Different feelings for relatives of the opposite sex

I am a fan of Ozu's brain, and I am very obsessed with the charming combination of Kasa Chizu, Hara Setsuko, and Sugimura Haruko... "Late Spring" is a work from 1949. After experiencing silent films, wars, and admiration, this film began to make Ozu famous. ...about Ozu's consistent still shooting (so static that it can't be called a long shot), it shows the pain or nothingness in the character's heart, and it also tells us that life is so dull and unchanging... The elevation angle shooting has also been inherited in this film. , This is Ozu's respect for civil society and his cherishing of the most ordinary family life in Japan... The standard composition of the golden section makes the black and white film picturesque, and the surreal black and white contrast makes the black and white picture full of Visual impact, I think the filmmakers are exaggerating these two points. It should be that Ozu was indoctrinated by Hollywood. On the one hand, it is the need for standardization, and on the other hand, it takes into account the feelings of the audience... I think the paradox is that the previous film was purely based on father and daughter and The dimension of family is used to explain this film. However, I think this film has the connotation of psychoanalysis and feminism. Setsuko Hara was also a representative of democratic women at that time. In this film, she is a complete retreat of feminism. The first is to succumb to the love of the father, then to the arrangement of the society and choose to get married. Obviously, following the rules is what everyone expects, even if the father has a heart... From the psychoanalysis of Freud's origin, the mother died early, the daughter " The "Eraktra" complex was realized, and she identified herself as the mother's role. In her heart, the so-called filial piety to her father was actually a metaphor for her love for her husband, so she did not choose to marry, in the name of taking care of her father, and being a father When she was about to marry her stepmother, she suffered indescribable pain, and finally chose to marry her on a blind date because she believed that she had become an obstacle to her father's happiness instead of pursuing her own happiness, that is to say, she was abandoned by her father, who could refer to her husband, and could not I don't choose to leave... The above psychoanalytical explanations are by no means my imagination, and the dialogue and affection between the father and daughter are obviously beyond family affection, which is everywhere in the film... The father wants his daughter to be happy, but he cannot always be there for him. He chose to marry his daughter when she was young. On the one hand, it is the father's love for his daughter, and on the other hand, it is also a man's blessing to the woman he loves. At the same time, it is clear that the father does not show much joy when the daughter is married. , his only joy is nothing more than a father's impression of his daughter's happiness, but the rest is more sadness. Of course, you can think that this is a reluctance to give up to his relatives... After the father fulfilled his daughter's marriage, he did not I didn't choose to get married again, and my previous words became a lie. Is my father used to being lonely? Did you have a good impression of the opposite sex in the film? Or, he always loves to play the role of wife all the year round 's daughter? These are unknown, but the above explanation can be used as a way to understand the film... You must know that Ozu came from a wealthy family, and people from such a family are often more confused when they are imprisoned. His love for his mother seems to be more than everything. Even after the death of his mother, he was in so much pain, his body collapsed, and soon he was in human affairs. Is this simple filial piety understandable, or did he have special feelings for his mother?

    My friend cried after watching this movie. I didn't cry because he watched Ozu less and I watched more. The feeling that I want to cry is usually the basic feeling of watching Ozu movies, but if I watch too much, crying is the past tense.

    1. Milestones in various senses: the joining of Noda Takao, the opening of Hara Setsuko, the beginning of the series of married women, the real establishment of the status of Master Ozu. 2. In fact, there is a hidden continuity in the theme of the film before and after the war with Ozu. It is both a variation of "While My Father Lives" (two admonitions for children who want to live with their fathers); and another expression of the reconciliation theme of "The Hen in the Wind": women traumatized by war ( Don't ignore the detail that Noriko was ill from forced labor during the war!) Eventually accepted the discipline of patriarchal/paternal power and entered a new life. The design of the married daughter cleverly hides these controversial themes, making the expression gentle and more human. 3. In addition to the sound and picture coordination, it is slightly rough, and the form has been perfected. As Jia Zhangke and Hou Hsiao-hsien's favorite film of Xiaojin, it makes sense. The script is closely matched, the scheduling is light, and the empty mirror reaches the realm of mystery. Apples, waves, and the teapot in front of the window lattice that night. 4. Bamboo Forest has verified the hidden connection between Kiko's image and the Noh drama "Du Ruo" in the film. Although it is a bit far-fetched, it is very interesting. Let's talk about it.
