Good morning

Ozu Yasujiro's essay-style works are about the polite greetings of adults, such as "Good morning" and "The weather is so nice", while hiding what they really want to say, creating barriers and misunderstandings. Through the child’s perspective, the parent does not say anything because the parents did not buy a TV. They use pumice-eating and farting as the skill and fun to show off each other. It uses a contrasting method to visualize the disadvantages of adult’s complicated words and uncomfortable words. Show up. Ozu's unique low camera lens and close-to-life description make children's performance more friendly and evoke many similar memories of childhood.

    The story is extremely simple, but it is short of parents, it is just ordinary people and ordinary things, but through Ozu's lens language, it is quite witty and interesting, as if a new world is unfolding before us: it can still be like this! Ozu's works seem to be easy to understand, but they are not frivolous and kitsch. He discovers the ever-new and ever-changing emotions in ordinary people's lives. Through more than half a century of film, he still touches people today - Ullens Center for Contemporary Art
