family

Simple lines, with a hint of color where it's needed.
"My Neighbor Yamada-kun" gives me the same feeling as its painting style, plain but full of affection.

I remember a scene where Yamada-kun called his family at the station to bring an umbrella. But on the phone, he could hear the family pushing each other. Yamada-kun said angrily that he bought an umbrella. The old wife said quickly: Then bring some meat back by the way. Yamada-kun rushed into the supermarket to buy an umbrella, and stopped for a while after passing the place selling meat products. Finally bought it. When he was walking silently in the rain, he saw a family coming towards him with umbrellas. There was no sound on the screen, only they were smiling and helping each other to get things and walking home together.

This movie is to present the trivial scenes in our lives, those joys and frustrations.
The one who can continue as a family is what Yamada-kun called "forgiveness".
The ups and downs in life, two people can walk through with the support.

Husband and wife are the only close relationship that is not established by blood. So the difference between it and family is that it "can choose". Family is not a choice, no matter good or bad, you can only accept and tolerate unconditionally. It is the dream of many people to live together forever. Only when each other recognizes each other as a real family can they live in peace until they grow old. When you say

"firmly believe, don't think about things other than two people" , you are a real man.

  • Noboru Yamada: The reason the Yamadas get along fine is because all three adults are nuts. If one of you were normal it would unbalance the rest.
