Tilt-shift footage of father-daughter trolley conversation. Even without the family breakdown storyline, the family drama still holds true. Because the audience has no doubts about the storytelling of the film, Ozu adds a lot of alienation expressions in the film. The root cause is that Ozu believes that fragmented images are extremely disordered, and the world is also disordered. It is an unshakable theorem! Another theorem is: life is infinite repetition, and small differences are...

#BJIFF6#Marriage is not the beginning of happiness, but two people create a new life together. From a daughter to a wife, from a child to a mother, to loving your husband the way you would a father, from one stage to another, these are the order of life. In the cycle of life, we don't want to change, but we will eventually adapt. "At that time, we were all married to other people's...

At first glance, I only focus on Noriko's slightly morbid love for her father. When I looked again, I found more shots of Yasujiro Ozu omitting language, and then I found that there was Noriko's unspoken admiration for her father's assistant Ono behind it. At the end is Ozu's signature short shot, the sea without people at night, which corresponds to the theme of the film: late spring. It alludes not only to the second marriage of the generation of father and uncle, but also to the mistakes of...

In fact, Hara Setsuko was never married, so she was known as "eternal daughter", "eternal virgin", "eternal saint"... In 1963, Hara Setsuko, who was in the prime of her career, suddenly announced her retirement and retired to Ozu. The scene that appeared in the movie many times - Kamakura, was also the year of the death of director Yasujiro Ozu, and he returned to his real name and lived in recluse, no longer involved in the film...

2014.12.13. For the third time. Last night, I dreamed that I cried while watching this film. I enjoyed Ozu's humor for the first 1.5 hours without any unnecessary dialogue or action, and I cried for the last ten minutes. How could a father not love his father? Ozu married his daughter for the first time and was the purest time. Noriko's idea of ​​marriage was pure and ideal, and Zhou Ji's concept of marriage was touching. It turns out that the happiest marriage is not at the beginning. Most peop

1. The biggest lie in my life is exchanged for my daughter's determination to create a happy marriage; 2. Expecting sudden happiness is a wrong idea, happiness needs to wait, happiness needs to be created by oneself, and happiness exists in the new life that we share. Practicing; 3. Setsuko Hara's smile is like the wind in late spring, warm; Setsuko Hara's tears are like rain in late spring, melancholy; 4. In a dim room, father is alone, happy and lonely, father's heart is...

It turned out that in the Ozu-style family before "Saury no Taste", there was also such a filial, gentle and virtuous beautiful daughter, and then because she was worried that her father would not be taken care of after her marriage, she did not find her sweetheart for a long time. Daozi in "Saury" is more purely to take care of his father's filial piety, while Noriko in "Late Spring" has some love for his father. Ozu knows how to use similar families to explore the possibility of various...

The one I was most afraid of was probably the Noh drama. The form of the camera seems to focus on the body and face of the daughter and the father in a neutral manner. The content—the daughter who is full of worries and anger, does not find anything wrong with the father who is fully immersed in Noh dramas—but it is closer to the subjectivity of the daughter. Cognitive state, but this again contradicts high realism. Not only what is "good for everyone" can't be grasped, but also the inside of...
