The autumn of the Kobayakawa family, Reivew on The End of Summer

In a traditional family, the father is old and frail, and the lover who has been away for many years is still the head of the family, supporting the outline of the entire family like a pillar. Dispersed, where should everyone go, how to find their own happiness on the rest of the road of life, has become the mission left by the father without saying goodbye. When the gigantic chimney of the crematorium began to emit a faint smoke, the existence that usually did not pay much attention to this time must have left a strong imprint on everyone's heart.
The world is impermanent, and the curling green smoke will also be our final destination. Life is slowly passing among the trivial things, but it makes people caught off guard. As always, Ozu's style, with strong colors, is optimistic and free and easy, but still leaves a touch of sadness when he turns around. The dialogue is not much but just right, and the psychological activities of the characters are shown in detail. The choice of life, the various states of the world, the exchanges, complaints, and remorse among family members; each has his own thoughts. Life still has to move on.
