"Happiness is something you need to wait for and create it yourself."

How to solve the Electra complex? In the end, he persuaded her to get married, "You will be very happy, I believe", the old man said, kneeling on the ground with tears in his kimono to thank his daughter for her upbringing.
It's another version of "The Smell of Saury", it's still the actors, it's still a bland family affair, but there are clips of father and daughter traveling together, and this outdoor scene is no longer so "dull". Together, they slept in the same room in the hotel at night. As she talked, her father was silent. She looked at the silent lamp of the bamboo shadow on the window.
The heroine still looks the same.
Simple soundtrack, from that era, yes.
Good lines: (Looking at it now, it is a bit depressing human nature, but it is very real)

This is an order of life and human history, and marriage may not mean happiness at first. It is a mistake to expect sudden happiness. Happiness is something you need to wait for and create it yourself. Marriage does not equal happiness, happiness lies in the tempering of a new life that we share, and it may take one to two years, or even five or ten years. Happiness can only be achieved through hard work, and only then can you be called a real couple. But when I got married, your mother wasn't happy, but she put up with it. All your love for me should now go to Mishima.

ps:
There is an actor named Aoki Fart, which is really strange.

    The father-daughter affair is an excuse, but it is actually a propaganda film about Japanese patriarchy after the war. The tears of the people's obsession with patriarchy have repeatedly expressed that we want to stay with you who will never change. The royal father smiled and replied that my pot has been smashed by the times. For the happiness of you, I have to put all of you on someone else's bed. It is enough to have me in my heart. See if I am very sacrificial? The narcissistic self-pity pose is really hard to hold

    I shed tears again in the paragraph about sending the daughter to marry. This plot is so similar to "The Taste of Saury", can it be said that Ozu has been filming the same story for 20 years? The same is the setting where the son-in-law/husband does not appear, I like it very much. Setsuko Hara is a big mouth girl! So pretty in a wedding dress! Sure enough, the clip that appeared in Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Good Boys and Good Girls" is this one, the paragraph of Noriko riding a bicycle. Hou's favorite? I don't want to talk about empty shots, composition, and low camera positions, but I can't help it!

  • Prompter: [singing] The iris hedge planted next to our old home:

    Nô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorus: Only the color remains as it was back then. Only the color remains as it was back then. The color carries with it...

    Prompter: The name of that man from long ago. The scent of wild orange flowers mingles together with the sprig of blue flag in his hair.

    Nô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorus: Iris and blue flag, so much alike: Whose color is deeper? Crying in the trees...

    Prompter: The cicada sheds its brocade gown...

    Nô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorusNô chorus: Revealing sleeves as white as deutzia blossoms, as white as the snow. Day breaks. Pale purple clouds to the east herald Amida Buddha's coming. The pale purple iris opens its petals to enlightenment along with the folds of the heart. All the earth will be enlightened, even the flowers and trees. All the earth will be enlightened, even the flowers and trees...

  • Aya Kitagawa: What's there to think about? Go on, marry him. Good men are rare these days. Grab him.

    Noriko Somiya: But I don't like it.

    Aya Kitagawa: What?

    Noriko Somiya: Arranged marriage.

    Aya Kitagawa: Don't be picky. You'd never marry unless someone arranged it.

    Noriko Somiya: But...

    Aya Kitagawa: It's true, isn't it? If you found someone you liked, would you walk up and propose? You're not that bold. You'd just blush and squirm in your seat.

    Noriko Somiya: That's true.

    Aya Kitagawa: An arranged marriage suits someone like you.
