夕方5時半から2時間少し
AboutSchmidtという映画を見ていて
感動で泣いてしまいました。
66歳のニコルソンが演じたシュミット役はそのまま主人公の年齢
ちなみに小生は１つ若い65歳ですが！！
ビビビーーーンンときました。
まるで大学を辞してからの現在に至る我が生き方を眺めてるようでもあり
またその展望を見るようでもあり
アメリカ人も日本人も同じ
サバティカルライフのお手本かも！！
って思えるほど泣けてくる
感動を起こす
生きるエネルギーを与えてくれる作品でした。
HBOは何度も再放送するので
またまた泣かされそうです。
DVD店にも探しに行ってみます。
でも公開された9年前の自分54－5歳では考えられない
まだ未熟GoGoゴーゴーなんて
人生希望一杯で
チャレンジしたいことが一杯で
このような映画は見ることは考えられない！！
見る気もしない考えられない人生！！
でもでも今は泣きました。
６５あるいは６６歳で
感動できるのかも！！
人生は奥が深いです。
ちなみにニコルソンは当時66歳
吾が友人Daveのイメージとも重なり
吾が留学時代から学会や遊びで
訪れたアメリカ社会そのものが
映像でみれて
しばし感動で私しゃ動けませんでした。
最高の作品です。
こんないい作品があったなんて！！
やはり人生
長生きし
経験を増やし
感動し
吾が息子や孫や親族に
伝えなくてはって思いました。
そうするとまだ20－30年は
ボランティアボランティアばかりを唱えないで
労働しながらも
少なくとも現在並みの生活費くらいは稼ぎながら
海外で日本で経験豊かになろうって思いました。
映画の内容のコピペです。
About Schmidt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About Schmidt is a 2002 American Comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Payne, starring Jack Nicholson in the title role. It is loosely based on the 1996 novel of the same title by Louis Begley. Many of the scenes were filmed on location, especially in Omaha, Nebraska and Denver, Colorado. According to the special features on the DVD, a number of non-professional local residents appeared in the film, portraying their real-life professions. The actual Woodmen of the World headquarters building in Omaha was used in the film, and Jack Nicholson was made an honorary member of the company during filming.
The main narrative of the film follows Schmidt as he retires from his pedestrian job, followed by the untimely death of his wife for whom he has lost affection. He goes on a road trip in order to attend the wedding of his only daughter to a man and into a family he does not particularly like. Events compel him to reflect on his life with a sense of futility that lasts until the final moments of the film. The film was both a commercial and critical success.
Plot
Warren Schmidt is retiring from his position as an actuary with an insurance company in Omaha, Nebraska. Schmidt finds it hard to adjust to his new life and feels useless. One evening, he sees a television advertisement about a foster program for African children and decides to sponsor a child. He soon receives an information package with a photo of his foster child, a small Tanzanian boy named Ndugu Umbo, to whom he relates his life in a series of rambling letters.
Schmidt is given an impersonal retirement dinner. He visits his young successor's office to offer his help, but the offer is politely declined. As he leaves the building, Schmidt sees the contents and files of his office in the basement, set out for garbage collectors.
He describes to Ndugu his longtime alienation from his wife, who suddenly dies from a blood clot in her brain just after his retirement and their purchase of a Winnebago motor home. Friends arrive, along with his only daughter Jeannie and her fiancé Randall Hertzel from Denver. They console him at the funeral, but Jeannie later berates him for taking his wife for granted, buying her a cheap casket. He asks her to move back for a while to take care of him, but she refuses.
Schmidt feels that Randall, a waterbed salesman, is unsuited to his daughter. Randall recommends the book "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" by Harold Kushner to Schmidt and then tries to entice him into a pyramid scheme. After the couple leaves, Schmidt is alone.
He stops showering, is shown sleeping in front of the television, and going outside with a coat over pajamas to load up on frozen foods in the supermarket. In a closet he discovers some hidden love letters disclosing his wife's long-ago affair with a mutual friend. Schmidt angrily confronts him.
In order to find some control in his life, he decides to take a journey alone in his new Winnebago to see his daughter and convince her not to marry. He tells Jeannie he's headed out early to the wedding; she makes it clear she doesn't want him there until right before the ceremony.
Schmidt visits places from his past, including his hometown and college campus. His childhood home has been replaced by a tire shop. While at a trailer campground, he is a dinner guest of a friendly and sympathetic couple, but leaves in terror and embarrassment after he makes a pass at the wife. He later apologizes to his late wife.
Schmidt arrives in Denver and stays at the home of Randall's mother. He wakes after a night in a water bed with severe pain. He meets the fiancé's family and again tries unsuccessfully to dissuade Jeannie from the marriage. Schmidt flees after the mother makes a pass at him in a hot tub. Schmidt attends the wedding and delivers a kind speech at the dinner, hiding his disapproval, although the (angry) subtext of what he's saying isn't lost on Jeannie.
Upon returning home to Omaha, his narrative to the orphan Ndugu questions what he has accomplished in life. Schmidt laments that he will soon be dead, that his life has made no difference to anyone and that eventually it will be as if he has never existed at all.
A pile of mail is waiting for him inside the empty house. Schmidt opens a letter from Tanzania. It is from a nun, who writes that Ndugu is illiterate but appreciates Schmidt's letters and financial support very much. The little boy's hand-drawn picture is enclosed, showing two smiling stick figures, one large and one small, holding hands on a sunny day. Schmidt weeps silently.
