h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I saw "perfect Days" a few days ago. Hirayama is very kind to a young child who is crying in a bathroom. The mother comes for the child and doesn't even seem to notice Hirayama, but he seems not to be offended.

The scene in the park is very tender. Hirayama digs up a tiny Japanese maple (after first getting permission from the monk). he takes it home to his patio, where there are other trees in pots, of all sizes. He seems to take very good care of them. He loves to look though his apartment window at the trees.

We see him in tears late in the film. He has deep feelings. His sister disrespects him when she comes to pick up her runaway daughter. She can't believe he's cleaning toilets for a living.

At the end he consoles a man who is dying of cancer, then they play shadow tag.

A lovely, lovely movie.
