The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。人类已向太阳系发射了40多艘探测器。通过探测器,看到了覆盖整个木星的壮观雷暴,看到了冥王星表面壁立千仞的冰山,也看到了火星表面规模惊人的尘卷风。BBC全新纪录片《太阳系》重磅上线,欢迎大家跟随布莱恩·考克斯教授一起穿越《太阳系》。。第一次世界大战期间,德国政府以漂亮的口号呼吁年轻热情的学生志愿者投身战场保家卫国。一腔热血的德国青年保罗·鲍曼(卢·艾尔斯 Lew Ayres饰)怀着英雄理想投身到一战之中。然而当保罗和他的同学们经过训练后,被派往西线参战时,他们目睹到的却是残酷的饥饿、血腥和死亡。战争的荒谬无情让保罗从迷恋战争到心灰意冷,因伤返乡。可是愚昧的乡民根本不知前线的危急,保罗义愤填膺地向学生陈述战争的无情,西线无战事。他提前结束休假返回前线,在战壕中伸手捕捉一支蝴蝶时,不幸被流弹击中。 由好莱坞著名导演刘易斯·迈尔斯通执导的经典反战题材影片《西线无战事》,改编自德国作家雷马克的同名小说。这部堪称电影史上“最伟大的反战电影”之一的影片,一举荣获1930年第3届奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片、最佳导演和最佳编剧提名。导演用简明精练的镜头再现了惨绝人寰的战争实况,也以细腻流畅的手法写活了保罗爱国迷梦的幻灭。影片结尾处保罗捉蝴蝶被子弹击中的镜头,已成为电影史上的经典瞬间。。
