Narayama
Narayama bushiko (the ballad of Narayama) questions
1. As you watched the village society was poor and they couldn't affront new family members unless one member dies or disappears. Maybe for that reason the Obatsune tradition was created. Do you think that now we are in the same situation? Co.pare the two situations.
2. Read this text about the spanish politician Celia Villalobos: http://www.diariodenavarra.es/noticias/magazine/sociedad/2018/01/17/polemicas-palabras-celia-villalobos-pensiones-572109-1035.html Could you relate them with Kesakichi's attitude towards her grandmother?
3. Orin was a 70’ years old granny who wanted to reach the Narayama temple at the top of the mountain. Why do you think she had that wish?
4. Do you think that we make feel old people as a charge which makes them wish to go to residences?
5. Orin's neightbourg Matayan is in the same situation than her but his son's and his own attitudes are the opposite to orin's and her son. Why do you think that they appear in the movie?
6. Which of them (Orin, her son, Matayan, his son) is more common in our present society? Which do you think is better and why?
7. What is Kesakichi interest about orin's destiny?
8. The village society is very strict with those who break the law. Do you think that a entire family deserved such a destiny? What punishment would you depart?
9. Which values do you think that we lose when we mistread our old people? What can them offer to us?
10. What can you do to show them your respect and kindness?
