The film mainly tells the story of Yasumoto, a medical graduate from Nagasaki who wanted to be a doctor for the general, when his father asked him to go down to visit Niide (the red beard, named after the reddish beard), the chief physician of the Koishikawa Clinic, only to find out after arriving. I was arranged to intern in this small clinic with extremely harsh environment in the backcountry. After feeling that it was a scam and that he had to work in this humble clinic full of poor people, Yasumoto felt a sense of resistance, believing that he was overkill, deliberately drinking alcohol and refusing to wear a doctor's uniform to destroy the clinic set by Red Beard. Rules, trying to be disgusting and being driven away. . . However, a scene of redemption is also quietly staged during this ordinary time.
The first part of Yasumoto's redemption
Although he is a graduate of a medical school, Yasumoto's understanding of doctors, in his words, is that "a doctor can make a lot of money by treating cataracts." In his opinion, medical knowledge is his Gaining benefits and status is a stepping stone, so he refused to show the notebook to Red Beard, and took it for granted. What he wanted was to leave this filthy place early and become the general's personal doctor.
Was Yasumoto wrong? At first I didn't think he was right, just as he took it for granted, because he and I have one thing in common, that is, we don't know anything about what a doctor is. So he can be arrogant and indifferent to the patient, so he doesn't know anything about the misfortune behind the disease, he just immerses himself in his small world, thinking about how unfortunate he is.
In this small clinic, when Yasumoto inevitably intrudes into the patient's world, he also begins to step out of his own world, and redemption begins when he discovers this other world. He began to understand the misfortune behind the disease, and when he merged into those misfortunes, he became sympathetic and tolerant towards the patient. There is also a real understanding of the doctor's identity, which is why after helping Otoyo recover, Yasumoto will cry bitterly at the red beard and confess "I am a despicable person", which is exactly what he did to himself before. Denial of physician's identity recognition. When he was saying this, he had truly achieved salvation, not heavy, but light and relieved. Perhaps this is also the reason why Rask Nikov in Crime and Punishment was finally relieved. When he truly recognized his guilt, it was a relief.
The second part of Sahachi's redemption
Sahachi is an ordinary poor man, but he does his best to help the people around him like a saint. On a stormy night, he who is about to die tells a secret. Before he moved here, he had a wife. They met and fell in love and had a happy home. However, in an earthquake, their home collapsed and his wife was gone. He thought she was dead and moved away. She went to that sad place, but two years later, they met on the street. She was carrying an 8-month-old child on her back. Although she was heartbroken, when she parted, he just asked, "We will never meet again." Now, isn't it?", there was no answer, only a painful parting.
He was ill, and she came to see him, begged his forgiveness, and told him things he didn't know. Before she knew him, she had promised someone else, that person was kind to their family, so even after she and Sahachi had a happy family, she still felt guilty from time to time, the happier she was, the more she felt herself The sin was heavy, and she felt that God would punish her, and the earthquake, she felt, was just the beginning, so she decided to go back and pay back what she owed. . . However, when she met him again, she no longer knew where she was, ever? Now? Which is the real self? Where is your home? So she chose to die in Sahachi's arms.
Sahachi is heartbroken and at the same time guilty of making her future husband and children sad, and he feels that the only thing he can do is make amends, make amends to all the people he knows, to atone for his sins.
The third part: Otoyo's redemption
Otoyo lost both her parents when she was a child, and lived in the land of fireworks. As she got older, she was forced to engage in this business. She only resisted silently. For this reason, even when she had a high fever, she was not beaten. , Red Beard rescued her and brought her back to the Koishikawa Clinic for treatment, so she became Yasumoto's first patient. Otoyo doesn't trust anyone, that's what her mother told her and what happened to her later on, so she's hostile to everyone. However, Otoyo is kind, but she has suffered too much, so Yasumoto wept bitterly in front of her, for her and for himself, what happened to Otoyo let him know how frivolous his life was and how much he was ignorance and indifference.
Otoyo is kind, so she will try to do something to repay, even if she is begging after breaking the bowl, she will not stop when she sees Chobo stealing porridge, even if she eats less, she will give to Chobo's family, She is like an angel, carrying suffering and giving people warmth, and people are redeemed in front of her.
What is redemption? In my opinion, the process of returning people to a real human state is redemption, although this statement is naive to make people laugh.
