I like Kasa Chijo's performance

I really like Kasa Chijo's performance. Very delicate, contains a lot of small movements. In the story, the father wants to match his daughter with his students, so he carefully asks Setsuko Hara. Then Setsuko Hara said that the student is her type, and her father got nervous and was covering it up again. The daughter also said that they went for a bike ride together this afternoon. The father misunderstood that they were a little excited when they shared the same bicycle, and also seemed to be inadvertently expressed sadness-the daughter was about to get married and leave him. Then the daughter said, borrowed another one, and the two went there by bicycle. The father was suddenly disappointed again. The daughter didn't seem to notice what her father meant. Later, the daughter inadvertently said that when the student already had a fiancée, Li Zhizhong slowly stopped chewing, and said in surprise and sudden realization, "Is that so?" , and a little relieved, as if relieved to be able to keep her daughter for a few more days. I watched it many times and found it very touching. A few subtle movements and expressions can contain such complex psychological activities, which made me think again and again. It seems random, but it is actually difficult. Kasa Zhizhong said that Ozu is very strict with performance requirements when filming. When Kasa Chi-joon expressed his father who was thinking while eating, Ozu asked him to slowly slow down the speed of chewing food, move his gaze from the tip of the chopsticks to his hands, and then speak (it seems like this, I can't remember the specifics, let's take a look), which is very harsh.

It turned out that in the Ozu-style family before "Saury no Taste", there was also such a filial, gentle and virtuous beautiful daughter, and then because she was worried that her father would not be taken care of after her marriage, she did not find her sweetheart for a long time. Daozi in "Saury" is more purely to take care of his father's filial piety, while Noriko in "Late Spring" has some love for his father. Ozu knows how to use similar families to explore the possibility of various connections in life and family relationships?

Every place is full of delicacy, whether it is the father and daughter's feelings for each other, or the details of every detail in life, just like grinding tofu, do it carefully and carefully. The simplest, most life-like, stop-motion-scenario textbook, the forerunner of cross-cutting character dialogue. Ozu said, I'm just a tofu seller.

Noriko Somiya: So which type am I?
Shôichi Hattori: Let's see. I'd say you're not the jealous type.
Noriko Somiya: Oh, but I am.
Shôichi Hattori: You sure?
Noriko Somiya: As the saying goes, when I slice pickled radish, it comes out all strung together.
Shôichi Hattori: That's a matter of the relative interaction between you and the knife. There's no logical connection between pickled radish and jealousy, now is there?
Noriko Somiya: So you like pickles strung together?
Shôichi Hattori: At times I wouldn't mind them.

Shôichi Hattori: Young people have changed so much since our day. Take that bride last night. She comes from a good family, yet she plowed into the food and even drank sake. Gobbling up sashimi with that big painted mouth. I was shocked.
Shukichi Somiya: Of course she ate. Food was scarce for so long.
Shôichi Hattori: At my wedding, I was too filled with gratitude to eat a single rice ball.
