Report on the screening of the movie "An"

On Monday, May 6th (open on a substitute holiday), we held a screening of the film "An."
On the last day of Golden Week, The National Hansen's Disease Museum held a screening of the movie "An" from 1pm. We had many guests come and the venue was full to capacity, so we screened the movie in two locations: the video hall (venue 1) and a temporary training room (venue 2). Thank you very much. However, we had to turn away some guests due to capacity restrictions, and for that we apologize very much.
We would like to introduce some of the opinions and feedback we have received from our customers.

 

  • I'm glad that I deepened my understanding by watching the movie screening after observing the exhibition. After the screening, there was a commentary by the curator, which deepened my understanding.
  • It was a great movie. The paintings of Kinyokai on the 2nd floor were also fascinating. I'm really thankful to you.
  • The movie screening was very good. I thought that "I don't know" was a sin. I felt that it was a sad history that should be passed down to the next generation. I'm glad I was able to bother you with my junior high school son.
  • You showed me a very good movie. I was deeply moved. I was happy to meet Mr. Kizuki and Mr. Ichihara. I would like to participate in the next event as well.
  • I was very happy because it was the movie I wanted to watch because it was Kirin Kiki's last starring work. Hansen's Disease my daily life, I didn't know the actual situation. The permanent exhibition was shocking to me. All human beings are equal. Hansen's Disease and can't help but think that they just didn't know how to treat it for a long time.
  • This is my 4th time to see "An" today. I also bought the original book. Now, I think that I will not look at the tragic history of Hansen's Disease When I was a student, Leprosy Prevention Law as a matter of course and learned without any doubt. I'm embarrassed at the time when I didn't think the Leprosy Prevention Law I Leprosy Prevention Law has been abolished now. I would like to continue learning about human rights in my own way and reconsidering it.
  • I had read the story in advance at the library, but through the medium of video, I was able to understand the situation Leprosy recovered persons I was very impressed with the line scene that I found "the meaning of life" while spending most of my life in the face of discrimination and incomprehension in the world. I felt that I wanted to live in a gentle way, as if I could live without any obstacles, be surrounded by friends, and be close to someone while grabbing my own happiness.

We would like to continue to consider planning movie screenings that many customers can participate in, so we look forward to working with you. We look forward to your participation.
