Faraway Sunset (1992)

I must be in a weepy mood. Yesterday, The Ballad of Narayama made me tear. Today I couldn't even keep the taps off at Faraway Sunset. Dang it, it is supposed to be a happy success story! I'm in such a strange mood.

Faraway Sunset is the biography of Noguchi Hideyo, a famous bacteriologist known for discovering the bacteria that caused syphilis. It is also the story of a mother and her son — her extraordinary, yet in some ways, perfectly ordinary, love for her son.

Considering my weepy mood, I really wonder if I should continue with my plan to watch Dying at a Hospital this Tuesday.
