Looking for the name of a Japanese movie

The film "Rakugo Master" will be released nationwide in April this year. I believe that Hong Kong film companies will not introduce it. When Japan releases the DVD in the future, it probably will not include English subtitles. The reason is that the film is based on Japanese traditional This comedy is based on the performing arts "Rakugo" and tells the story of Rakugo master Xiao Mantei Hashikuru and his family and disciples. Before watching this film, I knew nothing about rakugo, and now I only know a little bit about it. All I know is that there are two rakugo channels on JAL flights, there are rakugo programs on TV, and there are rakugo performances in theaters in Kyoto and Osaka.

At the beginning of the movie, the subtitle "Arts and Culture Promotion Fund will help businesses" appears. Although rakugo is a traditional skill, it is not something from Gansu Eight-part Group. It is a bit like a stand-up comedy, but also like Chinese stand-up comedy is basically a solo performance on stage telling jokes to make people laugh. However, the performers sit and hold paper fans. In addition to telling jokes, they sometimes sing songs.

The prologue of the story is that the smiling man Pavilion Qiaohe is about to die soon. Several disciples gather around the old man’s bed. The eldest disciple bows his head and listens to the master spit out his last wish: "so-so" ("そ,そ○が见たい…"). What? Before he died, the teacher wanted to see a woman’s private parts again!

I couldn't find any outsiders for a while, so I had to ask the disciples' wives for advice. We cannot let the wife of Hashiji, who is his biological child, do it because of the unhealthy ethics. The eldest disciple Hashiji is still single, the wife of the younger disciple Hashichi has just given birth to a child, and only the wife of the second disciple Hashita (played by Nakai Kiichi) Shigeko (Honmura Played by Kano) is young and beautiful, and is the most suitable candidate.

Absurd enough.

Of course Maozi protested, but her husband said that he had the most beautiful body, and Maozi himself was a disciple of a master. good! There is no hope for useless disciples like you. Let me fulfill my master's last wish. So he and his husband ran to Shishou's bed, lifted up his long skirt...

Then Hashiji asked Shishou if he was satisfied, and Shishou said with his last breath: "so-to!" (そとが见たいというたんや...) I just want to see the scenery outside again, idiot! Master Jiang passed away three minutes later.

At this time, the title of the play was typed on the screen, indicating that the story had just begun.

Why is there such a prologue? It is used as a trailer or gimmick to attract you, but the joke itself also demonstrates one of the main techniques of rakugo to make people laugh: the phrases produced by similar or even identical pronunciations
