Tokyo Story

Tokyo Story

In Ozu's lens, there are always those calm and lightly narrated stories - those stories that everyone has experienced, experienced, or will experience. The looming loneliness and melancholy touch us in a delicate and peaceful way.

Borrowing the name of "Guns N' Roses", too many movies win the audience with big productions, big scenes, the deterrent power of guns and the rendering power of roses. After the sight and hearing were bombarded for a while, when I walked out of the theater, I forgot everything. Ozu's images, however, leave us with a kind of emotion, which is very simple and very real.

When I meet Ozu in summer, it is natural, peaceful, pleasant and leisurely.

    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.
