Yasujiro Ozu is peacefully worried about the impact of modernization on Japanese traditional ethics and values. Several old men care about the marriage of their deceased friends, wives and daughters. The friendship is mixed with the little jealousy of loving the same woman as a teenager. The aftertaste of some scenes is like a pot of warm Shaoxing with ginger simmered slowly in a rainy and snowy day. Old rice wine. The back part of the movie also surprises the audience with a small conflict in the play, which is rare.

The film is still three years away from the director's death. The forty-year-old Hara Setsuko is still not a beauty, but after all, it is set up by a widowed mother, and the deep decree lines are engraved like a knife in the current movie fans like me In my heart, I don't know if it was engraved in the heart of the master who loved her deeply.

Si Ye Ziyi is in full bloom, and the beauty is amazing. I bet Zhang Yimou must have seen her in this movie first, and then happened to "meet" Zhang Ziyi in "My Father and Mother".
