蒼き狼と不思議な出会い
最近映画いはまっている。２０代の頃はたまに観に行くことはあったが、３０の声を聞いて以後はとんとご無沙汰で、
映画と云うものは頭の中に無かった。ところが不思議なもの、「焼けぼっくりに火がついた」ではないが、
昨年妻に誘われ嫌々ながら京都の映画館に足を向けたのが切っ掛けで、以後やみつきになった。
丁度そのころ、ワーカー・マイカル・シネマ大日とシネックス枚方が相次いでオープン。何れも自宅から３０分そこそこの所に在り、
大小９つのスクリーンをようし、一箇所で映画のはしごができるシステム。しかも夫婦割
（夫婦の１人が５０歳超の場合２人で行くと割引になるシステム）を使えば一人千円で観れる。これを利用しない手はない。以来、
週末は暇さえあれば映画館に通っている。
先週の土曜日は、今話題の「蒼き狼」の封切であった。安倍首相も夫婦で観たという。早速妻と二人で出掛けたのはいうまでもない。
早々にセンター後方の一番良い席を陣取りゆったりと座っていると、横の通路を、
小太りのおっさんと奥さんとおぼしき可愛らしい女性との二人連れが通り過ぎ、直ぐ後ろの席に腰掛けた。アレッ、何処か観たことのある・・、
まさか・・、それにしても・・。そんな思いでこそっと後ろを振り向く、おっさんと目が合った、お互い見つめ合う目と目、ムムッ、
「失礼ですが、○○では？」「ンッ・・松谷か！！」。何と不思議な事があるものだ・・。そのおっさん、日本海の孤島、
隠岐の島で中学高校と６年間、机を並べていた同級生であった。しかもお互い夫婦連れ、「この世に起こることに偶然はない、全て必然である」
という説もあるが、これは偶然としか言いようがない。とにかくビックリした。
また、「蒼き狼」にも感動した。ストーリーもさることながらスケールの大きさとモンゴルの風景が素晴らしかった。映画終了後、
旧交を温めたのはいうまでも無い。
I’ve been addicted to movies lately, I used to go to see them occasionally when I was in my 20s, but I haven’t seen them since I heard the voice of 30.
There was no such thing as a movie in my head. Strange thing, however, is that it’s not “burnt to the ground”, but
My wife invited me to go to a movie theater in Kyoto last year, but I was reluctant to do so, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Around that time, Worker Mycal Cinema Dainichi and Cinex Hirakata opened one after another. They were all about half an hour away from my house.
The system has nine screens, large and small, and allows you to go up the movie ladder in one place. What’s more, it’s a couples’ discount.
You can see the movie for 1,000 yen per person if you use the discount system (when a couple is over 50 years old, you can get a discount if you go together). There is no way to not take advantage of this. Since.
On weekends, he goes to the cinema if he has time.
Last Saturday was the release of “Blue Wolf” which is now a hot topic. Prime Minister Abe is said to have watched the film as a couple. Needless to say, I immediately went out with my wife.
Early on, I took the best seat in the back of the center, and as I was sitting comfortably, I looked down the aisle to the side, and I saw that…
A small fat man and a pretty woman who looked like his wife and two other people passed by and sat down in the seats right behind them. Oh, I’ve seen it before…
No way…but still… The old man and I met eyes, eyes staring at each other, eyes staring at each other, mmm, mmm…
Excuse me, but isn’t this…? Hmmm…Matsutani! . What a magical thing to do… That old man, he’s an island in the Sea of Japan.
He was a classmate of mine who spent six years with his junior and senior high school students on the island of Oki. And with a husband and wife together, “There are no coincidences in what happens in this world, it’s all inevitable.
There is a theory that this is just a coincidence. Anyway, I was surprised.
I was also impressed by “The Blue Wolf”. As well as the story, the scale of the film and the scenery of Mongolia were wonderful. After the movie.
Needless to say, we warmed up our old friendship.
