Personal style.

No competition, just being what you are, who you are.

I'm tired. It's just like trying to make religious extremists realize that the "fake news" they've been fed on is just an illusion for weak minds. They don't want to realize, it's so comfortable to be a happy imbecile. When they become aggressive, gun-toting extremists swallowing lies (in French, we say "avaler des couleuvres"), it makes me very sad, and angry. Cretinism is not a political option !

It's hard to understand Japaese, even when translated into western font translation;

Niyamadori ?

Narayama? Yamadori ?... Short vocalic syllables open wild mountain landscapes...


The tradition in this region was to accompany older people to the top of the mountain in winter so they would die. Older people would accept this as a sort of inevitable course of life, and death.

So little to feed the family that the grandmother took a stone in her hand and broke her teeth to show that she can't be fed any longer. That she knows she is now a heavy weight on the community and that she should die now.

The film is about a son who can't be as cynical as to erase his mother's life for the comfort of the rest of his commununity.

I wonder how an "Evangelist" a "Muslim", a "Catholic", a "Jew", a "Buiddist", etc, any kind of religious esxtremist wopuld have treated this...

This film / movie is about ...

Njyamadori is the name of the original poster. The Nj is short for New Jersey, the state where he lives. Yamadori means “from the mountains”, but he’s using it to mean he collects trees he finds around his house and neighborhood. He’s 13 years old and doesn’t have money to buy trees, so he’s using what he can find.
