1st watched 5/16/2001 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Kon Ichikawa): Simple and sweet film about a child and his family from birth till his 2nd birthday. At times it makes you laugh(especially the voice-overs given to the child), at times those who have been parents understand exactly what the mother & father are going thru, and at other times it is thought-provoking. It makes you think about how you should always cherish children, knowing that they just learn from everything around them and grow without too much trouble. Very sentimental at times, but realistic. In the end, the child experiences life, pain, and death. A complete cycle in only 2 years and hopefully many years left. An irresistable film, and one of the most down-to-earth Japanese films that I've seen.
