Stressed the happiness so many times

When I watched it many years ago, I also always looked forward to the appearance of the groom. I wanted to see what the groom who had been discussing for so long looked like? But this time, after forgetting the details of the plot, I no longer wonder what the groom looks like. I think that's what this father-daughter relationship is all about. Easterners even shy away from the word Electra. But here is the Electra complex. Noriko made it clear that she was a jealous type, and the Ono she liked was engaged, but she was still happy. I didn't go to the show together, and what I left was just a touch of regret. But when he heard that his father was going to remarry, his reaction was definitely jealous, shocked, angry, and even dejected. The idea that my father's remarriage is a scandal is just a complicated confusion. Of course, there is a premise that father and daughter get along well, understand and care for each other, and live comfortably and happily together. But that can't be a reason for her not to expect other people or other lives. The so-called love, probably the most important thing is the kind of happiness that is incomparable with other people. Live and travel with my father. She was as happy as a bird in spring.

The wall clock hanging on the wall of Qiuzi's house in the film reminds me of the faceless man in Spirited Away.

I remembered the movies "Wangxiang" and "Rainbow Story" that I watched a few days ago. During the war, the people were struggling to survive and could not eat enough. At that time, you can live in peace, and you can eat a good meal and be as happy as heaven. In "Spirited Away", eating is not a problem, but accidentally became a pig of desire. This film is bland and warm, without any horrific suffering or a big desire to devour people. But there is such an indescribable emotion and a tug of choice (the father emphasized the happiness so many times in order to convince his daughter). In short, no matter what the situation, people have to bear it.

    Watching the movie @Film Forum: Although it is the first time to watch it (ashamed...), I think Ozu is an addictive director! I think Director Hou is right. Late Spring is the kind of movie that everyone understands, but those who watch it deeply will watch it deeply and deeply. Extremely powerful control, extremely resistant to scrutiny, and the heroine's smile is extremely sad. The evaluation is also very good. The low angle of view is so delicious! PS. The heroine's clothes look good~

    The relationship between a father and daughter who depend on each other is so intriguing. This girl is nostalgic, father-in-law, affectionate, and family-friendly. She was reluctant to enter married life because she was afraid that her father would be lonely from now on. The film is soothing to make you aware of the passage of time. Let you pay attention to the beautiful people inside, the beautiful behavior, the beautiful home decoration, and the beautiful lines. Soothing and watching life go by.
