초록

本稿は、日本映画『おらおらでひとりいぐも』に描かれた越高齢社会と独居高齢者に注目する。日本は2007年、全人口のうち65歳以上の高齢者の割合が21%を超える超高齢社会に突入した。これまで日本社会は高齢人口による多様な社会問題が表出された。特に日本では高齢者の孤独死および自殺率の増加が社会的な問題となった。映画はこのような超高齢社会日本の特に独居高齢者の問題に注目し、彼(女)らがもつ孤独と虚しさを主人公のモモコさんの身体、風景、色彩対比、音響など色々な映画技法を通じてリアルに再現した。また独居高齢者の孤立や孤独の克服ため、個人的レベルでの努力と変化をモモコさんの事例を通じて見せながら、成熟した老年を尊敬し応援するというメッセージを込めた。このような映画の実践は高齢人口の増加により高齢者に対する嫌悪と差別がさらに深刻化している今日の日本社会の暴力的現実に対する抵抗の意味を持つ。また、高齢者および老年に対する既存の制限的常識とイメージへの挑戦であり、同時に高齢者と老年に対する多様なナラティブの可能性を提示するという点で意義が大きいと言える。

영어초록

This article focuses on the super aging society and the elderly living alone depicted in the Japanese movie “Ora, Ora Be Goin′ Alone.” In 2007, Japan entered a super-aged society in which the percentage of elderly people aged 65 or older exceeded 21% of the total population. Especially, in Japan, solitary deaths and increased suicide rates among elderly people have become a social problem. The movie focuses on the problems of the elderly living alone and realistically reproduces their loneliness and emptiness through various movie techniques, such as body, scenery, color contrast, and sound. In addition, the movie showed her efforts and changes at a personal level in order to overcome the isolation and loneliness of elderly people living alone through Momoko’s example, and sent a message that she respected and supported her mature old age. This is meaningful in resisting the violent reality of today’s Japanese society, where hatred and discrimination against the elderly are intensifying due to the increase in the elderly population. It is also significant in that it challenges the existing limited common sense and image of the elderly and presents various narratives for the elderly.
