The night is beautiful tonight, don't have to go

Every frame is a textured image. It's nice to be slow and serious about doing things. It's the feeling of an old man's home. The creaking sound of the old fan, the half-closed curtains and the cool breeze, the good things come naturally, properly, and effortlessly.

After reading it, it feels different from seeing half of it. I haven't seen this kind of movie for a long time. Now it seems that the dull lines and the straight-forward dialogue scenes are the stubbornness of the old movies. At that time, the movie was still solemn, and it was a work of art in the palm of the hand. If you shed a tear for it, it would smile knowingly.

What I admire most is the way of living and doing things, doing one thing well at a time. But now I can't say what is important. When everything is heavy, everything is light. "Think like a philosopher, do things like a craftsman." The words written on a passing Gome promotional poster were ignored when they were impetuous, hahaha. "Cars, horses, and mail are all slow, and the keys are beautiful and beautiful" is an old topic and old lyrics, but it will always be emotional.

Why do we always have to "go". It seems that if you don’t go, you don’t live well. But, gone, still the same, live.

    100 times prettier than Hou Hsiao-hsien! My favorite passage is when my grandmother said to herself on a high soil slope to her little grandson who ignored her: What are you going to do when you grow up? Like your dad as a doctor? When you become a doctor, I don't know if I will still be alive. . . There is also the old saying when drinking alcohol and recounting the old days: losing children is very painful, but living with them is not so easy, it is really a dilemma.

    In the first few scenes, I felt so contrived, how could anyone say so good? Watching it patiently, Fang noticed the sadness in his heart under the politeness and smile on the surface. "In fact, we are very happy." "Yes, in fact, we are happy!" When I am old, will I laugh with my wife like this?

Tokyo Story quotes

  • Kyoko: [after the rest of the family had left] I think they should have stayed a bit longer.

    Noriko: But they're busy.

    Kyoko: They're selfish. Demanding things and leaving like this.

    Noriko: They have their own affairs.

    Kyoko: But you have yours too. They're selfish.

    Noriko: But Kyoko...

    Kyoko: Wanting her clothes right after her death. I felt so sorry for poor mother. Even strangers would have been more considerate!

    Noriko: But look Kyoko. At your age I thought so too. But children do drift away from their parents. A woman has her own life, apart from her parents, when she becomes Shige's age. She meant no harm I'm sure. They have to look after their own lives.

    Kyoko: I wonder: I won't ever be like that. Then what's the point of family?

    Noriko: But children become like that, gradually.

    Kyoko: Then... you, too?

    Noriko: I may become like that in spite of myself.

    Kyoko: Isn't life disappointing?

    Noriko: Yes, it is.

  • Shukichi Hirayama: [talking to Tomi about leaving the hotel early] Anyway, this place is meant for the younger generation.
