Besides the movie versions, there have also been numerous TV drama recreations, including an animated version in 1980. Vision wrote: “a film about a school teacher who uses a strength-based approach instead of following the curriculum. A true teacher! A gem! We need more like her around. Free the children! The film carries emotional weight but is alternately endearing and overbearing to watch. Everything could have been done and said in about an hour. The film does come out as sad and soothing. Three fries!” Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review LABEL 2 影片娓娓道来的叙述方式，使得观众能够跨越漫长岁月与片中角色同欢喜、共悲伤。大石久子老师和母亲的双重身份暗含了“孕育未来”的意味，其横跨战前、战时、战后的故事足以窥见创作者对美好未来的殷切期望。 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
