My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?, originally titled as Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani? MOML


 エリ・エリ・レマ・サバクタニ』は、青山真治監督・脚本による2005年日本のSFドラマ映画。TOKYO FM開局35周年記念作品。第58回カンヌ国際映画祭「ある視点」部門出品作品


タイトルの「Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani?」とは、ヘブライ語で「神よ、神よ、何故我を見捨てたのか?」という意味で、イエス・キリストが処刑される際に言った言葉である。森敦の短編集『意味の変容』の一編から着想を得ている。主な撮影は北海道で行われた。挿入曲として、ギャヴィン・ブライアーズ「Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet」とナンシー・シナトラ「The End」が使われている。さらに、筒井康隆が「東京節」を歌っているシーンもある。

これまでDCPが存在せず、上映の機会が限られていたが、第35回東京国際映画祭の青山真治監督追悼特集に合わせ、英語字幕付きDCP版が作成された[1]

ストーリー[編集]

2015年。映像を通じて感染するレミング病というウイルスによって、世界中で多くの人間が自殺している。富豪のミヤギ(筒井康隆)は、息子夫婦をレミング病で失い、孫娘のハナ(宮崎あおい)もレミング病に侵されている。探偵のナツイシ(戸田昌宏)に調査を依頼したところ、ミズイ(浅野忠信)とアスハラ(中原昌也)の奏でる音楽には発病を抑える効果があるのだとわかる。

ミヤギとハナとナツイシは、ミズイとアスハラが食事に立ち寄っているナビ(岡田茉莉子)のペンションを訪れる。ミヤギは、孫娘のために演奏してほしいと2人に頼むものの、あっさりと断られる。ミズイにはエリコ(エリカ)という恋人がいたのだが、レミング病に感染したエリコがミズイの目の前で自殺して以来、ミズイとアスハラは隠棲生活を続けていたのである。そんな折、レミング病に感染していたアスハラが自殺する。ミズイはハナのために演奏することを承諾する。

青空の下、目隠しをされたハナは、草原にそびえる4つの巨大なスピーカーに囲まれ、ミズイの奏でる大音量の音楽を全身で受け止める。その場に昏倒したハナは、ペンションで目を覚ます。彼女は、ミヤギとナツイシが先に帰ったことをナビから告げられる。ハナは、しばらくのあいだ、ここで生きていこうと決意するのであった。


My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?, originally titled as Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani? (エリ・エリ・レマ・サバクタニEri Eri Rema Sabakutani),[1][2] is a 2005 Japanese drama film directed by Shinji Aoyama, starring Tadanobu Asano. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.[3]


lemming
/ˈlɛmɪŋ/
noun
  1. a small, short-tailed, thickset rodent related to the voles, found in the Arctic tundra.
    • a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction.
      "the flailings of the lemmings on Wall Street"

"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"-- these were the last words of Jesus on the cross, and is the translation of the title of this film.

Minimal dialogue, beautiful sounds, desolate scenery-- With all of those aspects, I found 'Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani' to be a beautiful film. The story in itself is something unique and untouched before-- an illness that drives people to suicide, the only cure being sound... Acting by Asano Tadanobu only makes the film more stunning-- he plays his usual disconnected and silent character, but it was very effective in this film, maybe more so than in his other works.

 要找時間研讀 Hamlet 


To be, or not to be, that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles

And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;

To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause—there's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,

The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn

No traveller returns, puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

And enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents turn awry

And lose the name of action.

______________________________________________

The soliloquy “To be, or not to be” is a speech given by Prince Hamlet in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. The speech appears in Act 3, Scene 1, also known as the “nunnery scene”. In the soliloquy, Hamlet contemplates death and suicide, weighing the pain and unfairness of life against the alternative. The soliloquy contains some of Shakespeare's best-known words.

Hamlet has seven soliloquies in the play. In the first soliloquy, Hamlet bemoans the fact that he cannot commit suicide. He wishes that his physical self might cease to exist.

In another soliloquy, Hamlet thinks about his inability to act on his revenge. He decides he must change his course if he wants to avenge his father's death.

The poem offers a set of inspirational guidelines for living a noble and honorable life, emphasizing the virtues of patience, perseverance, self-confidence, and integrity.


The poem is written as a father's advice to his son, imparting wisdom on how to navigate the challenges and complexities of life. Kipling explores various scenarios and situations, presenting the reader with a series of hypothetical conditions and how to respond to them.


The central theme of the poem revolves around maintaining a balanced perspective in the face of adversity, staying determined in the pursuit of one's goals, and displaying moral fortitude. Kipling emphasizes the importance of maintaining composure, taking responsibility for one's actions, and learning from failures.


Throughout the poem, Kipling highlights the qualities that make a person truly virtuous, including the ability to trust oneself while remaining humble, to persevere through hardships without losing hope, to treat success and failure with equanimity, to control one's emotions, and to have the capacity to forgive.
