人间失格 剧场版

Osamu Dazai was born into a politically wealthy Japanese family during World War II, where food and clothing were never a concern. As the frail and sickly youngest son of the family, he witnessed the complexities of human relationships—both the facade and the reality—from a young age, leading him to feel that his life was meaningless. He learned early on to read people's expressions and strive to please them with smiles. He aspired to become an outstanding painter, but his politician father completely dismissed this ambition. As he grew older, he felt even more that life held no purpose. He befriended a bad influence, and the two spent their days joining revolutionary groups or indulging in debauchery. Later, he attempted a double suicide with a bar hostess, but only he survived and was nearly prosecuted. Eventually, even his parents and siblings concluded that his life was meaningless, and his family cut ties with him. Awakening to a desire to live with dignity, he sought help from an old friend, only to be taken in by a female journalist from a newspaper who had covered his attempted suicide with the hostess. He intended to become a good man who could protect the journalist and her daughter, but he was driven away by the daughter, Shigeko, who called him a "murderer." Later, he married a pure and trusting girl, but his wife, in an effort to make Dazai's manga successful, committed adultery with an editor. This plunged him into utter despair with humanity. When his wife attempted suicide, he seized the sleeping pills and ingested them himself. Although his stomach was pumped and he was revived, he fled the hospital and continued to linger on, trudging toward death.
