Why do you like Yasujiro Ozu? This is simply a question that cannot be explained clearly.

Ozu The two works of Yasujiro Ozu are somewhat similar , they all focus on the theme of sisterhood. The Zongfang sisters are unmarried sisters, one is trendy and the other is classic. In the autumn of the Xiaobayakawa family, they became three sisters, one unmarried, one married, and one deceased husband. Among the
Zongfang sisters, the sisters After accompanying the father who had cancer to the temple for the last time, the father and daughter recalled "the toon tree flower fell on the moss", the father said to the daughter, "I thought I would never see such a beautiful toon tree flower again in this life", In such a situation, only Ozu can photograph the depths of my soul that are hard to reach, and scratched as if he had caught something nameless. The
sisters argued, and the sister said, "What you like is the temple as old-fashioned as it is things, my sister and I are so different", the sister said, "you like those fashionable fashions, this year this year, the next year, it must be good? After a few decades, do you still remember them? Does it have to be outdated?" The
autumn of the Kobayakawa family is completely an aesthetic demonstration of classical Japanese women. Where can you find such an elegant woman in Japan today? Kataohara Setsuko and Shi Yezi had a conversation at the lakeside, and talked about the beauty They all squatted down, one was wearing a dress, the other was wearing a kimono.

The End of Summer quotes

  • Hisao, Fumiko's husband: The old flame is flaring up.

    Fumiko, eldest daughter: I wish Father would act appropriately for his age.

  • Akiko: I don't know how young people feel about things these days; but, I think it's stifling to live with someone who has no character. In my case, as an example, if a man was a little wild before I married him, I wouldn't be too bothered; but, I would never marry a man who lacks character. You can alter behavior, but you can't alter character.
