Such a reserved, humorous and empathetic perfect character can only exist in Ozu's films, which is most vividly shown in Ozu's post-war films. After the war, Ozu is almost synonymous with the middle class, but when he uses a fixed camera and a low angle of view to shoot "Ozu Aesthetics", he uses the story of marriage, funeral and marriage to interpret the cherishing of beauty and the loneliness of separation, who can believe it? Is he a sinful gas sergeant? Unfortunately, the reality is so cruel and self-consistent. Perhaps escaping from himself, who committed countless killings, is the reason why Ozu renounced all evil after the war and insisted on expressing what he believed to be the ultimate beauty... Sartre, whose existence precedes essence, does not admit any human nature that can be expressed, but if it is true There is so-called universal human nature engraved in genes, so noble and despicable, kindness and cruelty must be a pair of universal existences that coexist. Whether it is Japan that invaded other countries, or China that has been invaded, the vast majority of its people will become selfish and cruel under the coercion of national wars. War makes the good in human nature unable to stand, but frees the evil in human nature , and then spread to every corner like dominoes. Since then, in addition to despicable numbness, hatred has been passed down from generation to generation in people's hearts. The war may have created a utopian Ozu aesthetic, but if possible, I hope that this evil war and Ozu's aesthetics will never exist in this world, which is the greatest treasure for all the beauty in the world. History cannot be changed, only the war 80 years ago can be remembered forever and commemorate 1937.07.07
