Story
■戦争を挟んで 今回は、映画の話をしたいと思います。 好きな日本の映画監督を挙げるとしたら、小津安二郎、成瀬巳喜男、川島雄三の三人でしょうか。いずれも戦前から活躍し、70年代に入る前にこの世を去った監督ですが、特に小津さんは、今でも非常に不思議な立ち位置にある人だと私は思っています。 どういうことかと言うと、まず、成瀬は職人的な監督で、男女の微細な感情をとてもうまく映像化する。作品の完成度は高く、しかもおもしろい。通俗的な意味でおもしろいんです。 『浮雲』は成瀬の代表作ですが、こんな作品はもう二度と作れないといった感じに仕上がっている。映し出される風景がとても官能的で、それだけで何かを語ってしまいます。『乱れる』『流れる』なども、あたかも一場のよい芝居を観せられているような作品です。(本文より))内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

Story
・偲ぶ会にて 先日、映画の東宝スタジオサービスの社長さんから、突然お手紙をいただいた。お手紙とはいっても、特別な内容のものではなく、先ごろ亡くなった高峰秀子さんの「偲ぶ会」があるので、出席しないかというお誘いであった。 私は自著『俺に似たひと』の中で、高峰秀子に触れ、彼女への偏愛を少しだけ語った。くだんの社長は、私の本を読んでくれていて、高峰ファンの私にお声を掛けていただいたというわけである。当日、私はどんな往年の俳優が集まるのかと、ほとんどミーハー気分で会場へ出かけた。 会場は、スタジオにステージを拵え、椅子を配したにわか作りの劇場になっており、舞台の正面には小さなスクリーンが配置されていた。思っていたとおり、司葉子や、星百合子、八千草薫、宝田明などスクリーンでしかお目にかかれないスターの顔が揃った。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

Story
・「あのとき」の記憶 IOCのジャック・ロゲ名誉会長が開催地の記されたカードを反転させて、そこにJAPANという文字が見えたとき、日本中が上を下への大騒ぎとなった。オリンピック東京招致が決まったのである。 いや、日本中というのは大げさで、日本国民の三分の一ぐらいは複雑な気持ちでこのニュースを聞いたはずだ。ただ、興奮状態にある空気が複雑派、疑問派、反対派の声をかき消した。そのうちの多くは、つまりもろ手を挙げて大騒ぎできなかった人々の多くは、一九六四年の東京五輪を実際に見てきた団塊の世代あたりの人々ではなかったかと思う。私もその一人である。 その理由を書きたいと思う。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

・ひそやかな交換 もうじき、六十三回目の誕生日を迎える。気がついたらそんな年齢になっていた。還暦を過ぎてからは、毎年の誕生日の意味が少し変わったように思える。 それまでは、ひとつひとつ齢(よわい)を重ねるといった積み立て型だった人生が、還暦以後は積み立てた貯蓄を、ひとつひとつ引き出してそれを別なものと交換しているような心もちになってくる。 積み立てた年齢はいったい何と交換できるのだろう。もとより、交換したからといって手元から年齢がひとつ無くなるわけではない。等価交換とは違う交換なのである。 一方では確実に馬齢を重ねている。 だが、もう一方でひそやかな交換が行われている。 交換することによって減じるのは、積み立てた年齢ではなく、残余の時間なのかもしれない。 ここのところの機微が、うまく言葉にならない。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

・現実的な選択をすればいい 護憲か、改憲か。 いつものように、お互いに相いれない主張がぶつかり合い、感情的な言葉のやり取りが繰り広げられている。 ある国会議員は言う。現行憲法はアメリカによる押し付けであり、この憲法下で日本人は平和ボケし、近隣諸国から馬鹿にされ、領海を侵犯されても手も足も出せない状態になっている。だからこれをすぐに改めなくてはならないと。 日本維新の会は、その綱領の中で、「日本を孤立と軽蔑の対象に貶め、絶対平和という非現実的な共同幻想を押し付けた元凶である占領憲法を大幅に改正し、国家、民族を真の自立に導き、国家を蘇生させる」と言っている。 いさましくも空疎な言葉の羅列と言わざるをえない。「国家を蘇生させる」ということは、今は瀕死であるのか、すでに死んじゃっているのか、大変な事態であるようだ。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

どうも、ヒラカワです。 質問をいただきました。 <質問> 「いつも内田 樹さんと平川克美さんのメルマガを楽しく拝見させてもらっています。僕は38歳になる非正規労働者です。仕事は最低賃金に近く、給料は10万円前後。体調を崩したりすると、時給制なので月に10万にも満たない給料になります。自分一人が食べていくのが精一杯な状況です。 そこで質問なのですが、僕らの親の年代は65歳と、ほぼ団塊の世代だと思います。つまり、僕らは団塊ジュニア。まさに、第二次ベビーブームと呼ばれた世代。そんな僕らが今30代後半です。就職は氷河期でした。仕事もなかなか見つけられませんでした。世の中的に言うと、僕らのような団塊ジュニアの世代が、30代後半、40代と、まさに時代を担う(?)世代のはずなのですが、なんだか僕を含めて、幼い気がしてしまうのです。アニメ世代とも言えるのでしょうか……。短絡的な人(反知性的というのでしょうか)が多いように思い、今の政治や経済の状況を鑑みても、暗澹たる気持ちになります。(本文より))内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

■“腑に落ちる”思想 今、晶文社から『吉本隆明全集』が刊行されています。 私は、ぜひ若い人にも一度は吉本さんの思想と向き合ってほしいと思います。 ただ、いきなり『共同幻想論』を読んでも、分からないかもしれません。 私たちの世代は、中心的な論考の間に彼の講演や主宰した「試行」に書いていた彼の雑文を読みながら、本当に彼がいわんとしていたことが何なのかを理解していった共時的な過程に恵まれました。だから、私たちの年代は、だいたい同じように吉本思想を理解し、そして強く影響を受けたのだと思います。吉本さんに限っては、他の方の吉本論を読んで、あまり違和感を感じないで済むのです。これはちょっと不思議なことです。(本文より))内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

内田樹&平川克美メールマガジン「大人の条件」2016年9月号より ■『国際市場で逢いましょう』2014年の公開以来、韓国歴代2位、1400万人の動員を数えた韓国映画『国際市場で逢いましょう』。この映画をご覧になった方はいらっしゃいますか。 第二次世界大戦後、ある韓国人の家族の70年を、特にその主人公がどのように生きたかを描いた映画です。日本にも同じような時代を描いた『三丁目の夕日』という映画がありますが、映画の中で起きる出来事は日本と韓国ではずいぶん違います。大戦後の日本という国と朝鮮半島の国々の政治や暮らしの状況はまるで違ったからです。一部映画のネタバレがありますが、日韓の歴史を振り返ってみましょうか。(本文より) 内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

■政治の言葉が棄損したもの 消費税延期に対して、安倍さんはかつて「上げません」「いや、上げます」と何度も宣言と撤回を繰り返したうえで、選挙が近くなると「消費税を上げない」と決断しました。その際、彼は「これまでのお約束とは異なる新しい判断をした」んだと言いました。そのうえ、「選挙で、このことが信任されるかどうかを問いたい」と述べた。 いやぁ、驚きました。一国の首相が、これほど、言葉の意味を腐敗させ、言葉に対する信頼を棄損する光景を目の当たりにしたのですから。この言葉を聞き、私はすぐにある世界を連想しました。イギリスの作家ジョージ・オーウェルが書いた『1984年』です。(本文より) 内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

ヒラカワです。 イギリスEU離脱の問題に関して、専門家たちが様々なことを言ってるけど、よく分からないですね。ビジネスへの影響を心配しているひとたちは、だいたい、みんな金のことを言ってるだけなんですよ。「株がどうした、こうした」と。本来、株には無縁なひとまで、損得感情みたいなことだけを言っている。新聞も雑誌も。 でもそれは、イギリスがEUを離脱したことの結果であり、なぜ抜けたのか、問題の本質的なところに対しての解説で、納得のいくものがありません。イギリスが離脱して、しばらくの間、株価が下がるのは当たり前。当たり前のこと言ってもしかたないでしょう。 もうひとつは、イギリス国内の貧困層を中心にして、ナショナリズムが立ち上がって、アメリカのトランプ状況みたいなこと起きているというひとがいますね。例えば、移民排斥もその流れで説明します。それが住民投票で、離脱へのベクトルを志向したというわけです。 (本文より) 内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

Story
フェデリコ・フェリーニ監督の映画『カビリアの夜』は、一九五七年に製作・公開されている。その前年、日本では売春防止法が制定され、以後、日本文化の一翼を担った遊郭が消えていった。皮肉にも、この年、品川遊郭を舞台にした川島雄三の傑作『幕末太陽伝』が公開されている。前年に東調布第三小学校に入学した私は、七歳のケツの青いガキで、世界は、自分の前に無限に広がる海のように単純で、偉大だった。 七歳の子供には、世の中には、男と女がいて、昼と夜の間には人間の数だけの争い事や悩みがあり、多くの人間たちは空腹や貧乏、抑圧や裏切りに耐えながら生きているなんてことは、わかるはずもなかった。 『カビリアの夜』の主人公は、カビリアというローマの娼婦である。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.
