PERFECT DAYS - Official Trailer

[@ginkgomoon5773]

I love this movie, it’s so Buddhist. Live in the moment, be disciplined, nothing in life is beneath you. Little things make your life so beautiful.

[@Hitchpster]

I thought the same, it’s a nod to Buddha. Can’t tell more without spoilers.

@@chetankudake3399 I watched it on Disney+, it's also available on Hulu.

[@zmw711]

I saw it today, and it was..."a whole vibe." Chillest movie of all time. It felt relatable, and yet something to aspire to. ...It made me feel like solitude is a perfectly viable path in life, and that there's nobility in simply providing for one's self and providing a service to society. It's okay to exist, and to sit & notice and to absorb, to breathe and go about your way.

[@zubairqngc]

such a perfect description of the movie! Just watched it last night and you put it perfectly

[@takkyyon]

cool!

[@freddiepearce6455]

I am unsure whether I'd describe the film as "chill". There is profound wisdom here. While Hirayama is so content as a toilet cleaner, he can still yearn for fun and companionship. Perfect Days shares with us the perfection of our present surroundings, but teaches us to not neglect the imperfections either. Take a day off work, smile at a stranger, visit your father, dance with a stranger. There is beauty in it all, embrace this and live presently, your perfect days will be endless.....

[@kingbowser6991]

exactly, im a route sanitation driver and my job is pure chill, no one messes with me, I get to be outside, everday is different adventure, and just chill listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks etc.

[@taotzu1339]

@@freddiepearce6455 I think when he was young, he probably dreamed of becoming a musician or a botanist. His father probably wanted him to be a doctor or engineer, otherwise the son might as well become a janitor. That's the reason he couldn't face his dad.

[@FahadZahr]

Perhaps many people missed it but his connection with the tree shown through the photos and the dreams he had about it actually depicts that he sees himself in that tree, that tree almost similarly interacts with the environment around it the way he does, without saying anything just observing the beauty around it and just going about its daily routine, that is being a normal simple tree. Like the way they showed Koji’s daily routine life.

[@megamoviez]

I got to see this movie early at the Virginia Film Festival and it’s the best movie of the year. Y’all are in for a treat. It’s like it was made for me. I haven’t been this affected by a movie in quite some time.

The scene with his sister was SO well written and acted.... With the minimum of lines and the incredible facial expressions, we could understand what he had escaped from, what he was never returning to, why he and his sister were different, what the relationship with his father was, how his sister perceived him (with a complex mixture of envy, disdain, sorrow, regret, and more...). Just amazing.

[@PETBOY]

The production cost is said to be $14 million. Unlike the theme of the movie, a considerable amount of production cost was used. Where was the production cost spent?? I wonder.

[@PETBOY]

​@@anm8001 I know that Minari was set at $2 million. The production cost of Talk To Me was $4.5 million, and in any case, I think it was too expensive compared to the movie content. It seems like the director's guarantee is big, but it's too expensive and doesn't fit the theme of the movie. and Production costs for Japanese films of this scale are not this high. $5 million at most.

This is another great example of celebration of life in Japan, a country with one of the highest qualities of life in the world and yet many sadnesses and stresses created by people's thoughful minds. "Drive my car" and "Broker" are another amazing celebrations of life in Japanese cinema, with "Broker" being a South Korean film written, edited and directed by Japanese filmmaker.

waited to watch a movie of a toilet cleaner meanwhile you frowned at a toilet cleaner in real life, as long as it's on a screen for you you'll clap and smile along!

[@BEASTxMODE]

You wake up and you try again. Having another shot at life is perfection 🙌

[@1bigbillz]

Yup. This is the moral of this movie and it goes over the head of 95% of the audience. After the scene with his sister, you begin to piece together that this is a very educated man from a well to do family who is now cleaning toilets with a special needs teenager. Clearly, he did something very very wrong. I believe the relevance of the tree was that he HADN’T SEEN one while in prison.

[@Muhdah1972]

Just through this trailer I can tell how beautiful this story/film will be ❤

[@fdl238]

Who knew watching a toilet cleaner's everyday life would be therapeutic. It was like being there, enjoying the simple things in life like eating at the park. I watched this at home and it gave me that "cozy" feeling. Plus, those public facilities are a work of art! We don't have those in our country as far as I know. My favorite is the one that turns opaque and transparent.

I've seen this movie at least 10 times now thanks to AppleTV and trust me the ASMR is the best thing about this movie. I've never had a movie that's worth so much meaning and simplicity that it became like white noise to me at this point when I go to sleep.

[@elysiaaaan2]

the ending of the movie, how he was smiling and holding tears in the same time, i feel like the main character feels the solitude, but in the same time he wants to forget about it by smiling and enjoying the little things about his life, bcs if he didn't he would be sad.. and the scene when he cried after his sister and her daughter left, it showed how he was most happy when she was with him

[@surrenderinfaith]

I felt it was about his new beginning, the guy told him to look after his ex wife, he kind of knew there would be a new start, he realised how lonely he had been and missed his family. So he was happy and sad at the same time

[@Bugtortoise]

The sister scene just took your heart and wrung it out like a dish cloth. It was beautiful. The final scene went on a little too long but it made the point.

Really wonderful film. Just felt like a really big long hug.

Love this movie. Saw it twice in two days. I wasn't familiar with the short story referenced in the movie by the main character's niece, so looked it up and went back to rewatch the film. Let me tell you, knowing the plot of the short story "Terrapin" adds great weight to not only the niece's storyline, but also the main character's back story as well. It's quite easy to see why he may have isolated himself the way he did.

Interesting. I meant to look up why Niko wanted to be like Victor but I forgot until reading your comment. That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for sharing.

[@DansChan995]

I expected to see this film as a story of a man who is embracing the simple pleasures of life in old age, defying much of modernity. But the story seems to suggest something deeper as well- Hiroyama clearly is an educated man, and yet he is living his elder years in a job far below his station, hardly speaks to anyone at all, and is shunning most contact with his family. The tears he shed after that meeting with his sister seem to reveal something deeply held back, some deep pain. I almost got the sense toward the end that he was afraid of himself in some way, or something he had once done, and his current life was a way of making and keeping the peace within himself. Almost as if a semi-monastic life was a penance for a past sin. Not sure, but I think there's more to this than a life lesson about simplicity. I wish it had gone deeper.
