The theme

It unvarnished appearance?

いよいよ2014年も師走に突入。この一年を振り返る特集がテレビや雑誌で続々と企画される中、その年の話題となった言葉を決定する新語・流行語大賞が発表された。年間大賞に選ばれた言葉は、お笑いコンビ・日本エレキテル連合の「ダメよ〜ダメダメ」と「集団的自衛権」。今年の安倍政権下で行われた、あまりに突然の「集団的自衛権」解釈変更、「NOときっぱり言えない日本人」の姿をシュールなコントで描き出した日本エレキテル連合と、いずれも不条理な現代日本のあり方を象徴した言葉ともいえるだろう。 今回は、現在渋谷で公開中・公開予定の映画作品の中から、「ありのままの姿であること・自分らしくあること」を訴える3作品をピックアップ。科学技術の進歩の果てに失われた自然の姿を取り戻す作品、社会のレッテルに葛藤しながらも自分自身の本当の気持ちに向き合う作品、世間の目に翻弄されながらも自分の生きる道を独自の方法で貫こうとする作品と、いずれも大切ながら、現代の日本社会では流されたり追いやられたりと曖昧になりがちな主題である。 年末には衆議院選挙も控えた日本。3作品を通し、自分自身とそれを取り巻く環境について、改めて考え直すきっかけにしてみてはいかがでしょうか。
