The whole story is basically a trend of running accounts except for a very deliberate ending arrangement at the end, and the shooting has no characteristics. It is too anxious to be always deliberately sensational. But the Americans looked very moved, hey. . . I heard that the author wrote and directed himself, so now there is no need to separate books and movies. . . ?

It is the director's skill to make such a simple and tacky story so touching. Sure enough, the story I wrote is more sensational when photographed
