I was tired of watching it at night, so I put this movie on. Six months ago, I definitely didn't dare, for fear that I would fall asleep watching Ozu's films. Now, I don't know why I have such self-confidence.
My favorite character is the boss Komajuro. The troupe can't go on anymore, it's about to be disbanded, a group of people are drinking there, he asks this and that, and what he says is still encouraging words, it seems that nothing matters, everyone is still moving in a good direction, that's fine. The tone of speech is so calm and comfortable, but it feels like a calm retreat to the edge of the world. This is the end of the matter, why hurt others and hurt yourself. Therefore, in order to prevent his children from becoming the children of actors, he went to a foreign land and was willing to be an "uncle" for decades; therefore, he still promised Junko to go to a foreign land together and leave silently. His wife said, "Every time your father leaves this place, he is in such a sad mood."
His wife, the hostess of the tavern, plays the villainous woman who has always appeared in Ozu's films. In "Tokyo Story", she is a snobby daughter, and in "Morning Tokyo", she is a tongue-in-cheek neighbor, always with a bitter face, and her nose and eyes are raised. But I have always liked her very much. Although I haven't figured out the name yet, I feel that she may not be like this in life. In "Floating Grass", I finally waited for her tenderness, calmness and restraint, the original worldly became the vicissitudes of life. Finally, before the husband was about to leave again, the son came to ask, "Where's my uncle?" She replied, "Are you talking about dad? If so, he's wandering again."
There is also a rare love in "Floating Grass". Junko gave the girl in the troupe money to seduce the boss's son. They were truly in love. The process of falling in love is portrayed very implicitly, it can even be said: clean. He was sitting with her in the hotel, talking, inserting an empty shot, and the next scene was the two hugging and kissing. That should be a traditional expression of love.
When the characters in the film are uneasy, there will be something that seems to be a piece of white paper floating down from the sky, four or five pieces, fluttering, but it will eventually land for a moment.
I got advice from my friend skysurf, and the record is as follows:
The proprietress who plays the floating grass is called Sugimura Haruko, an actress with great acting skills, because of her background in stage plays, acting in movies is a piece of cake.
She is the most powerful in Ozu's films.
Because Ozu has very little space to limit the performance of the actors, she can still retract it freely.
When she was old, the life of a woman who acted in stage plays was still from a young girl to an old age.
She can play better in Naruse's movie Wanju, because Naruse's movies rely on actresses to play
, so Tanaka Kinyo and Hideko Gao have outstanding performances.
I like Sugimura Haruko's performance in late spring, there are many humorous little tricks playing Hara Setsuko's aunt.
