I decided to make a mark here

To remind myself
that no matter how old you are, you can't treat your parents like this...
Another thing: is adulthood really that scary?
The old couple in it can always easily forgive the indifference of their children and become self-sufficient. A comforting answer
, isn't it ? When a certain age is reached, they can ascend to such a state? Then when their children reach such old age, can they also wake up to these neglects
that are too late to remedy...and then regret?
Does it mean that as we get older, each has its own life and continues logically? It's
horrible...
can we not be apart?
Even if it must be a must, can we not be so decisive?
And almost perfect like noriko There are people in unspeakable pain too.
Life threw me a terrifying bomb when I just touched the surface of it.

Tokyo Story quotes

  • Sanpei Numata: I often wish at least one of my sons were alive.

    Osamu Hattori: Must have been hard to lose both of them.

    [to Shukichi]

    Osamu Hattori: Didn't you lose one?

    Shukichi Hirayama: Yes, my second son.

    Osamu Hattori: I've had enough of war.

    Shukichi Hirayama: Yes, indeed. To lose your children is hard, but living with them isn't always easy either. A real dilemma.

  • Sanpei Numata: I'm afraid we expect too much of our children. They lack spirit. They lack ambition. I've told that to my son. He said that there are too many people in Tokyo. That it's hard to get ahead. What do you think? Young people today have no backbone. Where is there spirit? That's not how I raised him!
