This film can be roughly divided into two parts, one is about Watanabe himself; the other is about the content of the staff through Watanabe:
Watanabe, an ordinary citizen section chief, who has been working every day for 30 years All the same, no passion and no novelty, just like the nickname "Mummy" given by the female staff, he has to keep looking at his watch to waste his time; however, the sudden stomach cancer changed him, and he decided to use the little time he had left to enjoy himself. Enjoying, eating, drinking and having fun, not going to work during the day, and not going home at night; extreme joy produces sadness, and after enjoyment comes endless sadness and fear, and dare not face the life that is about to come to an end; but the words of the female staff make him feel like a dick , determined to help citizens build parks to enrich and make life meaningful.
A group of staff chatted about Watanabe and the park while eating at Watanabe's memorial service: at first, because of the fear of the deputy mayor, they agreed in unison that the deputy mayor did not recognize Watanabe's contribution to the construction of the park; the deputy mayor left Later, a brave staff first decided to rectify Watanabe's name. Although it was difficult to support him alone, the truth was the truth. The bright side of human nature was illuminated bit by bit through the spirit of drinking. Hardships, praised Watanabe vigorously and shouted to learn "Watanabe Spirit" and be a good public servant of the people. When I saw this, I looked at the time, and there were 7 minutes left. I knew that Akira Kurosawa needed to use these 7 minutes to make a reversal of human nature.
Watanabe's incident is over, the original deployment was promoted to section chief, when an overflowing document was handed over to the section chief, he kicked it to the civil engineering department like the beginning of the movie... At this time, I thought the staff kicked the chair and stood up Get up, glaring at the section chief, what can he do when he sees that all the staff who shouted to learn from Watanabe that night are all silent...
Actually we don't need to praise Watanabe, as it is said in the film , This is his responsibility and work as the chief of the Citizenship Section. To put it simply, "he does this." Do we still have to write a hymn for a person's daily food, drink and Lazarus? This is a morbid society, a society that begins to enrich one's life only after knowing that one's life is near; a society that is praised even for doing one's own job...
