This is a story about a 'hafu' black boy. His name is Keisuke. This story starts with the scene that
he moves to a small town. On the first day, his classmates assume that Keisuke has AIDS.
They think that all black people have it. They always exclude Keisuke. However, one kind boy
invites him to play catch and Keisuke gets injured then. After that, they search about AIDS.
After, Keisuke is filled with fear that really has AIDS, so he runs away from school. When
he talks about his fear, his mother comforts him and proves that he does not have AIDS. Actually,
she takes him to hospital. Keisuke is completely healthy. Then, she tells him his father's words, "It's not up to others to decide what kind of human being you are." In the last scene, he starts
to enter the school...
I was moved by the boy who plays catch with Keisuke. He is so kind, isn't he? Because, many
children want to exclude a stranger who is different from themselves. Even if you don't want
to do it, you might be influenced by your classmates. It's so horrible and stupid. I wonder how
many students can understand the fact of AIDS. They only see the pictures that the black
patients with AIDS on the internet. Maybe, the kind boy also has the stupid knowledge, but
he can look at Keisuke's heart not his appearance. For the kind boy, the difference of
appearance doesn't matter. In the future, I want my children to be like him.
Then, Keisuke's mother tells him so impressed words when he is crying. I sympathize with her
opinion. However, I also think she doesn't know anything. Keisuke and many children want to
sympathize with them by their mother and father. Of course, it's not a solution. Actually, I
had a mental problem when I was 11 years old. So, I couldn't enter my class and I always run
away to the library. One day, my mother knew that, so my father was angry. He told me if you
lose now, you will continue to lose in your life. After that, I had to enter my class and it was
such a nightmare. However, I could enjoy my school life again. (I don't know why I could do it...)
From that, I was frustrated with Keisuke's mother, but Keisuke will understand his mother's
words.
I like this film. Probably, I don't have the films that I don't like and I can't be interested in.
But this film makes me remember my sad experience and my growth. I recommend it!
