My impressions of "Obaachan's Garden"

Yesterday, I watched "Obaachan's Garden" again in order to work on my media discussion paper. After I finished watching it, I had a feeling that I want to meet my own great grandparents. If they were still alive, they would be the same age as Asayo Murakami. I'm sure they experienced many severe things because of the time they lived in including the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War two. Although I can hear about them partly from my grandparents, there is nothing like learning the situation directly from the people who actually experienced. Unfortunately, most of my great grandparents had passed away before I was born, so it is impossible to hear from them now. Even my parents said they didn't hear so much from their grandparents. This film made me recognize the importance of listening to the people who actually lived each era while they are alive.
