I wish so, for this life

The ordinary and warm days of the Yamada-kun family are told with some interesting shots. Losing children, robbing TV shows, mothers talking about children's studies from time to time, a series of embarrassment or conflicts caused by poor memory, starting to clean up the house when guests arrive, father and son playing baseball over the restricted area and smashing other people's glass, children growing up There is a "generation gap" between the elders and the elders... There are a few scenes where I burst into tears with laughter.

Life may be like this, chop suey, sunny and rainy, bitter and sweet. Ordinary and unremarkable, but it is the sweetest memory of every family member.

Near the end, there is an episode adapted from "Que Sera Sera", which is quite appropriate: Que Sera Sera, what will be will be, the future is not ours to see, Que Sera Sera, what will be will be...

It may be a luxury for many people to live their lives in such a natural way.

My Neighbors the Yamadas quotes

  • Matsuko: [Walks in to the kitchen, where Shige is preparing food] Um... Mother?

    Shige: Sushi's too easy. I thought I'd try something more interesting.

    Matsuko: [Moans]

    [Beat]

    Matsuko: So what did you decide to make?

    Shige: Beef Stron-ana-goff-uhna-no-va-no...

    Matsuko: [Interrupting] How could you cook it if you can't even say it?

    Shige: Sure I can!

    [Puts on glasses and reads recipe title carefully]

    Shige: "Beef Stroganoff with Peas & Carrots".

    [pause]

    Matsuko: So you *can* say it.

    Shige: It's not that hard. Beef "Strona-goff" is beef "Strona-goff, goff, goff".

    Matsuko: Whatever, just make it.

  • Takashi: [Matsuko sets hot pot on the table] Hot pot? We just had that the other night!

    Matsuko: But it tastes so good in the winter.

    [Matsuko finishes setting the ingredients on the table]

    Matsuko: Okay, help yourself!

    Shige: It's more like "Cook it yourself."
