Three Days in Kamakura

David is an English teacher for kids and lives with his wife, Keiko. There is a problem in their relationship. One student, who is a half- Japanese, half-Western boy, comes to David's English class. His mother is always late to pick him up. She doesn't come to school one day. David takes the boy home. David and Keiko spend a good time with the boy. Keiko says that David should call the police. However, David sees the boy's existence as fate, and says they can keep him and raise him together... This movie was a short human drama, made in 2012. I was sad watching this, but it was interesting that the role of calming the mental state shifts from David to Keiko. They always support each other and the existence of the boy has changed their relationship well. I think this aspect gives hope to viewers. This movie is worth watching. You'll be reminded that everyone has hurt experiences in their life.

Three days in Kamakura is a story of a Japanese woman and English man. They are a couple. They do not have their child. The husband, David, works as an English teacher for young children. The wife has a ill,melancholia, that her nervous break down. Maybe the reason is neighborhood, Mrs Yamaha. She cares about the couple anytime. One day, Gabrielle Jiei, the student of David leaves the room. His mother doesn't come back. She got involved a train accident. David takes a charge of him until can get the phone of his family. Through the series of this incident, the wife changes a little by little.

I think that a little thing can change a big thing after watching this movie. At the last scene, the wife invites Mrs Yamaha she hates. While she spend time with Jiei, something in her mind changed. The last, I think that her illness may be happened by losing their child. The power children have can't measure.

A British man is teaching English to children in an English school in Japan. There is a child whose mother seems to be busy so that she is always late to pick him up. One day, his mother does not come to pick him up. The man calls the mother several times but she does not answer the phone. What happened to her? And what is the relationship to the accident that happened in Kamakura recently?

In the film, David, the man teaching English, lives together with his Japanese partner Keiko. They are a general family but they don't seem to have happy lives. That is because Keiko cannot have a child for some reason. However, there is nothing said in dialogue that tell us this fact. We have to speculate from a scene in the shower. I thought that this film expresses many facts non-directly. The dialogue is kept to a minimum and the other information we need is expressed by the characters' actions and facial expressions.

This is the story that a husband and wife make sure their love and regenerate their relationship. A man lives with just his wife, but these days they don't get on very well. The man wants to do something about this situation, but he doesn't know what he should do.

I think the acting of the wife is really sensitive and great because her feeling changes completely from the beginning to the ending. She shows the change of her mind well in her look and manner. I think her change is most important factor in this film. In addition, the acting of the husband is also really nice. I could feel his kindness and love towards his wife from first to last.

The music is also nice. I feel it's beautiful because it fits each scene of this film. This music is fleeting but delightful, so I like it. I think that it's very difficult for unrelated people to become a family, but that's exactly why we feel happiness when we can understand each other.

Three Days in Kamakura is a film that is the story of three days when a boy comes to a couple and their hearts are touched. What I find most wonderful about this film is that I can feel Keiko and David's shifting feelings for the child through their words and acting. I know from one scene that no children will be born to them. So David tries to raise the boy themselves, but Keiko says that's a bad idea. Perhaps Keiko also wants a child, but she persuades David, and David is convinced by Keiko's thoughts and changes his mind. At this time, they usually speak in English, but it is impressive that Keiko says the most important part in Japanese. I believe this is a very effective method in conveying thoughts and feelings. Also, there is a lot of foreshadowing, each of which is an important scene, and it is very pleasant to watch as it is all recovered through the film. I recommend this film because we can feel the emotional transitions of the couple who are in a complicated state of mind due to various overlapping circumstances through their sensitive words and expressions.
