Otousan no tabako

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.

By watching this movie, I remember my grandfather. He was a heavy smoker and he always smoked until he got his first grandson. After my brother was born, he stopped smoking. That is why I have never seen his smoking. My father was kind and he loved us very much. We also really love him, I was looking forward to seeing him. When I was 12 years old, he died because of stomach cancer. I have no image that my grandfather smokes but I imagine if I were in this movie's situation. My grandfather was in a hospital, I always thought "What can I do for him?" "What does he hope?" "I want to do everything he wants," because I really loved him. I wanted to make him smile. The girl I this movie also loves her father. She knows that cigarettes are not good for his health but she wants to do everything he wants, as I was so before. I can feel nostalgia, sadness and warmth by this movie.

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 is the story about one family. The father is sick. He cannot give up to smoke. He really want to smoke cigarette, but he cannot go out from bet. So, he ask his daughter to buy cigarette. The daughter bought it, but her mother scolds her. He must give up to smoke. The daughter cannot understand why her father must not smoke. She worry about his father because he looks very painful, and she understand the father want to smoke. She wants her father to be fine. a delinquent girl appears to the daughter. She smokes. The daughter says to the girl "Please give me a cigarette."

I like this movie. It is because I can see love in their family, The daughter really worries about her father. I like last scene, but I cannot tell the last scene because if I tell it, it will be board for you.

I think you should watch this movie with your family.

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.
