The Taste of Late Spring and Autumn SauryReview

Late spring is like a root-seeking formula, with a simple and transparent beauty, and Hou Hsiao-hsien also said that the movie likes late spring the most, because it is very transparent. The taste of saury is like the Newton-Raphson iteration method, which gives a more complex solution of family relationships, but it is not as beautiful as an accurate solution. At that time, I went to the French League to see 35 glasses of rum, paying tribute to Ozu's works, so I made up for Ozu's taste of late spring and autumn saury. Late Spring and Saury Flavor are sister chapters. Late Spring is 49 years old and Autumn Saury Flavor is 62 years old. The taste of late spring and autumn saury are both stories about marrying a daughter. The difference is that late spring is more of a daughter's perspective. The father thinks that the daughter is old enough to marry, and the daughter is very attached to her father so she does not want to get married. The taste of saury is more from the father's point of view. Seeing that the teacher's daughter did not get married and ended up with a miserable result, he wanted to marry her, but the reason why her daughter did not want to marry was because of her sense of responsibility as the only woman in the family after her mother's death. , to take care of father and brother and brother. The themes of many of Ozu's works are about the separation of the family of origin, the marriage of the daughter, and the marriage of the son. In fact, people have gradually separated from the family of origin since college, and they are farther away and go home less often It's just that the identity still belongs to the original family, and the identity is independent after knowing that they are married. There is a lot of sadness in it, even if Zeng Gong Zhouji returned home lonely and endured tears and peeled the apple peeling, it would be a little sad. Satomi said that this is too catering to the public, and it is too popular. At the end of the taste of saury, the father watched people go to Lou Kong's daughter's boudoir, and the feeling of loneliness was more subtle. However, I think late spring is better. It may be combined with the sea in Kamakura at the end. It gives people a feeling of endless aftertaste. , and a long shot of Dawn of Love Owl dancing at the end. Regarding Ozu's low-camera shooting, Ozu's lens is generally placed on the ground and fixed, so there will be a kind of static beauty, and the capture of people's expressions and movements is more detailed, there is movement in stillness, and it will not be as static as stagnant water. So I think late spring blends best with this style. Regarding the taste of saury, in fact, there is no saury in the whole film, and only conger eel is eaten. The reason why it is named the taste of saury is still an obsession of Ozu. "I think of the smell of saury, the fallen cherry blossoms are like broken cloth, and the sake has the bitter taste of yellow lotus." It was the time of the mother's mourning, and Ozu also passed away the following year. The smell of saury can be said to be a very sad movie. In the end, the original Setsuko is really beautiful, and when she smiles, she looks really good.

    My friend cried after watching this movie. I didn't cry because he watched Ozu less and I watched more. The feeling that I want to cry is usually the basic feeling of watching Ozu movies, but if I watch too much, crying is the past tense.

    1. Milestones in various senses: the joining of Noda Takao, the opening of Hara Setsuko, the beginning of the series of married women, the real establishment of the status of Master Ozu. 2. In fact, there is a hidden continuity in the theme of the film before and after the war with Ozu. It is both a variation of "While My Father Lives" (two admonitions for children who want to live with their fathers); and another expression of the reconciliation theme of "The Hen in the Wind": women traumatized by war ( Don't ignore the detail that Noriko was ill from forced labor during the war!) Eventually accepted the discipline of patriarchal/paternal power and entered a new life. The design of the married daughter cleverly hides these controversial themes, making the expression gentle and more human. 3. In addition to the sound and picture coordination, it is slightly rough, and the form has been perfected. As Jia Zhangke and Hou Hsiao-hsien's favorite film of Xiaojin, it makes sense. The script is closely matched, the scheduling is light, and the empty mirror reaches the realm of mystery. Apples, waves, and the teapot in front of the window lattice that night. 4. Bamboo Forest has verified the hidden connection between Kiko's image and the Noh drama "Du Ruo" in the film. Although it is a bit far-fetched, it is very interesting. Let's talk about it.
