Shoplifters of the Japanese movie


Shoplifters of the Japanese movie  (wiki)
My comment
l thought that the title of this movie was not good, Japanese movies would be loved by only Japanese people thus l hadn't needed to watch it.
However, it was recommended to me by a movie's director who teaches foreign students how to make films and how to use the Japanese Language. He also told me that it's not necessary to understand the true messages of what the movie and the director want to tell us.

Why? It's too sad to make movies. Is it because it's too difficult, he gives up, people have many opinions without watching films, just he wants people to go to cinemas because films are recently unpopular?

I think that l try to summarize why people and l don't go to theaters, 1) what opinions he has, 2) and that my comments about this movie. 3)

l didn't have time to go to theatres at this time, but l bought this book and read it and watched its YouTube.

1) Why don't people and l  go to theaters?
Probably, it's because there are many temptations in the words. Those are T.V, YouTube, books, games, SNS and so on.
In my case, l was not allowed to watch T.V from my mother when I was a child thus I've liked to read books for a long time, l found something that I wanted to do finally, it's to study English, and I don't have time and money. Furthermore, l don't like watching movies in the first place because of one famous and important movie Ten Commandments that was really scary for me when I was really a kid. It made me dislike movies. 

2) what opinions does he have?
I wanted to know why the Japanese teacher told not to need knowing true messages and why he recommended this film.

I thought for a long time that movies have strong messages and we have to understand it. I have another movie that made me dislike movies. It's the Pearl Harbor and I continue to think that it's not true and histories have to be told correctly. Although it's said fictions, many social problems became fictions are told and people don't know it and don't think about the truth. I can't allow those.

3) What does the movie of Shoplifters want to tell us?
I was really shocked why the movie of a thief receive some awards and I don't want foreigners to know about thief which happened in Japan.
I hope that the director just wants the foreigner students to learn Japanese from movies, l understand that the message of the movie is the family, not the thief, though.

In the movies, important key sentences seemed to be the following.
What connects the family?
Did we choose from kids as a parent?
Even living with birth parents, whether they are happy or not. Women might not be a mother, even she gives birth to a baby.

All families seem to have bonds, even they don't look normal. It means there are abuse, neglect, adoption, divorce, and thief. All family has anxiety and anxiety might make bonds.

Kids can't choose their parents, Japanese people strongly think blood makes bonds thus adoptions are little in Japan thus women who can't give birth can't do anything, though, the problem with the declining birth are always told strongly to only women.
In the first place, Japanese people might allow a diversity of the family, Japan looks really peaceful, though.

Questions haven't been solved yet and l think that reading this book was really good because I wouldn't read it without his recommendation.

Social problems connect the problem of families strongly, it might be a bad culture. Making culture takes much time. Societies and politics must create a better culture. Only revealing something isn't better. All media have to help it.
