O. Henry wrote many stories, but this, the story of two "ultimate gifts", is his most famous.

2013年の12月のことだが、その中で起きている事件的には似ている映画を、比較的近い時期に見た。翌年１月25日から公開予定だった『花火思想』の試写と、すでに公開されていた『彼女は嘘を愛しすぎている』である。 前者は単館レイトロードショー公開の作品で、後者は全国一斉公開されたメジャー映画。 　 両方とも、主人公が昔バンドをやっていたが、いまはある「事情」からやめている。前者は才能のないメンバーを外さなければならないという葛藤に端を発し、後者は自分たちの演奏ではない演奏をそれと偽ってＣＤとして出し、メジャーデビューすることが踏み絵となった。 どちらも、バンドを大きくしなければならないという目的律が介在しているところは共通している。(本文より）切通理作の「映画の友よ」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/risaku.html
