Product Information
現在の自分に漠然とした物足りなさを感じている27歳のOL岡島タエ子は、休暇を取って姉の夫の実家がある山形へ出掛ける。東京育ちのタエ子は、小さな頃から田舎のある生活に憧れていたのだ。旅の途中で、彼女はふと小学5年生の自分を思い出してしまう。一度蘇った思い出はタエ子から離れていかなかった。小学5年生、それは女の子が一つ階段を昇って成長するためのさなぎの季節なのかもしれない。いくつも思い出が浮かんでくるのは、自分に再びさなぎの季節が巡ってきたのだろうか。もう一度、自分を見つめ直す時なのかもしれないと、タエ子は思いをはせていく。山形駅に着いたタエ子を待っていたのは、新しい農業に意欲を燃やしている青年、トシオとの出会いだった。紅花摘みに田んぼの草取り、リンゴの袋がけ。トシオの案内でタエ子は田舎の気分を満喫する。自然と調和しながら生きている農家の人々の姿に、地に足の着いた生活の魅力を発見するのだった。そして、東京へ帰る日の前夜、おばあちゃんから、思いもかけない話題が出る。 「Ｍａｋｉｎｇ ｏｆ おもひでぽろぽろ」／絵コンテ／予告編集

Professional Review of "Only Yesterday (Japan Version - English Subtitles)"
This professional review refers to Only Yesterday (VCD) (Hong Kong Version)
|
Childhood is a time of powerlessness. Children are dependent and beholden on their parents. Childhood is often governed by familial forces that seem brutally unfair. As we move into adulthood, we nostalgically long for those carefree days forgetting that rules by which we were governed were frequently confusing and inscrutable. Director Isao Takahata explored some of these themes in Grave of the Fireflies. He returns to these them in a gentler, though no less powerful way in Only Yesterday. Okajima Taeko is an office worker who comes across as a little aloof from her co-workers. As she embarks on her holiday, Okasjima's story is intercut with memories of her childhood. These reminiscences reveal the young Okajima as far less academically inclined than her two older sisters. Okajima deals stoically with the air of disappointment that her family projects at her underachievement. This is one of the frustrations of childhood. The sense that we cannot do the right thing in our parent's eyes, yet are powerless to do anything about it. Okajima's reminiscence is broken by her arrival at the farm. There, she embraces the hard, repetitive work of picking safflowers, flowers used for dyeing clothes that ironically, only the rich could afford, not the peasant girls who picked them. Only Yesterday is full of these stories of life's small frustrations and disappointments and a child's seeming invulnerability: the young Okajima is the only one he remains in town while her friends go on holidays at the anticipation then the disappointment of eating a fresh not canned pineapple. These beautiful vignettes capture those almost forgotten feelings where small events take on huge significance in a child's life. Only Yesterday marvellously captures the feeling of life in Japan both past and present. It shows us family dynamics and social rituals that are both familiar yet at the same time culturally different. There is something compelling to Okajima's joyful desire to work on a farm for holidays and her poignant childhood memories trigger one's own empathy gland. If this was all Only Yesterday did, it would be a fine film. However, it is a Studio Ghibli film and Okajima's childhood stories subtlety impact on her adult life, a life that has engendered her with unacknowledged feelings of dissatisfaction. Only Yesterday is a deeply human film. It shows us things about ourselves and influences on our lives we have little time to acknowledge. Okajima's epiphany has far more power than Vin Diesel's whole back catalog and her change, although small, is profound in its understanding of people's need to belong and choose a life that is meaningful and productive. If you have only been exposed to Myazaki's masterpieces, you are missing half of what Studio Ghibli is about. While Myazaki leans toward fantasy and epic, Studio Ghibli's smaller, more intimate and personal films show that there is no scale they cannot do. 10 windy days out of 10 by Andrew Symons - heroic-cinema.com |

This anime is about a lady in her late twenties traving back to her hometown for a visit. During her travel, she sees things around her that reminds her of her childhood, bitter and sweet. She eventually reaches her hometown and meets her family and even other people. A romance developes later... It's a pretty cute story but a little boring because I was expecting something more exciting... |

This is a very good cartoon. The ending with the couple could be more clear and better! It could be better if there are conversations with happiness between the lovers instead of pure music without anyone talking!! |
