Kikujiro
Trama
Aquí está el resumen de la trama de "Kikujiro": En esta aclamada película, Kikujiro, un vagabundo con un carácter difícil, se convierte en el improbable compañero de viaje de Masao, un niño que busca a su madre. El viaje comienza cuando Masao, quien nunca ha conocido a su madre, parte de su pueblo natal rural hacia Tokio, impulsado por un fuerte deseo de reunirse con ella. Kikujiro, descarado, ruidoso y oportunista, une fuerzas con Masao, explotando la ingenuidad e inocencia del niño para su propio beneficio. Mientras navegan por las complejidades de la cultura y sociedad japonesas, sus aventuras los llevan a una serie de desventuras, desde perderse en la naturaleza hasta encontrarse con diversos personajes excéntricos. En el camino, Kikujiro enseña a Masao las duras realidades de la vida, mientras él mismo aprende valiosas lecciones sobre la amabilidad, la empatía y la importancia de la conexión humana. A medida que se acercan a Tokio, su relación evoluciona de un mero conocimiento a un vínculo profundo, marcado por momentos de ternura, humor y conmoción. A través del exterior rudo de Kikujiro, vislumbramos un alma vulnerable, anhelando amor y aceptación. Mientras tanto, la inocencia de Masao se erosiona gradualmente a medida que se enfrenta a las duras realidades de la vida en la ciudad. A lo largo de su viaje, el director Hirokazu Kore-eda teje magistralmente temas de la maravilla infantil, la crítica social y la conexión humana, creando un rico tapiz que es a la vez humorístico y conmovedor. Con su impresionante cinematografía, actuaciones memorables y una narración conmovedora, "Kikujiro" se ha convertido en un clásico querido del cine japonés.

The ending brought me to tears. Overwhelmed by an immense sense of loneliness.

It's known that Takeshi Kitano had a strained relationship with his mother. As his career began to flourish, she would constantly pressure him for money each month, often resorting to verbal abuse over the phone if there were any delays. Kitano was deeply resentful of his mother's greed and materialism, even considering not attending her funeral when she passed away. Later, his elder brother presented him with two mementos left by their mother: a letter and a bankbook. The letter read: "My son, you've been a restless spirit since childhood, and I worry you'll end up with nothing..." The bankbook contained ten million yen.

100 out of 100 people will assume Kikujiro is the little boy in the film just from seeing the title. Even after watching it, the same assumption will likely resurface whenever they see the title again.

Never have I seen such tender-hearted rascality, never have I seen such rascally tenderness.
