    At a certain wedding, Zhou Ji was absent alone for three days at the same time as the bride's father. It turned out that his daughter Wenzi insisted on running away from home and living with the man she loved, which made Zhou Ji quite annoyed. Zhou Ji asked the company's executive and his friend Hirayama Shepherd to visit Wenzi's work place. You Dao is someone else's business, but it doesn't matter. Although Hirayama seems to be open-minded and expresses his understanding of Wenzi's approach, he immediately makes a 180-degree turn when it comes to his own attitude. His eldest daughter Setsuko and company employee Masahiko Taniguchi fell in love freely, disrupting Hirayama's arrangements for her daughter's marriage. Father and daughter are not just a relationship between two generations, they are more like enemies who are born to depend on each other and torture each other.

      sweetness of grass

      I fell in love with the name the first time I heard it. Things with a sense of distance always seem lonely and beautiful, like a complex, yes, a complex for movies, life, and life.
           It was Baby Anne's book, her first and only full-length novel to date. The text is pure but exudes a sense of loneliness. Her books always have those poignant women with gloomy eyes and sad smiles. They can never capture their own happiness. Those words penetrate into the heart like flowing water, wrapping...

      Summer and Ozu

      She likes the summer sky, she can exaggerately paint the blue of love all over the screen; she can hold a large cloud in her arms like a stuffed bear; she can make a prank thunder and lightning; more Can howling cathartic raindrops fall. She said that only summer is the sky of true temperament, like herself.
       He didn't like the summer sky. It was plain and lazy, but it was always so hot that it seemed like something was about to erupt. Such a sky would always be filled with the smell of...

      Because of loneliness, so thunder

      There are often inexplicable thunderstorms in summer, because it is very lonely!
        Loneliness is a strange thing. When young, women are more afraid of it than men, and when they are old, men are more afraid of it than women.
       That's because age gradually robs men of the abilities they have acquired. They pour happiness into everything they have. Loneliness begins with the first loss!
        So although Mr. Hirayama has been urging his daughter Setsuko: "It's time to get married! It's...

      Unawakened Pond Spring Grass Dream

      Sakurai, with lush green leaves, spends the evening there by chance, staying under the shade of a tree, is the last piece of the world...
      (Ozu really likes the surname Hirayama)

      Although Ozu's films are very fond of , but maybe parents will resonate more after seeing it. When I was at home, I watched "The Taste of Saury" with my mother. When I finally saw my daughter getting married, my mother burst into tears.
      So "The Flower of the Other Side" must be brought home for Dad...

      We will finally make peace in life

      "The Flower of the Other Side" is the only film in Ozu's films that I used to fast forward.
      There is a clip in the middle of a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, chatting non-stop, looking
      very annoying.

      When watching Ozu's films, don't study too much about the relationship between the title and the content.
      Just like "The Taste of Saury", you definitely don't think he is talking about food to you.
      The same is true of "The Flower of the Other Side".

      When...

      Ozu's first color film is said to be because Shochiku specially invited the popular Fujiko Yamamoto to make color films, and Ozu "became good-hearted". His preference for red was also shown on the screen for the first time. The film is dotted with red, either hidden or obvious, bright or dark: red water bottle, red chair cushion, red shirt, red radio, red flowers on the table, Okinawan red belt around Fujiko's waist, bright and warm, like this. In the atmosphere, the hall after marrying a...

      The theme of freedom of marriage is still the same today and there is no such parent~ After all, the audience applauding for their children is very enthusiastic; the train arrives at the table, the middle-level portrait, the sitcom transition...

      One of Ozu's many movies that I don't like very much....

      Tanaka Juandai's temperament makes the other side flowers warmer than the saury from the beginning to the end. The other side of the flower has another side, and naturally there is a contrast. This kind of looking at each other across the shore, and the feeling of kinship in the heart, is particularly...

      I really want to say that Ozu is the Jane Austin of the East, but the women in Austin's writings all have mothers who do everything possible to marry their daughters, and there is always a melancholy father in Ozu's shots who has no intention of marrying a daughter. Is this a difference between Eastern and Western cultures, or a difference in the perspectives of men and...

    Evaluation action

    Adapted from the novel of the same name, the film describes the conflicts between father and daughter due to marriage and love, and continues the warm and delicate style of director Yasujiro Ozu . Most of the scenes in the film take place indoors, and they depict such uncommon things as reminiscences between old friends and disputes between fathers and daughters. However, Director Ozu expressed these scenes that can be seen everywhere...
