《男人之苦》第33集，導演山田洋次自言是一次探討愛情「悲苦」之旅。 寅次郎（渥美清飾）在東北岩手縣盛岡市遇上久違了的兄弟登（秋野太作飾），發現對方已成家立室，不再飄泊，腳踏實地過日子。寅不禁慨嘆自己一把年紀，還浪蕩人生，所以當他在北海道遇上風子（中原理惠飾）時，便警惕她要努力工作，嫁個老實人，踏實地生活。但風子恃著年青，渴望像寅一樣浪跡天涯，體驗人生，最後還搭上了電單車手東尼（渡瀨恆彥飾）。明知與浪子東尼戀愛，沒有好下場，但風子卻不能自拔。「世界上有帶來幸福的戀愛，也有帶有悲傷的戀愛」，導演今次要說的是後者。《男人之苦》系列中罕見地對愛情提出傷感、保守的答案。 此外，社長的女兒明美（美保純飾）亦由今集起至第39集成為主要人物之一。

Memorable Tora-San film
|
"Tora-San's Marriage Counselor", the 33rd film in this great series, juggles several storylines in pursuit of one of the series' most emotionally satisfying films. At the heart of the movie is the story of Fuko (Rie Nakahara), a beautiful but lost young woman. Her mother abandoned her when she was a child and, since that tragic day, she has been drifting rootlessly through life, taking barbering jobs when she needs money, then moving on. Fuko bonds with Tora over their similar lifestyles and travels with him around Hokkaido. She is attracted to carnival motorcycle rider Tony (Tsunehiko Watase -- a familiar face to fans of Fukasaku Kinji's movies), but Tora discourages the relationship. He seeks a more stable life for her. Together with the story of Fuko, the film dips into several other lives. For the first time in the series, we meet Akemi (Jun Miho), the Octopus's tomboyish daughter, who is getting married. She makes such a strong impression in her short time on screen, particularly as -- at Sakura's urging -- she thanks her father for all he has done for her, that director Yamada Yoji made her a series regular. We also meet again Tora's old friend Noboru (Taisaku Akino), who has settled into the kind of stable married life Tora seeks for Fuko. Noboru runs a small shop with his wife and is the proud father of a pretty little girl. He invites Tora to his home to spend the night eating and drinking, but Tora abruptly leaves, not wanting his old buddy to become enticed again by his rootless existence. Finally, we meet a man who seeks to restore the stability of his old life; his wife has left him and he seeks to fetch her back. Tora and Fuko support him by accompanying him to his wife's new home. Throughout all of these storylines we see a contrast between Tora's ramblings and stable marriages. While others view Tora's life as seductive and carefree, Tora knows that it is a cold, dreary dead end. Like in no other movie in the series, we are made to feel the despair of life as a drifter. Of course, the film also includes all the humor we come to expect of the series. Indeed, the movie's ending provides an uncharacteristic bit of goofy slapstick humor. I recommend "Tora-San's Marriage Counselor" very highly. |
