After watching the film, the saddest thing is not about the children who are not so close to and filial to their parents after the industrial society, but the second old man, it is easy to think of himself, and think about whether he will slowly fold clothes with his wife when he is old, and walk along the beach. Take a walk, sit under a big tree and eat a bento, and say something witty from time to time to make each other happy as well. When the eldest son and the old father said that the mother would not survive the morning, the old father kept saying "This is this, this is... oh... this is...", and then I burst into tears. The feeling of loneliness is unpleasant, and I can't bear to watch my old father walk slowly with his body hunched over. His wife left him alone in this world, the old father knelt on the tatami and looked out the window, the neighbors came to greet him politely, and after thinking of something, he said thoughtfully, "Live alone, life is really good. It's been a long time..." The small house, without one person, looked empty.
Japanese families are very polite, and there is always a biting chill and strangeness behind this courtesy.
This world is like this, it has always been like this, people must live for themselves. Kyoko, the wife of the third son's deceased father, is burdened with the guilt of selfishness. Jingzi told the old father's youngest daughter that people always have to go out, and as they grow older, they will become more and more estranged from their parents. I am often amazed when I see classmates I haven't seen for a long time, how his face has changed like this in two or three years, it is difficult to find out the feeling of the past with gestures. I don't know how my parents felt when they watched me grow up, and whether they would look at my face and recall how I looked when I was young. As I grew up, my parents' youth seemed to be drained by me, and my face and figure were different from before. This kind of change was so cruel that I couldn't bear to think about it and dare not look at it.
The youngest daughter said, then this world is really discouraging.
There are many symbolic scenes in the movie, such as breaking into the chimney with black smoke billowing from time to time, and the sound of the whistling train drowns out the children's singing... Yasujiro Ozu is really lying on the ground and refusing to enter modern society. Pessimistic children, indulging in the past makes it unbearable to watch.
That's how the world is... I just don't like it.
