Little happiness

I was a little too greedy. After watching Ozu Yasujiro's two films "Good Morning" and "Mai Autumn" in one go, I clearly knew that Ozu's films were not suitable for swallowing dates like this.
"Good Morning" is all about the trivial things in daily life, the common and unusual relationships within the family and between neighbors, simple and not simple relationships. The children in the family did not wish good morning to their neighbors because of anger, so a woman's suspicion and suspicion aroused some incidents. At the end of the story, the father of the child bought the TV, and the child's anger disappeared and he switched on again. I greeted my neighbors happily and greeted my partner to go to school together. Several women around me started talking together again. At this time, a woman came out to refute the rumors and said that the owner was a good person.
Ozu's films are always like this, containing power in calmness, and full of waves in the subtleties. "Mai Qiu" revolves around the issue of old daughter marrying. The family lives in harmony and harmony. The life is very happy. The only thing that worries the family is that the 28-year-old daughter is still in her boudoir. The daughter is well-behaved and quiet. The family hopes that she can find a good family, the daughter’s boss. I told her a matchmaker and introduced a 42-year-old single man. The daughter found it untrustworthy and the parents felt that the grade wife would make "the daughter is too pitiful." However, the eldest brother was extremely satisfied and wanted to do his best to make it happen. At this moment, the family’s old neighbor wanted the family to move because of his son’s transfer to Mai Qiu. The daughter went to say goodbye. The old woman finally hesitated and asked her if she would marry his family. Unexpectedly, the daughter agreed. The woman’s son was married and had a child. The daughter’s family never expected her daughter to agree to the marriage so recklessly, but the daughter’s heart was decided and the husband was determined to be a suitable and trustworthy husband. people. The family finally accepted it calmly. The classic footage of Ozu’s film appeared on the screen. An old couple sat on a tatami. The father was smoking and looking into the distance in the smoke. His eyes were deep. The old woman put her hands on her knees. With a sigh, a trace of satisfaction was revealed in his calm expression, "This is probably how a happy life is".
"Most happy families are similar in shape, and unfortunate families have their own misfortunes." The stories Ozu tells are between happiness and unhappiness, satisfaction and dissatisfaction. There are not many joyful laughs and chest-beating crying, and there is no exciting, ups and downs storyline, like a river, flowing quietly, Flowing through the open plains, but also through the dry land, the heavy mountains, calm but contains infinite power. Isn’t it the same for ordinary people’s lives? There is no perfect life. After all, great joys, great sorrows, big ups and downs belong to a few people, most people live their lives in silence, peacefully, and there are joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, ups and downs, and ordinary people. His happiness and satisfaction, walking silently and firmly in these trivial happiness and satisfaction.

    8. Although it is a remake of "I was born, but", it can be regarded as a new story, not only because the latter is a silent film. But the brothers in the latter are more hilarious and have more hilarious plots. Nonsense is the lubricant of the world, this line is good.

    Not Ozu Yasujiro's usual style. It's very interesting, how can the adult world understand when I was a child.
