朋友之间

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.。本剧改编自累计发行数突破了120万部销量的渡边志穗同名漫画，是一部讲述了18岁的大小姐和高品格的保镖，以互相不伦的“伪装结婚”而开始的纯爱故事。拥有着绝对权力的富豪帝国“三条集团”的独生女·明花决定18岁时相亲结婚，她和从小就是自己的保镖且与三条家信赖深厚的藤宫煌(藤井饰)伪装结婚，策划了自由的恋爱等于不伦。但是，一直在身边守护着的煌，其实一直爱着明花……。盘老五、石牯和赵良是三个普通的放排人。在十年动乱中，他们带着浩劫创伤，漂流在萧水上。烦恼、苦闷与不平缠绕着他们，无法解脱，只好无聊地吵嘴，发泄地殴斗，苦闷地酗酒。夜晚，木排停靠在荒野，石牯上岸去找他那被区革委会主任李家栋逼迫出嫁的未婚妻改秀，遇到了被监督劳动、已经奄奄一息的老区长陈鸣鹤，赶来寻找石牯的盘老五毅然决定，把老区长转移到一个安全的地方。改秀虽然被迫出嫁，但一直是抗婚不从。她闻讯逃出，在河边等到木排，与石牯团聚。改秀上木排后，胆小怕事的赵良担心李家栋追查，盘老五又见义勇为，同意承担起一切后果，这样，才把改秀留到了木排上，跟他们一起漂流。石牯和改秀这对年轻人的遭遇，不禁勾起了盘老五对自己年轻时爱情悲剧的回忆：三十多年前，他与纯真的少女吴爱花有着一段甜美的爱情。但是，他因为散了排而背上了磨盘债，他不忍让吴爱花跟着自己受苦，就主动离散了。他与吴爱花的爱情，成为一段幸福而痛苦的记忆，永远铭刻在盘老五的心中。木排漂流到双河街，盘老五为了急救生命垂危的徐区长，要去买人参，但偏偏钱又不够。平时非常小气的赵良，竟然慷慨解囊，把给女儿办嫁妆的钱掏了出来。在面铺，盘老五突然遇到了吴爱花，谁能想到，这时的吴爱花已经沦为一个讨饭婆子！30年的沧桑变迁，在两个人中间隔起了一道无形的屏障，使他们变得生疏了、冷漠了。可是，旧时有爱情，今天的苦难，却又象一根无形的链条把他们的心紧紧连在一起。吴爱花述说了自己的不幸身世，盘老五向她解释了当年离去的原因，他用诚挚的热情和力量，唤起了爱花生活的信念。吴爱花接受了盘老五给徐区长送人参的委托，可人参又被李家栋一伙劫去。盘老五冒着生命危险夺回人参。大雨如注，山洪暴发，木排在洪流中狂奔。盘老五发现洪水中的浮木，他把伙伴们推下木排逃生，自己驾排向前冲去。清晨，石牯、改秀、赵良在河滩上寻找着，呼喊着盘老五。。
