ご冥福をお祈りいたします。

令和03年01月04日　月曜日

　京都・太秦を拠点に、時代劇の斬（き）られ役を半世紀以上にわたり担い、「５万回斬られた男」の異名を持つ俳優の福本清三（ふくもと・せいぞう）さんが１日、肺がんのため死去した。７７歳。兵庫県香美町出身。自宅は京都市。葬儀・告別式は親族らで行った。

　中学卒業後、京都市内の米店で半年ほど働いた後、映画黄金時代の１９５８（昭和３３）年末、１５歳で東映京都撮影所（京撮）の大部屋俳優になった。雑兵などの役を経て、６３年から立ち回りに絡み、市川右太衛門演じる「旗本退屈男」に斬られたのが、初の斬られ役となった。

　以降、数々の時代劇スターに斬られ続け、体を大きくのけぞらせる「エビぞり」など独特の倒れ方で、ファンに知られる存在となった。「仁義なき戦い」などのヤクザ映画や刑事ドラマといった京撮で撮られる現代劇にも出演しつつ、殺陣集団「東映剣（つるぎ）会」の会長を務めるなど、チャンバラの伝承に努めた。

　２００２年にはハリウッド映画「ラストサムライ」の撮影に招かれ、主演のトム・クルーズ演じる米国人を護衛する寡黙な剣士役で存在感を見せた。初の主演作となった１４年の「太秦ライムライト」では、太秦を舞台に斬られ役一筋の男の生きざまを悲哀と誇りを込めて演じた。

自宅まで、お礼の電話を戴き感謝。

京都では、大変にお世話になりました。

★は私の超おすすめ （私は、簡単な鑑賞メモを手帳につけていて、その際、個人的な好みを5点満点で採点してます。★は5点を付けた作品です）

[sunadori9]

映画「太秦ライムライト」 時代劇が好きだ。 剣術が好きだ。 自分は こっちの道に行っていた方が良かったのかも知れない。 そうすれば今頃、伊賀だか甲賀で忍者ショーの一員として人生を楽しく過ごしていられたかも知れないね。 剣術と云うのは 思考が冴えてくる。 子供の頃から独りで 修行をするのが好きで行っていた。 恐らくは 自ら試練を与え 成し遂げると云う行為が好きだったのだろう。 そう云う意味では 仕事にしても 自分に無理をさせると云うドM行為をよくしてしまう。 まったくドMでは無いのでだけれど、 否、未知への探求心や 好奇心としては 面白そうだから興味がある。 経験した事のない行為は 新鮮で良い。 ただ自分の場合、崖から飛び降りたりと云う事すらワクワクする部分があるから危険ではある。 スーパーマーケットの数階から吹き抜けの部分から 無意識に ふらっと 飛び降りそうになる事が 結構ある。 アホだから 不死身だと思っているらしい。 いけんちゃうか？ とか マジで思ってるところがあるから 自分は 多分、発達障害なんじゃないかな？って思う。 ただ、子供の頃から少し過酷で 全部、自分自身で何もかもをしなければいけないと云う教育のと云うか全否定の野放しと云うか まぁ野放しではなく常に抑圧だけれど。 小学校の頃、包丁で腹を刺して死ぬか生きるか迷った時期もある。 そう云う窮地に追いやられる日々を送ると思考せざるを得なくなる そうやって補ったり 恋をする事で少しは成長したから 普通の世界で 変わってる程度のレベルまで誤魔化しが効くまで変われたのかも知れない。 恋ってのは大事だ。 他人を大切��想う心から 思いやりや優しさは生まれる 子供の頃は 無償の愛だった。 今も 見返りを別に求めてないと云うか 端っから期待していないので無償って云えば無償だけれど。 人間、ちゃんと思考し経験し失敗を繰り返し 長く生きていれば 体力もなくなるし欲も薄まって行く ただ 人の笑顔を見るだけで 満たされるものだ。 特に一生懸命に励む人の姿は美しい。 真剣に生きる人の姿が好きだ。 何の話だ？ https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcR-OApl3d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=35v1thc5t90v

12 Japanese Movies to Watch – JOC’s Readers Choice

Note: We are only listing movies and documentaries in this post. For Japanese dramas to stream on Netflix, you can find our recommendations here.

7 Japanese Movies to Add to Your Watchlist

1. Tokyo Story (Tokyo Monogatari) 東京物語 – 1953

Directed by Yasujirō Ozu, Tokyo Story is without question one of the greatest Japanese films ever made.

The film follows a retired couple’s journey to visit their grown children in postwar Tokyo. From what should be a pleasant family visit, the pair discovers they have become a burden to the children who are busy with their own lives. The couple return home and the mother dies a few days later.

It’s a simple story that explores the complex world of family relations, generational conflict, and the predicament of old age. Such universal themes that speak to all of us. Ozu’s ingenious use of camera also strengthens the film as it insinuates Japanese culture in a subtle yet discerning manner. There is no dramatization or heighten plots, but the film is powerful enough to stir something truly deep in your heart. A fine work of melancholy.

You can watch Tokyo Story here.

2. The Departure – 2017

Not to be mistaken by another great Japanese film Departures, The Departure is a moving documentary about a former punk-turned Buddhist priest in Japan. He has found meaning by helping suicidal patients to find reasons to live, but his work has come at the cost of his own health both emotionally and physically.

The Departure is in a way its own work of meditation, taking us deep on the subject of life. 

You can watch The Departure here.

3. After The Storm (Umi Yori Mo Mada Fukaku) 海よりもまだ深く- 2017

Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, After The Storm is a most satisfying tender comedy on family dynamics.

It follows the story of a private detective who dwells on his past glory as a prize-winning author after the death of his father. He struggles to reconcile with his aging mother, beautiful ex-wife and 11-year-old son while facing his own gambling addictions and ego.

More than just a domestic melodrama, the film opens a window for us into the modern Japanese family life. It’s bittersweet and incredibly enjoyable.

You can watch After The Storm here.

4. Uzumasa Limelight 太秦ライムライト- 2014

Uzumasa Limelight is about the end of an era of classic ‘jidaigeki’ films (sword fighting dramas) and a group of actors known as kirareyaku whose roles are to be killed artfully in the films. The movie tells the unbecoming fate of these ‘unsung heroes’ who dedicate their lives in an art form when the inevitable change is taking place.

It may be a samurai tale, the messages that come from the film reach down to every person, especially if you’re old enough to witness the effects of the economy and societal changes.

You can watch Uzumasa Limelight here.

5. The Garden Of Words – 2013

The Garden of Words is a short film by Makoto Shinkai who is known for his mastery of fantastical landscaping in the world of anime. The story follows a lonely teenage boy who is passionate about shoemaking. On one rainy day, he meets a lady who is at least 10 years older than him and as days go by they develop an unlikely friendship through their shared struggles.

A story of love, of dreams and of human connections, The Garden of Words speaks the universal language in its storytelling. I recommend watching it on a rainy day or a day when you need to feel all fuzzy inside.

You can watch The Garden of Words here.

6.  Yojimbo 用心棒 1961

Yojimbo is a masterpiece of the legendary Akira Kurosawa and classic Japanese cinema at its best. It is a story of a samurai (portrayed by Toshimo Mifune) who arrives in the middle of a Japanese village where there are two rival gangs competing for power. The two bosses try to hire him as a bodyguard, but neither is trustworthy. The samurai plays both sides against each other and lets the enemies destroying each other until peace is restored.

There is a deliberate Western undertone in the film, but it became hugely influential to western directors and inspired many great films like Clint Eastwood’s “Man with No Name” and Sergio Leone’s “A Fistful of Dollars”.

Thrilling and perfectly executed, Yojimbo is almost essential to watch for anyone who wishes to venture into Japanese cinema. 

You can purchase the criterion collection of Yojimbo & Sanjuro on Amazon.

7. Cat Heaven Island

Cute cats (hundreds of them) and a warm-hearted story, Cat Heaven Island is a short film about the island of Tashirojima where the feline inhabitants outnumber its elderly residents. The film offers a great glimpse into the dwindling community of Japan and its rich culture. You don’t have to be a cat lover to enjoy this beautiful and incredibly well-shot documentary. It’s sweet, inspiring, sad, interesting and hopeful at the same time.

You can watch Cat Heaven Island here.

Uzumasa Limelight / 太秦ライムライト / 太秦燈光下 movie review / 電影評論 (cantonese ver.)

The Good: Interesting premise. Good chemistry and acting from the older cast.

The Bad: Needless and under-developed sub-plots.  Young cast felt too fake and affected immersion of the overall film.

Storyline: Seiichi works at Nichiei Studios in Uzumasa, Kyoto, Japan. He only plays characters who get slashed by the sword. Due to the popularity of other types of dramas, his workload has been steadily declining.  Seiichi then meets a young girl, Satsuki. She is a fan of his work and wants to learn from him.
