    Really marry a daughter again! Last time it was an old father who lost his wife, this time it was a widowed mother who only had one daughter. It was a completely different entanglement and sadness. The drinking friends (the same group) are as entertaining as ever. I guess they hold up half the sky in the Ozu movie world [Hey] There are so many beauties! Si Ye Zi's beauty is the first, Okada Jasmine is arrogant, charming and invincible, Hara Setsuko is simply Chunfeng himself. #Otsu married...

    The taste of this father is too strong, I can't stand it anymore, and Ayako is also pitiful, without one father, there are three more fathers. Or turn left to "Autumn...

    One of the most beautiful and shocking variations of Ozu's later films, seeing how a film-historical master can play with the same subject matter, and even turn the same thing out of another dimension. Rohmer's "Autumn Story" must have borrowed from this, but it is still only a low-profile version compared to it. Ozu's presentation of women is by no means patriarchal, and he can see the disintegration of Japanese traditions, but he is not sentimental and nostalgic about this, but is willing to...

    The problem of speed is subject to the problem of relative position, that is, "the first opportunity". The three men think that they are one step ahead of Ayako and have ambiguous possession, but Akiko, who seems to be the least aware, is ahead of them. Everything always starts from The beginning is already doomed, so time really flows in vain - the repeated passages ("How many more times?") are just to remind people to perceive some kind of "time" in this irresistible empty current....

    Ozu turned to have a somewhat ambiguous attitude towards the fathers. The old man did a good job of filming with such energy. The scene where Okada Moliko singled out the three old men was quite ambiguous. Is it true? depends on the position and...

    Autumn and Harmony--A Small Perspective on Private Records

    1. Online Tucao translation...

    Some translations are really annoying as hell. A good translator should hide himself in the work instead of showing off his skills. Watching "Autumn Harmony" yesterday, Miyama said: "おっかさんもいいおっかさんらしい. Jun もなかなかいい子だよ." Translation: Mother is a good mother. Daughter is...

    Naruse and Akihika

    Even after reading a lot of Naruse, and then watching Qiu Rihe, the first reaction was: It takes so long to chirp for such a trivial thing? In the end, Ozu also excused himself to admit that 'people made it complicated, but life itself is very simple! '—yes, especially your upper-middle-class life....
