work hard to be happy

A retired professor writes books at home, and his twenty-seven-year-old daughter has been taking care of her father. Under the reminder of others, the father finally realized that his daughter should get married. The daughter was unwilling to get married, she lost her temper and became awkward, worried about her father's life, and finally her father said that I would start a new life, and the daughter married happily. It's all daily life. At first, when my father comes home, he just takes off his clothes and throws it on the floor. He calls his daughter to hand him a towel when he washes his face. He drinks tea, drinks, eats, and brushes his teeth. In the last scene, the father comes home and takes off his clothes. He hung the suit by himself, picked up the fruit on the table and started peeling it. The skin was broken, and my father was lost in thought. Life without someone to accompany and take care of it is indeed different. Before getting married, I was afraid that I would not be able to get married, and I felt reluctant to marry someone. This is the feeling of raising a daughter. The father and daughter had a long talk in the hotel. The father said that my life is coming to an end, and you still have your own new life to create. Marriage is not the beginning of a happy life. Happiness depends on the joint efforts of two people to create it. Therefore, we must work hard to be happy. When I saw the part where the father and daughter were drinking, I suddenly thought that this is the ending of the diet, maybe it is.

My father is God, my greatest happiness, and marriage can't give me happiness, girl, you are the daughter of a professor, is this the same thought? And there is a servant in your father's house, why do you have to tie yourself up? Fortunately, your father is not selfish and does not continue to delay you.

    I shed tears again in the paragraph about sending the daughter to marry. This plot is so similar to "The Taste of Saury", can it be said that Ozu has been filming the same story for 20 years? The same is the setting where the son-in-law/husband does not appear, I like it very much. Setsuko Hara is a big mouth girl! So pretty in a wedding dress! Sure enough, the clip that appeared in Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Good Boys and Good Girls" is this one, the paragraph of Noriko riding a bicycle. Hou's favorite? I don't want to talk about empty shots, composition, and low camera positions, but I can't help it!

    ? ? ? ? ? Parents are all scourges, and they can't speak. This is not love father. . . Ozu is very aware of the perversion of this repressed hierarchical relationship, expresses it, and defends this perversion at the end. That is to say, his (conscious) own perversion takes precedence over it. . . Pure laughter? ? Setsuko Hara's fake smile can't be accepted

  • Prompter: [singing] The iris hedge planted next to our old home:

    Nô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorus: Only the color remains as it was back then. Only the color remains as it was back then. The color carries with it...

    Prompter: The name of that man from long ago. The scent of wild orange flowers mingles together with the sprig of blue flag in his hair.

    Nô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorus: Iris and blue flag, so much alike: Whose color is deeper? Crying in the trees...

    Prompter: The cicada sheds its brocade gown...

    Nô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorus: Revealing sleeves as white as deutzia blossoms, as white as the snow. Day breaks. Pale purple clouds to the east herald Amida Buddha's coming. The pale purple iris opens its petals to enlightenment along with the folds of the heart. All the earth will be enlightened, even the flowers and trees. All the earth will be enlightened, even the flowers and trees...

  • Aya Kitagawa: What's there to think about? Go on, marry him. Good men are rare these days. Grab him.

    Noriko Somiya: But I don't like it.

    Aya Kitagawa: What?

    Noriko Somiya: Arranged marriage.

    Aya Kitagawa: Don't be picky. You'd never marry unless someone arranged it.

    Noriko Somiya: But...

    Aya Kitagawa: It's true, isn't it? If you found someone you liked, would you walk up and propose? You're not that bold. You'd just blush and squirm in your seat.

    Noriko Somiya: That's true.

    Aya Kitagawa: An arranged marriage suits someone like you.
