There are no ups and downs in life, no conflicting plots, quiet music, slow shots, always a high perspective, it is said to be sitting cross-legged, not aggressive, replaced by cautious respect, this is Ozu's work.
The other side of the flower also expresses the theme of family, telling the story of children getting married. The daughter is eager to marry the person she likes. On the surface, the father is in favor of free love and is stubborn and stubborn, but in the end he approves of his daughter's marriage. There are no noisy quarrels in the film, and the emotional portrayal is deeper and more restrained, which can only be savored. A section at the end of the film describes the scene of my father's high school classmates reunion, which is very touching, especially when everyone sings songs from the war years, the man's inner dignity and fearless bravery are undoubtedly revealed, and more of it is for those who have gone forever. Sadness of time.
The other side of the flower, the other side of the flower, one deep and the other warm. In the end, the father gave up everything to fulfill his daughter's happiness on the other side.
Every time I read Ozu's works, it's like reminiscing about a life, a life that I have never experienced but was deeply immersed in. The value of something is eternal, he defines an era. Perhaps it is impossible for today's directors to complete such a film, because no one writes such a script anymore, and there are no such actors. Even if it is really filmed, it may only make people feel ridiculous. The times have passed, and some things will naturally follow.
