Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。Catherine Jamison(Laura Linney饰演)是名高中老师。她有个处于青春期、不太听话的儿子Adam(Gabriel Basso饰演),和人到中年、行事却极不成熟的丈夫Paul(Oliver Platt饰演),还有一个受过高等教育,却摒弃主流生活,甘愿当流浪汉的弟弟Sean(John Benjamin Hickey饰演)。Cathy平时循规蹈矩,日子过得波澜不惊。忽然有一天,她得知自己身患癌症,与死神近在咫尺,从未曾恣意放纵,从未曾随心所欲,生命却即将走向终点;Cathy心有不甘,她决定在生命最后阶段放松一下,做自己真正想做的事,这些事有的看似疯狂,有的看似绝望,有的又充满温情,它们都代表面对死亡时,主人公释放的真实自我。 第一季中提到,住在Cathy家对面的Marlene(Phyllis Somerville饰演)患有老年痴呆症...。《曼蒂》《恐懼虛空》製作團隊打造最新駭人懼作 《最後生還者》幕後團隊打造駭人場面溫子仁欽點「厲陰宅宇宙」新銳導演尼可范德布林克執導家族的詛咒,將永遠糾纏著你… 喪偶的貝翠克(莎莉哈姆森飾)帶著女兒回到位於荷蘭某沼澤地邊緣的老家,與關係疏遠的父母同住。與此同時,沼澤地裡出土一批詭異的木乃伊,丹麥考古學家喬納斯(亞歷山大維爾奧姆飾)來到此地進行調查,並與貝翠克結識。兩人在發掘木乃伊背後祕密的過程中,周遭開始出現各種怪事,而這可能跟貝翠克的家族有關……。。
