will enjoy with the lotus / No matter how big the trouble brother will swallow his stomach / Patience does not say / I am afraid that I will not work as hard as today / So rushing ..." This opening lyric I never tired of listening: it is a little sense of sang, Or another kind of feeling, I can't tell.
After watching Injiro, I often remember the words he said to Azumi in episode 42, "Reunion is the beginning of separation.". In fact, isn't life the same, leaving home means about to go home, failure means about to succeed, existence means about to die... This little-eyed, square-faced guy said it so well!
