暑假將至，高中二年級的由香里（工藤夕貴飾）的暑期功課「戰爭再體驗」。原來，由香里所住的地區是1945年美軍空襲東京時受災最嚴重的一區，老師要同學趁著暑假，向父母請教當時的經歷，寫成十頁以上的報告。一直認為戰爭乃「事不關己」的由香里，想起經常呆坐在公園的早季子姑媽，可惜她只不停地凝望著電柱，哼著童謠，由香里無法與她溝通。後來，她從爸爸的口中得知年輕時的早季子（工藤夕貴飾）在二戰的慘痛經歷，而她那未滿一歲的女兒就是於空襲當晚在那支電柱旁邊失蹤，而她四十多年來一直在守候在那電柱旁，期待女兒有一天會出現。
可惜，早季姑媽不久便去世了。此時，從韓國來了一個會說日文的女士，她聲稱自己是空襲時的孤兒，可能正是早季子一直在找的女兒……
日本社會派大導今井正遺作；工藤夕貴一人分飾兩角，技驚四座，獲藍絲帶最佳女主角獎。
Yuta Hanabusa runs an auto repair shop in a section of Tokyo beside the Sumida River. His daughter Yukari has an uncommon interest in what happened to her aunt, Sakiko, during World War II, but her father tends to avoid the topic. At last Yuta begins to unfold to his daughter what befell her aunt during the war. In the terror of the March 10, 1945 air raid, when America's B-29s rained death upon Tokyo as a preface to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Sakiko lost her little girl. For all of forty-five years Sakiko has been waiting for her child to return, frequently standing near the telephone pole which survived the holocaust, the last place she saw the girl. After Sakiko passed away, a Japanese woman with a Korean name of Lee Soon-ik, comes back from Korea to look for her long lost mother. Yukari wonders if she is her aunt's daughter who had long been missing...

Creatively told war story
|
"War and Youth" is about a high school girl doing her homework. That doesn't sound very interesting? Don't let me mislead you. This is a very good, very powerful, and fascinating film. On the last day of the 1995 school year, a Tokyo high school class is given a summer vacation homework assignment. They must write a 10-page paper on how the Second World War affected their family. We follow one young student as she seeks to interview her father and his brain-addled sister about their experience of the war. What she encounters, through a series of vivid flashbacks of the fire-bombing of Tokyo, is a romantic, mysterious, and horrific story about a cousin she never knew she had. While it describes the civilian deaths in the bombing of Tokyo as "murders", it is to the credit of this fine film that it acknowledges frankly the brutal conduct of Japan in China and elsewhere. However, by telling its story through the bright young eyes of this fresh-faced high school girl, the film never feels heavy-handed or oppressive. I recommend this film very highly for a general audience. |
