Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。《敦刻尔克》男主芬恩·怀特海德、跨性别新人演员Leyna Bloom主演了马丁·斯科塞斯监制新片《港务局》(Port Authority)，讲述一个男孩与跨性别女子的爱情故事。该片最近已杀青，才公布信息。 新人导演Danielle Lessovitz执导，McCaul Lombardi(《美国甜心》)也出演。背景为纽约LGBTQ圈著名的“舞厅文化”，讲述20岁出头的男孩Paul(怀特海德饰演)初来纽约，与热爱voguing的女孩Wye(Bloom饰演)看对了眼，他悄悄找上了她，热烈的爱开始萌芽。但随后Paul发现Wye是跨性别者，他被迫面对自己对她的欲望，和身边人深植的暴力。由斯科塞斯的Sikelia影业和RT影业(《请以你的名字呼唤我》)制作。。科学记者拉蒂夫·纳赛尔探究我们如何以惊人而复杂的方式与彼此、世界乃至宇宙联系在一起。。
