I feel like I've seen this movie before, but I still haven't fast-forwarded to finish it. Because of the early death of her father, her daughter Wenzi (played by Si Ziye) has grown up, but she is afraid that her mother will be lonely, so she has always been single, and wants to live peacefully with her mother, and does not want to get married. But the old friends of her mother Akiko (played by Hara Setsuko) are worried about Fumiko's marriage. They all agree that Fumiko is too beautiful to marry casually. They must find a good man for her, but Fumiko himself does not mean this. , Although Soichi Mamiya (played by Saofen Lixin) introduced his subordinate Shōtaro Goto (played by Keiji Sada) to Fumiko, Fumiko was not moved, she just wanted to live with her mother, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it . When Qiuzi's three old friends knew about Wenzi's thoughts, they thought that if Qiuzi was willing to remarry, then Wenzi would also be willing to get married, so they started looking for a suitable person before Qiuzi, and the first thing they thought of was the three of them. Hirayama Seiichiro (played by Beilong Er), he has lost his wife, so it is very suitable. Although the other two also had a crush on Akiko when they were young, especially Taguchi Shuzo (played by Nakamura Noburo) has always had a soft spot for Akiko, Both of them said that Hirayama was lucky. Finally, let Taguchi go and mention this to Akiko. But after seeing Akiko and returning, Taguchi told Mamiya Soichi that he couldn't speak to Akiko, because Akiko was still obsessed with her ex-husband, mentioned the past, and even burst into tears. But Hirayama didn't know it, and was still immersed in a beautiful imagination.
Later, Mamiya Soichi decided to cut in from Fumiko and told Fumiko that her mother was going to remarry, the purpose was to hope that she could make progress with Goto Shōtaro and that Fumiko would consider marriage. But I didn't expect Wenzi to be very angry after hearing about this, thinking that her mother was hiding it from her, and that it was her mother's infidelity. . In the end, it was Wenzi's friend who went to the three gentlemen. First, he expressed his anger at Mamiya Zong who created nothing out of nothing. Finally, the four of them reached an agreement to promote the marriage of Qiuzi and Hepingshan. With the help of Wenzi's friends, Wenzi eliminates the misunderstanding of her mother.
What moved me was the scene of Qiuzi and Wenzi traveling together, so warm and harmonious. It was also at that time that Qiuzi told Wenzi that she still wanted to be alone, she felt that it was very good, she felt very happy, she did not intend to deceive Wenzi, but a decision after careful consideration.
On the day Wenzi got married, Qiuzi came home at night and made the bed alone, looking very lonely.
Just like Qiuzi thinks she is happy alone, Wenzi thinks she is happy alone. Because they are warm together, the mother is warm, and the child is warm. It seems that the other half is not needed, and it is good to live like this. They are pure and beautiful people at heart. But Wenzi eventually got married, because she was still young after all.
However, when I saw Qiuzi going to marry Hepingshan, my heart twitched. For some reason, I felt that Qiuzi should not get married and should be alone.
Setsuko Hara played a number of widowed characters in Ozu's films. Perhaps in this movie, because she is playing the mother of a child in her twenties, Setsuko Hara looks extraordinarily old.
