"What is Life? And all things, this world is illusion. The middle, the beginning and the end are only brief sparks. Man does not live a moment. Life goes so fast today is already yesterday. I leave the first or will it be my neighbor? Today or tomorrow? All die sooner or later more numerous than the drops of dew on the branches or treetops. In the morning, a ruddy complexion, the evening will be bone white. "So wrote
Shigematsu Shizuma, one of the main characters of Black Rain, Shohei Imamura film turned in 1989, before the bodies of victims of Little Boy, the atomic bomb, which a few hours earlier, had shaved his good old city of Hiroshima in dealing with these deaths, we burn, a look that betrays both his interest in the mission of accompanying the last to take her amazement, a feeling that either way, it would be easy to understand because this man, nothing religious, no the company was on the order of his superior, who, having learned that the town hall and the temple were unable to save all the victims as they were many, had made up his mind to fly help of these two institutions largely overtaken by events. To perform, at best, this duty of memory that he had been, Shigematsu Shizuma had met a monk of the sect Aki, between two valuable advice Buddhist, had also expressed his great anger against the world, to despiritualized, was using science and knowledge not to raise hell, but to lay a city where most inhabitants were virgins the crime imputed to them: "The Doctrine of the world degenerating, it's really the time of the end times . " he said yes. This would be a Shigematsu Shizuma somewhat dazed by his task which would pronounce the sentence which, if she is very pretty, is no less unpleasant to hear because it dismisses a man's life or that of a woman not much and a page of Marcel Proust or a night of Frederick Chopin, as the joy of the man or woman who reads or hears, with fleeting rays of light. And I confess that when I heard, I was stunned myself, already, because I attach to life, whether human, animal and even plant a real importance, but much more yet because the little phrase of Japanese filmmaker, to be called after the latter has a long record tribute to the victims of Hiroshima and comes, as it were, to face all these images of consideration and compassion, the same contradiction since, showing, among other things, a teenager who can not recognize his brother, the fire having completely disfigured, a woman trying, using stone-throwing, to eradicate the pain of his bruised body, another still hugging like a mater dolorosa, burned her baby and finally a man by throwing window of his apartment shouting "Hiroshima, where are you? " all, absolutely all, suggest that gave Shohei Imamura the importance of these human lives destroyed, and through them, of course, human life in general. Let's away, I did not try to dig too deep what seemed like a contradiction, because the small irony that the sentence quoted above contains, and to hold, since it contains it is said to be in places where it usually does not say what she said, and the wisdom that comes too, have been enough to make me happy. Irony, indeed, because somewhere, the sentence pronounced by the very unconvinced Shigematsu Shizuma, who was himself a victim of bomb, one of those victims of the bomb ticking since the latter, after having spent, was slowly killing him, returns on the one hand, the makers of Hiroshima, as anyone who might be tempted to repeat this horror - in the movie, Truman is meant in effect tell the radio that he planned to use, if necessary, the atomic bomb against the communist forces that acted in Korea - their own insignificance, their lives, like those of their potential successors, like the ones they consider destroying or destroyed, the length of a breath, and other places on the same footing, because again "Man does not live a moment," victims and persons who, by interest or selfishness, tend to evacuate the first of their memory, as will the rest of this mock Shigematsu woman and her Shokichi friend, because, while being pampered and they tease carp, she toiled as a frantic.
And of course, wisdom, for no doubt that the little phrase that Shigematsu Shizuma to pronounce and the dead of Hiroshima is for him also to him as those that pride anime pride among the Imamura hero, leads the impetuous desire unstoppable and he feels to see a woman married Yasuko and expressed every time he told this girl he is responsible for:
