Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Cruel Story of Youth is a 1960 film from Japan, directed by Nagisa Oshima. It has been called "the Japanese Rebel Without a Cause" for its story of alienated, angry Japanese young people in an uncertain era after World War II and the American occupation.Makoto is an attractive young woman with an unfortunate fondness for hitchhiking. One day she hitches a ride home with an older man, but the man stops at a hotel instead and expects her to go in with him. After she demurs he gets more aggressive, and is manhandling her when she is rescued by Kiyoshi, a young passerby. They agree to meet on a date, where its revealed that Kiyoshi is hardly a white knight, but instead is aggressive and domineering, and a petty hoodlum to boot. Nevertheless, Makoto falls in love. The two start running a scam in which they recreate their first meeting, with Makoto luring older men only for Kiyoshi to intervene and shake them down for cash.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Eventually, of course, their story leads to tragedy. | |

Dirty Old Man: Or "old lecher" as Kiyoshi puts it. These are the type of people that he and Makoto lure into their scams. | |

Chekhov's Skill | |
| Cruel Story of Youth / int_acecb17d | comment |
Chekhov's Skill: Makoto's sister Yuki has an old boyfriend, Akimoto—who is a doctor. And a doctor who isn't doing very well, based on his slovenly appearance and his shabby clinic. That proves crucial to the plot later on. | |
