Oshin Page #3

...about her soldier brother being in Port Arthur.

What's wrong with being at war?

Aren't soldiers great men?

Isn't your injury honorable?

That is not what it is.

Wars are won by killing people.

That's not great.

Did you kill people...?

That's why I left the army.

Let me read it.

"O My Brother,

You Must Not Die by Akiko Yosano"

"O my young brother, for thee I weep"

"O Brother, you must not die"

"Would parents give a child a sword"

"And teach him to kill With it?"

"Tell him to kill and then die"

"After nurturing him for 24 years."

You can memorize that.

What is that?

It's a harmonica. I had it when I was at war.

You're good at that, Oshin.

What a happy laugh-

You too, old man.

I guess your family is preparing for New Year.

Married Less than ten months.

Have you considered your young wife?

Who have you left behind For her to rely on?

O Brother, you must not die.

I found bog rhubarb shoots,

Shunsaku! Spring's come!

That's right. You can leave the hills now.

Oshin. Leave this hut tomorrow at daybreak.

No, I want to stay!

Shunsaku, please let me stay. I'll do anything!

I wish we could...

You taught me so many things.

I want to learn more!

I love it here. I love you, Shunsaku.

I love you, Old Matsu.

I've been so happy here. Why should I leave?

Oshin.

I hate spring! I wish it never came!

Oshin!

Go home.

You have your whole life before you.

You can't stay in the hills like this.

Shunsaku...

I want you to keep this.

But that's important to you.

That's why I want you to have it.

Go ahead, play it.

Good. Play it louder!

I don't want to play it anymore.

I have to go now, Shunsaku.

You!

Where do you two live?

I'm a hunter from the hills.

And the kid?

She's from the village.

Take them in.

Yes, sir.

Come on.

I've done nothing.

We're looking for anyone suspicious.

You're a deserter, aren't you?

You'll be court-martialed.

Stop it, you brat!

Leave her alone! She's innocent!

How dare you!

Oshin...

Live a full life.

Shunsaku!

Shunsaku!

Get away.

Dad, I'll put this away.

Dad!

I saw Oshin's ghost!

Oshin?

Mama!

Oshin!

You're...

...really Oshin!

Mama!

No!

Don't hit her!

You know how hard you made it for us?

They took the rice and humiliated me!

Don't! Leave her alone!

No!

We gave up all hope

and thought she was dead.

We should be thankful!

Come on, Oshin. Get inside.

Granny's waiting for you.

Oshin!

No, she can't go inside my house!

Don't!

You couldn't even complete your contract!

You're no longer my child! Get out of here!

Don't worry, Oshin.

Oh, I'm so glad you came back.

Mama!

I have to go.

Oshin, you're so good with your sister.

I'm impressed.

She's cute.
