- Movie review of the film "Perfect Days", 2023, directed by Wim Wenders.
I Discuss what’s unique about this film, what I learned from it and how it has changed my life, as the seemingly mundane life of a Japanese janitor unfolds into a profound lesson on finding joy in the everyday.
I dissect the movie’s depiction of routine and contentment, highlighting how the protagonist’s simple yet fulfilling life can teach us to appreciate what we have. By embracing the concept of "wanting what you have," we can bypass the endless chase of desires and find true happiness in our daily lives.

18:26 Final thoughts
I watched this movie twice on a round trip flight, and loved it. Your review is spot on. Happiness and joy in life is wanting what we have. Awesome review!
Well said, glad you enjoyed it!
I’m only 6 minutes and 20 seconds in, but it’s a beautiful and solid review brother. I love how you really talk about the essence of the movie and the existentialism instead of only what you see on the screen.
What I think is also important to mention is that it’s not so complex to achieve such happiness as Hirayama is displaying. It’s a matter of approaching the things in life without criticism and taking the effort to see the beauty inside everything in life.
Awesome brother, very glad you are watching the film.
This movie is criminally underrated and more people should watch it.
You've probably finished the film by now right? What do you think?
@@TheLouisZhao Oh I’ve already seen the movie a couple of times hahah. I was saying that I was only 6:20 in to your video when I commented that.
But the movie became one of my favourites right after I finished it. I really like the facts that we never really get disconnected from Hirayama. We follow him the whole movie through. I also liked the fact that the movie itself didn’t have a soundtrack and that we listened totally the music Hirayama was listening to, because it really reflected what was going on inside of him in my opinion. All and all I just really love everything about the movie and found kt so inspiring. I can’t really describe how much I like this movie in one comment hahaha
awesome
Thank you
"INSATIABLE" In all the living creatures of this planet this is the only characteristic that is unique to HUMANS. Not the thumb, not the tools and definitely not intelligence. It's your insatiability on everything. And this unique characteristic that you posses will cause your extinction. And you cant do anything about it. So just smile just like the character in the movie. Its inevitable. It's NOT "wanting what you have or wanting what you dont have" IT'S WANTING EVERYTING.
To get answers to your questions about this film, you only need to watch Yasugiro Ozu's films, especially Tokyo Monogatari. At that very moment you will understand.
Woah looks interesting, will definitely check it out
@@TheLouisZhao Wim Wenders himself even made a documentary about Ozu, he's a big fan. In the first frames of Perfect Days I thought "Mr Wenders, I know what you're doing!
