Kikujiro

I watched "Kikujiro" quite some years ago, but my heart is still under the spell of its theme song. The reason I talk about this now is that I just heard it's theme song again today from someone's blog...and it just brings back all the memories about the movie.

Kikujirô no natsu (1999)
Directed by Takeshi Kitano

Sypnosis: A nine-year old Masao (Yusuke Sekigushi), who lives alone with his grandmother, is determined and set out to find the mother he has never met. A friend of his grandmother makes her husband, Kikujiro (Beat Takeshi), go with Masao on his journey.


Kikujiro is a kind of man who is rude, irresponsible, and always look for easy money. He lost all of Masao's trip-money gambling in a racetrack. It is so obvious that he doesn't enjoy being with the boy at all.

They have to stumble their way through to reach the boy's destination. Along the way, they encounter many fun and colorful people...which bring them to unimaginable destinations toward the end of the journey.

(Thank you... http://www.sonyclassics.com/kikujiro/ and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0199683/ for various information on the movie)

I love the movie so much. I could watch it over and over again. Now that I heard the song again...I wanna watch it again sa laew~
