May 7, Shibuya "anti-nuclear demonstration" of 10,000 scale is done in on Saturday during GW, it has become a big topic in each media. Triggered by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, it feels like calls for stop of nuclear energy has become louder every day. That said, I troubled that there is no On the other hand cooler, scary nuclear power plant also, to not CO2 also want to increase, electricity bill also cheap it is ... like a good, we modern people are facing a major dilemma.

Such a nuclear power plant, in the Shibuya of cinema in the growing interest in alternative energy, is popular have gathered to work associated with it. Documentary film "100, after 000 years of safety" that it is "Ashes to Honey."

First of all, "Ashes to Honey," the latest work of Kamanaka Hitomi director who attracted much attention in the movie "Rokkasho Rhapsody" (2006) is, Yamaguchi Prefecture, to face the "nuclear power plant construction problem" - in Iwaishima and the appearance of the islanders who live, work that captures both the people who advanced approach of Sweden. Although the screening of the euro space has been temporarily terminated, it has decided to be encore screenings from June from the magnitude of the echo. Then "Into Eternity" is a work that was covering the actual situation to the final disposal site for high-level radioactive waste in Finland, which raises whereabouts the problem of waste from nuclear power plants. Initially in the distribution to uplink, it had been scheduled to be published this fall, stepping to the public from hurriedly ahead of schedule in April in response to the nuclear issue after the earthquakeChopped. From just a few days ago, Dano the construction of a treatment plant of Japan's radioactive waste in Mongolia, Gifu and news that Dano was decided to Mizunami is flying about, even more, waste disposal problem has begun to be close-up. So to speak, even in construction, also had a problem in the disposal, just dead-end state. Very sustainability society is far away. We are what you learn from this two works, and how to derive any conclusions.

In addition to greater than or equal to this two works, speaking because this time what the "I want you to always watch work", is this. So, is the movie being published in the Image Forum "four of life". "The old man (personBetween) → 仔山 sheep (animal) → tree (plant) → to coal, "the like relay is going to indifferently baton of life, a small village magnificent a global scale, which drew on the stage drama. Chasing mountain sheep old herdsman died, and 仔山 sheep is born the next morning. Seasons change, cut down as a symbol of the mountains of the big tree is also followed by a festival for hundreds of years, it is processed into charcoal in the hands of charcoal craftsman when the festival ends. And charcoal is sold, ... go soaring as the smoke from the chimney. During the hundreds of years in South Italy Calabria region, nothing nothing chain of life continues unchanged without changing, people and animals nor plants all ... are treated on the same level. To eliminate all of the lines, ahead of the extra cut allocation, would penetrate catapult during the work in the sense of realism, such as if are watching a documentary. At first glance, I thought the one long take of loose the video, such as in the scene in which goat would remove the bollard and mischief, suggesting that work planning is being carried out by a careful calculation. Although especially straight social criticism and civilization criticism is not, be healed just by watching, I wonder what harmonious primitive way of life with such nature is not than a figure which there should be originally of human beings, and will be be convinced.

Representation is not an application, anyway I saw was like after the grave in the ancestor memorial service after, feel a sense of exhilaration for some reason. It is such a work.
