    Ozu's first color film is said to be because Shochiku specially invited the popular Fujiko Yamamoto to make color films, and Ozu "became good-hearted". His preference for red was also shown on the screen for the first time. The film is dotted with red, either hidden or obvious, bright or dark: red water bottle, red chair cushion, red shirt, red radio, red flowers on the table, Okinawan red belt around Fujiko's waist, bright and warm, like this. In the atmosphere, the hall after marrying a...

    The theme of freedom of marriage is still the same today and there is no such parent~ After all, the audience applauding for their children is very enthusiastic; the train arrives at the table, the middle-level portrait, the sitcom transition...

    One of Ozu's many movies that I don't like very much....

    Tanaka Juandai's temperament makes the other side flowers warmer than the saury from the beginning to the end. The other side of the flower has another side, and naturally there is a contrast. This kind of looking at each other across the shore, and the feeling of kinship in the heart, is particularly...

    I really want to say that Ozu is the Jane Austin of the East, but the women in Austin's writings all have mothers who do everything possible to marry their daughters, and there is always a melancholy father in Ozu's shots who has no intention of marrying a daughter. Is this a difference between Eastern and Western cultures, or a difference in the perspectives of men and...

    Fifty-six years later, all bugs can be forgiven. The theme is clear and has a beginning and an end, and the emotional transition in the second half is a bit hasty, but it is obviously the reason for the editing. All the characters are cute and the girls are so beautiful. Every picture should also be liked. Times change, but good things are always the...

    It tells the story of Japanese men's power overwhelmed by women's pursuit of freedom in love. In my opinion, it is always unacceptable for a woman to pursue freedom bravely, because only a woman who is a student can pursue it with spirituality and smart eyes. I didn't realize that the pond was dreaming of spring grass, and the sycamore trees in front of the steps had already made the sound of...

    Therefore, Ozu's ability to copy himself is still very...

    "The other side flower blooms for a thousand years, falls for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet." The fate of parents and children is actually like this. Parents raise their children, and the children eventually grow up and become independent individuals; no matter how deep the parenting grace is, the children will eventually "betray" their parents and leave them. Weddings and funerals turned out to be nothing more than "lively or quiet despair", and parents gradually...

    The warm gaze of Yasujiro Ozu

    The first time I watched Yasujiro Ozu's film, it was like drinking sake for the first time. The background music in the empty shot is a bit like "Edelweiss", a little sad and sweet memory. The neat and rigorous composition is like a still life, the orange-red kettle, the blue-and-white tea cup, the...

    happiness on the other side

    I like his delicate and serene shots more and more, just like what he shoots, the most plain and most affectionate. Perhaps the most simple family scene in the shot, a chair and a set of cabinets, also carry the warmth of the passage of time.
        There are no ups and downs in life, no conflicting...
