I watched it when I went back to school, on the plane, I was in tears, I loved it
The following is from Muyu
In the film "Late Spring", the stories within a single scene have a strong sense of "ambiguity and ambiguity", so that each scene can be understood differently, and even at the end, no unique closure can be drawn. Story interpretation. Moreover, it makes the viewers have a sense of interest, and the story has become complex and diverse. It has to be said that this "sticky and ambiguous" feeling makes it a quite distinctive Ozu film. Noriko told her father that she didn't want to go anywhere, she was very happy as long as she was with her father, and even if she got married, she couldn't be happier than she is now, but Zhou Ji persuaded her: This is an order of life and human history. It’s not that you are happy at the beginning. Some people think that getting married will make you happy right away. Happiness is not something you wait for, but you create it yourself. Marriage itself does not mean a happy newlyweds create a new life in the process. What the movie wants to express is that in Japan, a society where the old and the new alternate, people are not necessarily willing to accept the new social order and concepts, just like Noriko is unwilling to get married. However, many things are not known before experience. Once an irresistible and inevitable fact is in front of us, such as "American culture is integrated into Japanese traditions" or "Kiko must get married", whether it is actively pursued by the protagonist or passively accepted, it is always To accept all this, although always resist at first, once the irresistible happens, people will start to find happiness in it. This proposition has a strong reality.
Happiness often has the quality of "ambiguity and uncertainty", like a connected radish and a cut radish. Just like people who are in a relationship, they cannot perceive the beauty of the relationship. When we are in happiness, we often do not feel happiness. However, when we lose happiness, we can perceive the existence of happiness. For example, Noriko and Hattori didn't realize each other's feelings at first, but when she and Hattori were about to separate, she felt very sorry and realized the beauty before. When the father and daughter lived together before, he seemed to think it was normal, but when he realized that he was going to be separated, he felt unspeakable loneliness. Even if a young Aya made a favor to him, he was alone at home. What people sigh with emotion is that people often feel happiness when they are lost, but when they feel happiness, they have nowhere to find happiness. This is a philosophical problem of life. In it, I don't know how to cherish it. Looking back, I have lost it. So is happiness a real feeling? Or does it have the "ambiguity" of Schrödinger's cat? Japan will always accept American culture, and its citizens will one day be happy. Noriko and Satake will always be together, and they will be happy one day. But could this happiness be an afterthought? Perhaps, this problem exists in itself, like the sea with the waves in the distance at the end of the film.
Happiness is impossible to capture for those who are in the midst of eternal change. It seems that people can't do anything, they can only sigh and keep the memories in their hearts, and then smile at the corners of their mouths. Maybe this is a normal life.
