1) let's take a look at the main content of this film first: the summer vacation is coming, and the third grade students live with their grandmother. Summer vacation was particularly boring, so I came up with the idea of finding their mother. He took out the letter from his mother and prepared to visit her alone in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. After the neighbor's aunt knew about it, she resolutely took out a sum of money and asked her idle husband Kikujiro to bring a man? Get up and find mom. But on the first day, Kikujiro lost all the money his wife gave him, so they had to walk to Aichi Prefecture. After hitchhiking all the way and causing a lot of trouble, Kikujiro finally took the man to his mother's house, but the little boy was very depressed. On the way home, Kikujiro tried to comfort him, and they had a happy summer together.
2) A person's ability is high or low, his behavior habits are bad or good, and his manners are rude and gentle, but as long as he is warm and kind inside, he is very powerful. Mr Kikujiro is such a person. A rude and gentle person. That summer, in the name of his father, with a sense of guilt for his mother, he embarked on a road of self-salvation with his neighbors and children who had similar experiences, or his former self.
3) Kikujiro comes from the bottom, his father is violent and his mother is weak. In my impression, my father didn't treat him well and only took him out to play once. Later, when his father died, Kitano Takeshi saw his father scribble his name on the paper before his death, but his indifferent father clearly said, "That's just a painter, what's the use of writing". Kitano Takeshi seems to see his father's tenderness. Kikujiro is actually his father's name. His uncle's name is not mentioned in the whole movie. The name "Kikujiro" appeared at the end of the film, which is the name of the film.
