Otousan no tabako

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.

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.

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.

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.
