Plot: A Sections Chief of a Govt dept who has carried on with a highly mundane work lifestyle for 30 years is diagnosed with stomach cancer. In his pursuit of 'living' life for at least the remaining days, he is helped by a part-time writer & then by a cheerful junior of his. Inspired by her lifestyle, he takes up a pending park construction problem & with steely determination,forces the unwilling mayor to construct it & dies,earning the respects of his colleagues,son & the public!
Highlights:
- The very essence of the film is highly appreciable - The protagonist taking a negative thing and trying to make something good out of it.
- The screenplay employed by Kurosawa makes this even more interesting to watch.
- The works of Takashi Shimura and the girl who plays the ever happy subordinate of his.
The film ends on a negative note(even though that is what would happen practically,a positive end would have added weight to the reformer's character).
My Rating: 9.4/10
