Otousan no tabako

This short movie creates the nostalgic atmosphere. In the opening scene, children talk cheerfully on their way home from school. It gives a calm impression. However, a girl buys a cigarette for her bedridden father, and her mother scolds her for it. Her mother says that a cigarette destroys his body. Probably, her father is suffering from an illness caused by cigarette. It is a serious scene. Her father asks her to give him a cigarette, but it makes him worse. She is worried in a conflict. I don't understand why her mother scolds her. I think her mother should scold her father. Also, I don't know why this story finishes so comfortably in spite of her father's serious sickness. I am terribly anxious that he might die. I feel pity for the admirable little girl.

A girl's father has a bad cough and is sick in bed because of his serious illness. However, he can't stop smoking. Therefore, he asks his little daughter to buy cigarettes.

This is a Japanese short movie. Each of the cast plays the role very naturally. Especially, I love the little girl's acting. She is very charming. I can sympathize with the scene, where the girl can't turn her father's down even though she knows that her father is telling her a lie. I believe she never wants father's death because of the cigarette. She will just want to believe her father because she loves her father with pure feelings.

This story shows me that everyone has the pure heart. I recommend this film because it is very moving that only the little girl can change her father and the family becomes happy at the end.

This film is cute. There is very clear ups and downs in this film. The daughter tries to get Tabako, but there are some troubles. Same as other many short films, this film does not have many characters. The main character, the daughter's trial for getting Tabako takes large amount of this film. Through this trial, she meets some people, and She have troubles at each time. We can she her feeling at each time clearly. However, I think there are not many exciting feeling for what happens next, because we can expect it through the film. Only ending part was not what I expected though. The ending part is very touching. To sum up, this film is very cute and good, but could not be excited that much for me.

'Otousan no tabako' is a drama about a little girl who tries to get a cigarette for her father. Her father is confined to bed. However, she is asked to buy a cigarette by her father one day. She, of course, knows cigarettes are bad for his health, but she goes out and looks for the cigarette while her mother is going out. I was touched by her admirable spirit. She is just an elementary school pupil, so she can't buy cigarettes because only people over the age of 20 can buy cigarettes in Japan. However, she tries a lot of ways. She walks around and around the town. The scene that most left an impression was that she passes in front of a greengrocer many times. This movie made us think about smoking. We all know that cigarettes are dangerous to health, but some people are partial to it because it makes them feel good. This is a great short and is well worth seeing.

An elementary school girl departs from her friends on the way to her home. However she turns around and starts walking on the street which not leads to her home. And she take out money and put it in a tabacco vending machine and she gets one. Arriving at her home, she finds her mother gets angry about tabacco and her tabacco is confiscated. She moves to another room and there is her father. Her father is dying but he asks her to buy tabacco. She decides to buy tabacco for her father again.

First of all, the little actor who plays Sara is very nice. When her tabacco is taken and she apologizes to her father, her expression is so sad and when a vending machine broke and her 1,000 yen doesn't come back, her expression is so angry. However, this short film is not my favorite, because the story is not clear and I can't sympathize with anyone because characters doesn't fascinate me at all.
