「明日の記憶」という映画を見たよ
I watched a movie “Ashita No Kioku”.
主人公は、私と同い年のサラリーマンで
アルツハイマーで苦しんでいる
The hero in this movie is a business man
who is the same age as I am.
He is suffering from Alzheimer disease.
派手な映画じゃないけど、とても良かった
This is not a gorgeous type of movie,
but it is impressive.
どの家族にも素晴しい歴史があるね
Every family has its great history.
渡辺謙さんが、どうして、「さゆり」の撮影中で
ハリウッドだったのに、原作者に手紙を書いて
映画化をお願いしたのか、わかる気がした。
I understand why Ken Watanabe wrote a letter
to the author of the original novel and asked him
to make it into a movie directly, even though
he was in the middle of shooting “sayuri”
in Hollywood.
