If you have an option, between:

• Return to nostalgia and stay there permanently? OR;


• Having a positive heart and bracing the unknown future even though it was ultimately uncertain and harsh?

This is the main issue that every adult was struggling with, if you watch the movie as a kid, you just like, why does some people rather stay in the ideal nostalgia era? but if you rewatch the movie as an adult, you might get the answer for the question you had imagined when you were young, I remember a lyric from one of the Bee Gee's tracks --When I was Small and the Christmas Was Tall....... it hit me hard as my living experience told me that...... the awesome past days is already a history but why we keep remembering it for no reason? and the movie ends with a beautiful twist of KOBAYASHI SACHIKO performed as the ending song of the movie. (But still, Hiroshi's shoes were damn smelly as usual)
