Notes
The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。旅遊是為了放鬆心情，節目紀錄Day和Candy在演唱會後出走台灣，隨性地探索台北、台南、屏東的旅程。21歲的她們會如何計劃10日的彈性日程？ 突然與同在台灣的Ivy So會合、為了心心念念的包子而早起、陪伴對方一起挑戰海陸空活動…一起與Candy & Day來一趟說走就走的旅程，邊走邊計劃才是真正的旅遊指南。。朋友、同事和评论家们揭示了唐纳德·特朗普背后的真实美国故事，讲述了这名胆大妄为的商人排除万难当选美国总统的历程。 在20世纪70年代，唐纳德走出他父亲的阴影并做成了一笔巨额的房地产交易，随后将目光投向了特朗普大厦的建造工程。 在20世纪80年代，唐纳德涉足赌场行业并努力拓展自己的品牌，作风奢华挥霍无度。但他的个人生活却因股市崩盘而瓦解。 离婚和婚外情的消息登上头条新闻后，面临经济崩溃危机的特朗普打算利用股市东山再起。 在21世纪，借助真人秀再度成为明星的特朗普将目光投向了终极的权力宝座：白宫。。
