　　《學校》是(shi)山田洋次構思了15年的意念。影片的背(bei)景是一所夜間中學(xue)，負責教學的是(shi)已(yi)屆(jie)中年的黑井(jing)先生。
　　
　　他本來(lai)可以有(you)機會調(diao)職到另一家正規學校任教，但(dan)他卻拒絕了。又一個學期要過去，在畢業(ye)禮(li)即將來臨之前，黑井(jing)叫每個學生都(dou)以過去一(yi)年的日子做題材，寫(xie)下(xia)一些(xie)值得回味(wei)的事(shi)情。班(ban)上的同學，有不同(tong)年齡的、不同(tong)國藉和背景的(de)，不約而(er)同(tong)都發現：歲月雖然(ran)匆匆，但箇中悲(bei)喜，尤其(qi)是(shi)黑(hei)井的關懷，卻教他們永(yong)誌難忘。
　　
　　本片是山田洋次創作生涯上的(de)另一高峰：七年間(jian)已(yi)拍了(le)四(si)集，是(shi)山田繼《男人之苦》後(hou)的第二個成功系列(lie)。
　　
　　Directed by the creator of the Tora-san series, Yamada Yoji, "A Class to Remember" unfolds in a night junior high school on the lower east side of Tokyo. Students from their teens to their sixties are enrolled. One of the most beloved teachers, Kuroi, asks each student to write an essay recalling their experience in the night school. In the midst of the class, a piece of tragic news arrives: Inoda, one of Kuroi's students, has passed away, upon which the whole class starts talking about each other's memory of Inoda. Compassionate and extremely poignant, "A Class to Remember", marks the beginning of another film series for Yamada. So far four installments have been made and all are box office hits.
