Tori Matsuzaka and Suzu Hirose
- Inochi no Teishaba/ A Morning of Farewell
You two were able to light up the entire film, even though it was a film that directly confronted taboos in the medical system such as terminal care and euthanasia. How did you create your roles?
Tori: The director specifically advised that Suzu and I should be like the sun, so I took it very seriously. Noro has his own worries, but if I show too much of that, the whole film will give a heavy impression. The director asked us to be as cheerful and clear as possible.
Suzu: That's right. As a nurse, I often wondered how I should deal with patients, but with the director's advice, I tried to play the role with a neutral feeling so that it would not be too heavy.
Q: Important places that you'd like to visit again and again?
Tori: My parents' house is in Shonan (湘南). I often want to visit the sea in Shonan. The sea itself is not that beautiful (lol), but I feel comfortable and relaxed there, so I always go there at least once a year.
Suzu: Kamakura for me. It also has ocean. The first movie I acted in "Our Little Sister" was set in Kamakura, and I went there for about a year to film. Even now, when I visit Kamakura, I remember the fresh feeling I had when I first started acting (cont.)
Suzu:...and other things I had almost forgotten, and it makes me want to do things properly. It gives me energy and puts me in a good mood.
