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.
'The Errand' is a family story. It was produced in 2007. An elementary
school girl buys cigarettes for her father, but her mother is angry with her because smoking has a lot of negative effects. The girl goes to be with her father who is dying of an illness, presumably cancer. The father asks the girl to buy cigarettes for him. The story is about her going to buy cigarettes for her father. I found this short film very thought-provoking. The girl knows the negative effects of giving cigarettes to her father who is weak. However, I believe that the girl's desire to fulfill her beloved father's wish is very complicated. I also liked the child actor who represented this emotion well. I could understand her feelings through her natural acting. This is why I was drawn into this film. Also, the father looked really in pain and it was very vexing to watch. I thought this short film should be seen by anyone who has a family member who smokes and is in trouble. I thought it would inspire them to stop smoking.
A little girl wants a cigarette for her father. But when she brings a cigarette, she is always scolded by her mother, because he is lung cancer. However he wants a cigarette hardly, so she goes to buy it again as she loves him.
This is a Japanese short movie that is about affection between parents and children. I moved this film. The little girl does not know that the cigarettes connect to his death. She wants her father to be well and wants to do something for him. So she only grants his wish. Her pure heart makes me moved.
What is message of this film? This movie let me think about the effects of cigarette will bring. A schoolgirl's phrase tells everything. I can feel this video reality, thanks to the ordinary actors.

'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.
The film describes a family through cigarettes. The scene which a little girl buys a cigarette makes a surprising impression on your mind, but once you know why she tries to buy a cigarette, you may cheer up. Her mother tells her not to buy cigarette anymore and the girl knows that cigarettes have a bad influence on people, but she goes to buy a cigarette involuntarily. She is kind and supportive. We can learn that kindness and unnecessary support sometimes go completely the opposite of what is intended. This is a Japanese short film. However, this teaches many things to us, I think. It won a prize and is worth watching.
