live like floating grass

Compared with his earlier works, Yasujiro Ozu's "Floating Grass" can be described as a series of surprises.

1. The dramatic conflict is more intense and externalized than before;

2. There are several kissing scenes; (this is really not easy)

3. The use of color is a master level; The movie is so familiar and easy to grasp.)

Although there are many "changes", "Floating Grass" still has Ozu's consistent "unchanged", that is, the attention to the joys, sorrows and sorrows of little people.

At the beginning of the film, delicate emotions flow slowly like the water of a small stream, and as the plot develops, it converges into a river, surging undercurrents until it finally erupts.

In the middle of a big river, people are like insignificant floating grass, destined to wander for a lifetime.
