Product Information
田舎での生活を通じ自分に大切な"何か"を見つけていく女性の姿を描いた高畑勲監督による大ヒット作。 1982年、東京。現在の生活になんとなく物足りなさを感じているタエ子は27歳。東京生まれで東京育ちのタエ子にとって田舎は憧れの場所。10日間の休暇を取り、姉の結婚で出来た山形の親戚の家へと旅立つ。しかしタエ子には奇妙な連れがいた。姉さんたちとの思い出話をきっかけに現れた過去の"ワタシ"がどうしても脳裏から離れない。1966年、東京。当時10歳のタエ子にとっては些細な日常でさえも切実で真剣な出来事。給食、初恋、分数の割り算、懐かしくもはがゆい数々の記憶が甦り、現在の自分に問いかけてくる。小学5年生。それは女の子が一つの階段を上っていく、さなぎの季節なのかもしれない。そして今、自分にまたさなぎの時期が巡ってきたのだろうか。タエ子は思いをはせていく。山形に到着したタエ子を迎えたのは、有機農業に情熱を燃やす青年・トシオ。タエ子は時には真剣に、時にはくだけて農業のこと、自然のことを教えてくれるトシオに好意を抱きながら、田舎の生活に身を浸していく。しかし、明日東京に帰るという日に、本家の婆っちゃの突然の言葉がタエ子を驚かす。思いがけない申し出に動揺し、タエ子はたまらず家を飛び出してしまう…。 映像特典：絵コンテ映像（マルチアングルで本編とリンク・119分）／劇場予告編／「Making of おもひでぽろぽろ」（1991年度TV放送作品を再編集・46分）

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!! |
