ヨーロッパやアメリカの名監督たちに「映画は死んだと思うか?」とインタビューしていく、身も蓋もない映画に遭遇した。僕自身、20世紀の欧米文化やアートへの思い入れはある。けれど、良いんだか悪いんだかよく分からないものを、映画祭や内輪の評論家、メディアが持ち上げて守ってくれる「エコシステム」は、もう終焉を迎えたのだろう。「映画は終わった…」なんて嘆くヒマがあったら、彼らも『RRR』のキレッキレのダンスを見て、前に進むしかないよね(笑)。

TVerで見た番組で、旅人の岩崎圭一さんのことをたまたま知った。ストリートマジックで稼いだチップを糧に自転車で世界一周を続けているという。その逞しさに画面に釘付けになったが、彼が「Britain’s Got Talent」に出場していたと知ってさらに驚いた。エベレスト登頂、大西洋を手漕ぎボートで横断、そしてあのサイモン・カウエルを芸で唸らせる…。「人力(人間力)の可能性」を教えてくれる、国宝級の存在だと思う。無事に帰国されることを祈っております。

インドに実在する予備校『スーパー30』を映画化したこの作品で、特に印象に残ったセリフが二つある。「英語は僕らと富裕層を隔てる大きな壁だ。英語はお金よりも大事だ」「王の息子が王になる時代は終わった。これからは、ふさわしい能力を持つ者がなるのだ」 このところ日本の一部では、まるで日本が経済的に息を吹き返したかのような物語を信じさせようとする風潮がある。この二つのセリフに込められた切実さとは、無縁の世界のように思える
