This is an old movie from 1951. At the end, alone in a room, the exquisite kimono sets off the loneliness and melancholy, and stops abruptly when the hand is left. Every time a lengthy plot is reached, the picture suddenly rushes, and only the words of one or more people talking will push the plot to a climax. The film touches something vaguely, catches something, but deliberately conceals it, so that the storyline of the specific development of the film maintains a proper distance from the audience. Thus, we are left with a wider field of vision and a variety of imagination. The plot of the film simply talks about life. This kind of thing happens around us. Everyone's life will be experienced. For the marriage of that era, as well as the thoughts of all age groups, there is a real existence in the film, through the extremely cumbersome family affairs, the different views on the life attitudes of various people are compared. For Ozu's film, I really enjoy the sentiment. Every time in black and white pictures, showing a certain plot can bring people back to the past, and every detail is very delicate and sentimental. And Mai Qiu, still fluttering, suddenly felt the ups and downs of time ticking, even in black and white, I can feel the beauty of artistic conception. In life, you will always go through every journey, and you will encounter many painful things that you can't choose.
