| A Scene at the Sea | comment |
Shigeru is a deaf-mute garbage collector who finds a broken surf board during a shift. This discovery leads him to wanting to surf. Despite the mockery of his neighbors, as well as other surfers, he gets support from his deaf girlfriend Takako, and looks forward to entering a tournament.Incomparable with the two previous films that Takeshi Kitano made (Violent Cop and Boiling Point 1990), A Scene At The Sea is the first movie which breaks with a lot of standards found in other films by the japanese filmmaker, mostly the fact that it isn't a crime/yakuza drama and that Kitano doesn't act in it. This movie also marks the beginning of a long series of collaborations between Kitano and Joe Hisaishi, who would go on to provide soundtracks for most of the movies made by Kitano during the 90s and the early 2000s. | |

Those Two Guys: Two guys keep harassing Shigeru whenever he's out for surfing. Later on, they try to begin to surf but they don't learn as quickly as Shigeru. | |

Burial at Sea | |
| A Scene at the Sea / int_330841a2 | comment |
Burial at Sea: More of a funeral played in a symbolic way. After finding out that Shigeru may have disappeared at Sea, Takako takes his board, sticks a picture of him and her on it, and leaves the board drifting into the sea. | |

Balcony Wooing Scene | |
| A Scene at the Sea / int_444fdea2 | comment |
Balcony Wooing Scene: Parodied. Shigeru plays the romantic trick of throwing pebbles at Takako's window. This is completely useless since she's deaf. | |

Sudden Downer Ending: Despite the fact that there's a peaceful mood (and no real villain) throughout the movie, it ends with Shigeru dying at sea, and Takako making a symbolic funeral with his board. | |

No Antagonist: Despite a couple characters who mock Shigeru and his ambition to surf (and later on, these characters start to behave well), you can't really point out a character with villainous intention in the movie. | |
