When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。盾牌是一部近年少见的极具争议性的连续剧，它打破了传统警匪片套路，把一群警官与各种罪案做斗争的同时，也面临各种自身问题的困扰，一个个有着复杂性格的警察跃然于屏幕之上，彻底打破了“警察就是好人”这种简单而幼稚的界定... 本片获得2003年度第60届金球奖中2个奖项—— *最佳電視劇情類影集（Best Television Series – Drama） *最佳電視劇情類影集男主角（Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series – Drama）：麥克奇力【盾牌】（Michael Chiklis，The Shield）。
