【素晴らしき世界】2021年公開
レールを踏み外さないまでも、正義感が強くて妥協するのが苦手で、周りと馴染めず生きている人って皆さんの周りにも少なからず居るんじゃないでしょうか?回りにとか言いながら自分にも多少その気があるかもと考えたりもします。(特に二十代の頃は熱すぎたかも😎)
今回、紹介する映画の主人公の三上(役所広司)も弱い者いじめが許せない正義感と、キレやすい狂気を併せ持つ男です。
裏社会で生きてきて人生の大半を刑務所で過ごしてきた三上が、殺人罪で13年の刑期を終えて出所するシーンから映画は始まります。
身元引き受け人の弁護士(橋爪功)の助けを借りて生活保護を受けながら、堅気として自立する為に就職活動を始めます。
そんな三上に偏見などの社会の壁が幾度となく立ちはだかります。
それでも三上を万引き犯と勘違いしたスーパーの店長(六角精児)や福祉課の生活保護担当者(北村有起哉)が暖かく見守ります。
敏腕プロデューサー(長澤まさみ)の指示で、前科者の出所後のドキュメンタリー番組を撮るために近づくフリーディレクター津乃田(仲野太賀)を大きく巻き込んで物語は破滅的な方向へ向かっていきます、、、。
公開されたばかりでこれから映画館に足を運ばれる方も多いと思うので、お話はこの辺でやめときます。
どこかで妥協しながら生きている我々の社会が素晴らしいのか、人は変われるのか否か?西川美和監督が切なく胸を抉ります。
[Wonderful world] Released in 2021 Even if you don’t step on the rails, there are quite a few people around you who have a strong sense of justice and are not good at compromising and are living unfamiliar with their surroundings. While saying things around me, I also think that I may have some hairiness. (Especially when I was in my twenties, it might have been too hot) Mikami (Koji Yakusho), the main character of the movie introduced this time, is also a man who has a sense of justice that weak bullying cannot tolerate and madness that is easy to sharpen. The film begins with a scene in which Mikami, who has lived in the underworld and spent most of his life in prison, is released after a 13-year sentence for murder. With the help of his underwriter’s lawyer (Isao Hashizume), he begins job hunting in order to be steadfast and independent while receiving welfare protection. Social barriers such as prejudice stand against Mikami many times. The supermarket manager (Seiji Rokkaku) who misunderstood Mikami as a shoplifter and the welfare officer (Yukiya Kitamura) warmly watch over. At the direction of a talented producer (Masami Nagasawa), the story goes in a catastrophic direction, involving the free director Tsunoda (Taiga Nakano) who is approaching to shoot a documentary program after the release of the former criminal record. I think that many people will come to the movie theater just after it was released, so I will stop talking about it. Is our society living with compromise somewhere wonderful, or will people change? Director Miwa Nishikawa painfully digs her breasts.
