《No Longer Human》, based on the Japanese novel of the same name written by Osamu Dazai, tells a story of Ōba Yōzō. Born in a noble family, Ōba finds it hard to relate to the world around him, but masks this sense of alienation with a jovial demeanor. His schoolmate Takeichi is the only man who see through his false buffoonery. So he befriends with Takeichi to prevent this man from revealing his secret. Then under the influence of a fellow artist, he meets at a painting class, Horiki,Ōba descends into a vicious cycle of drinking, drugging and affairs. Gradually, his life spirals toward self-destruction.
电影《人间失格》根据日本文豪太宰治的同名原著改编，讲述了大庭叶藏的一生。出身于贵族家庭的他与周围世界格格不入，但是他却用滑稽掩盖了这种疏离感。所有人中，只有他的同学竹一看透了他的伪装，所以叶藏和他成为朋友来保守自己的秘密。之后，叶藏偶然结识同一画塾的堀木正雄，并在其影响下陷入酗酒、用药物麻痹自己与情色纠缠的恶性循环，逐渐走向自我毁灭。
This film is full of perplexity and hopelessness. Ōba Yōzōsuffers a lot during his short life. He is loved by others but not able to accept the love. Because he can’t adjust himself to complex emotions in the world. He is so perplexed that he feels despairing. Meanwhile, he is too cowardly to be resist the world in order that he is addicted to binges. And he tries to destroy himself. He thinks he is disqualified from being a human just as what the title of the film said and dislikes such a man. I have a deep impression on a sentence in the movie, which is that I’m sorry for my existence. How hopeless the one who have said this is!
这部电影充斥着迷茫与绝望。叶藏短暂的一生承受了很多。无法适应世间复杂感情的他，被人爱却无力接受爱。他迷茫以致绝望。与此同时，他懦弱地不敢反抗这个世界，就此放纵自己沉迷狂欢之中，并试图毁灭自己。正如这部影片的名字，叶藏认为自己已经丧失了做人的资格而嫌弃这样的自己。剧中“生而为人，对不起”这句话令我印象深刻。说出这种话的人该是多么绝望！
Feigning a popular man, one that actually is lonely will get into autocide. Everyone may be as confused as Ōba Yōzōsometimes, but we should be against the world and keep the qualification for being a person.
Even though 《No Longer Human》is filled with decadence and darkness, we learn something positive from it. Keep real and be yourself. We are sorry for ourexistenceno longer.
一个内心孤独的人却装作受大家喜爱的样子，将会走向自我毁灭。我们每个人都会有像叶藏一样仿徨的时候，但是我们要敢于反抗，保持身为人的资格。尽管《人间失格》中满是颓废与阴暗，但是我们却能从中学到积极的东西。保持真实，成为自己。生而为人，不再对不起。
