    If you leave, I will always be happy because I don't regret it. Is Yasujiro Ozu imagining the world after his...

    Three and a half. The first color Ozu I saw, Japan suddenly became modern. This piece of knowing details is lacking, only the artistic conception can be felt slightly. Setsuko Hara is a lot older, but the character performance has not changed. Sugimura Haruko and Kasa Chijo are really the nails of the Ozu film, even the soy sauce characters have to show their...

    8/10. After watching Ozu's three works, I feel that the characters are generally indistinct, and the scenes are always kept at a medium-view distance. He is good at impressing the Japanese family structure in the hearts of the audience with the exquisite combination of empty mirrors. The story is the same to the point of irritability, and this one is a little messy, but it is undeniable that he is a hands-on guide to teach you how to use quiet and dignified composition, close to real action...

    Li Zhizhong was the last to appear. There is a sultry and oppressive atmosphere that hangs over the whole story. There is hardly much joy at all. The father never forgets to have an affair with his ex-lover, the widow is really not interested in blind dates and plans to live alone, and the daughter is slow to find her beloved. The last wisp of blue smoke and gas probably means that the family has long since become...

    There is a cotton towel on top of his head, and the folding fan never leaves his hand. The naughty father is actually a "young man" in the mouth of Kasa Zhizhong. "Never rely on others, you must do what you want to do", "There must be many more before his death. want to do." Two sisters' conversations, one summer and one autumn. The leaves are so...

    I am more touched by the passages of Fumiko and my father. She seems to be the most dissatisfied with her father, but compared to the cheap daughter who only knows how to ask for a mink coat, or the feeling in "Late Spring", this is what I understand and feel is the normal state of the father-daughter relationship. There are two scenes that left the deepest impression on me. One is Wenzi hiding in a corner and crying after seeing his father recovering from a serious illness. After a false...

    1. Yasujiro Ozu's penultimate film, and another film with the word "autumn", is also the heaviest foothold (although the first 2/3 paragraphs are quite cheerful) - the sudden death of his father marks the autumn chill of the family Erosion of bone. 2. The theme of a widower marrying a daughter is similar to [Late Spring] [The Taste of Saury], except that the father in this film is really naughty and eccentric. After rekindling the old love with his former first love, he will follow him back and...

    The appearance of Hara Setsuko and Shi Yezi sitting together is very beautiful ~ Xinzhu Sanchiyo is also very beautiful... It is Ozu's ultimate dream to have all the actresses of the Showa era as his...

    Unforgettable sophistication and elegance - Si Ye Zi

    I watched this Ozu color film quietly at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, which is perfect and exquisite!
    "Autumn of the Xiaobayakawa Family" is much more engaging than "Autumn Harmony". Emotional expression is contained but not revealed to the point, and even death is so calm and calm. The...

    one chooses one life

    Li Zhizhong only played the role of a small farmer in this film, and he appeared at the end, just washing his handkerchief by the river, and a few short lines of dialogue. Never in a hurry.

    Qiuzi (played by the original Setsuko) is a widowed woman living with a child. Although there are relatives...

    Noriko, second daughter: He ate everything that they put in front of him. Then he loosened his belt! He ate so much.

    Noriko, second daughter: Yes, everyone insisted.

    Akiko: I see. What happened.

    Noriko, second daughter: He asked me if I disliked Western cuisine. So, I said, "What about you?" And after all that food, he said he isn't too fond of it! Such a peculiar man!

  • Akiko: What happened next?

    Noriko, second daughter: He saw that nobody was around, so he grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

    Akiko: And what did you do?

    Noriko, second daughter: I squeezed it back.

    Akiko: And then?

    Noriko, second daughter: He said that my hand was cold and wouldn't let go. His hand was warm. But when we were near other people, he would try to let go in a hurry. So I wouldn't let go of his hand on purpose.

    Akiko: And then?
