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.

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.

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.

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.

'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.
