The deepest love is that you are happier than me

It doesn't take a lot of brains to read a story, but Ozu takes a lot of thought.

Lenses are the best language. There is a scene where Zhou Ji comes home and is greeted by Noriko. In that smooth and natural life scene, the affectionate relationship between father and daughter is fully revealed. In the other scene, Zhou Ji and Noriko go to see the Noh drama, which takes a lot of space. I was thinking Noh was tedious and boring, but I came across my father's "successor". So Noriko turned her head, looked at it, lowered her eyebrows, pondered, and the ups and downs in her heart were self-evident...

Originally, what I fell in love with was the beauty of Noriko (should be said to be the original Setsuko). But that bright and pure smile gradually became sad. Originally, I didn't understand Zhou Ji. He was reticent, most often answering "yes", but gave Noriko a long understanding of happiness. Looking at the lonely silhouette on the rattan chair, I realized that the deepest love is that you are happier than me.

Watching Ozu's movies, time is slowly flowing, emotions are flowing quietly, water drops and rocks wear~

    Ozu, who has never been married and has been a mother-in-law, expresses the meaning of "filial piety" and "happiness" in the relationship between father and daughter. Ozu's films are always full of filial piety, and often discuss the concept of marriage, while Ozu himself is a workaholic. This is his "spirit of sacrifice". PS The Hara Setsuko laughing is really good-looking, Kasa Zhizhong's shyness, and Sugimura Haruko's matchmaker temperament~

    I still can't drink this bowl of patriarchal sour water and boil it into delicious miso...
