1. | Comments by occultangle [Rating: 5/10] First of all, it's very easy to see where the idea for this drama came from, it's basically an inversion of the 14 year old mother, in which Tanaka Misako portrayed the mother (i.e soon to be grandmother, not the 14 year old),she really stole the show in that one. Now they have her as the 51 year old mother (which is what they should have named it for the sake of honesty), as much as I may like Horikita Maki, who plays the daughter, she definitely doesn't steal the show, the best performance is still Tanaka Misako, which has made me realize that she really must be a superb actress, and outside of her, every performance was mostly abysmal. The plot was crappy, and it's real hard to sympathize with this family of liars. Who in the world thinks it's OK to have every word that comes out of your mouth be a total lie. From there, we get to see how disrespectful and hateful they can all be to their mother, right after their father dies. And then they have all these goofy, sappy family moments where they all love each other, and they're the GREATEST FAMILY IN THE WORLD. If people in my family talked like that I would throw up, and we aren't a group of evil liars.
The most enjoyable aspect of this show is really from an educational standpoint. There is a lot of information and statistics on older age mothers, and medical treatments for infertility, and what not. But of course that presumes that the information is even accurate. I don't see myself dropping lines in a conversation where my source material came from the drama "Umareru", especially when that drama is about a family of liars. So you can pretty much throw out the whole compliment I gave it. On a similar note, I enjoyed the interviews with real mothers at the beginnings of each episode, it was a very original idea. They could have made a real documentary about the subject and it probably would have been better than the drama, and when I think about how interested I would be in watching a documentary about old age mothers (not very much at all), I realize that again this isn't a very good compliment. |
