Ozu rarely shoots a work without a married girl, and rarely uses highly saturated colors and soundtracks. It reminds me of Hitchcock’s "Ghost Case", and I also point the camera at the child, Drunkards, language errors, highly saturated colors, and a brisk soundtrack with terrible behavioral logic.
What topic Ozu discusses in this film, some people think this is a comedy, but I see a deeper tragedy behind the comedy. This is a film about the aphasia of low-level people during the economic depression.
It should be noted that the background of such a comedy is that everyone is under the pressure of unemployment. In order to buy a TV set and washing machine, it is necessary to pay in installments. The door-to-door salesmen form a group to deceive people to buy the goods (the compulsory salesman and the alarm are a group People), eating saury rice every day, and pressure to retire are swept over, and living standards are in danger of declining.
Faced with such a dilemma, most people are aphasia.
The translator is aphasia, because he doesn't have a job and can't show his thoughts to the person he likes;
Unemployed neighbors are aphasia, because they can’t find a job and drink and smoke all day. After drinking, I’m very happy, but in fact I’m not.
The child with diarrhea is aphasia, because the family does not buy him shorts because of the constant diarrhea, and he is trapped in place;
The neighboring women are speechless, because of various misunderstandings, one prejudice followed by another prejudice.
The two children were also actively aphasia, and their expressions were not heard, so it is better not to express them.
And the factor that causes and solves all of this is money.
The lack of money to buy a TV caused the children to lose speech. After buying the TV in installments, the children finally stopped being silent.
Because they had to pay for lunch, the children took the initiative to communicate with their families for the first time.
Because there is no money to continue to buy shorts for the child, the child is trapped at home.
Because of money disputes, various misunderstandings between neighbors have been caused.
Because of aphasia, I have been unable to speak nonsense, so it is better not to speak.
