Sad tale about a poor Rikisha man...., 6 April 1999
10/10
Author: Buslady from So Cal

Really great movie. About a poor rikisha man, Matsu)mifune) who cares for Toshio and her son after her husband, Yoshioka suddenly dies. Matsu acts as the boy's fatherly figure, he spots the child with a tangled up kite..he parks his rikshaw with a customer seated and runs over to help out the kid; he plays games, tells stories about himself to the kid and the best bit is the games..during a parade he jumps up to a great big kodo drum and begins to play...that is the best part. I won't give the end away. Gotta see that for yourself. but it's not happy. Like all Toshiro's movies, it's well worth the time to watch.
