As Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece, "Late Spring" is a very simple story on the surface. Kiko, played by Setsuko Hara, has been reluctant to marry at the age of 27 and wants to take care of the widower's father, played by Kasa Tomojo, who taught and lied all the time. After saying that Noriko would remarry after marriage, Noriko married with peace of mind. But the actual truth is hidden in the lies. The married husband Hattori, whom Noriko secretly loves, and the ambiguity between Lingzi and his father are taboos of the secular moral standards. Noriko said that it was indecent for his uncle to remarry. The evaluation of , disgusting, etc. is no less than a moral criticism of social ethics at that time, and this is exactly the case. Noriko's lie on the grounds of taking care of her father, the lie of her father's remarriage, but the ambiguous relationship with Lingzi, is wandering in the illusion of self-deception , when the so-called false is true, it is also false, but that's it. This is a very oriental emotional description. The delicate brushwork not only portrays the father-daughter relationship deeply and deeply, but also sculpts the repression and transfer, pouring and concealment of emotions in a meticulous manner.

The same theme as the saury, less the sadness of late autumn, a stack of magazines slipping down from the books, the emotional ups and downs expressed in this way are quite oriental and subtle, and Ozu's films can always be seen with peace of mind, plain but not dull. (In addition, the heroine looks very strange when she laughs, she is not smiling but not smiling...)

In fact, Hara Setsuko was never married, so she was known as "eternal daughter", "eternal virgin", "eternal saint"... In 1963, Hara Setsuko, who was in the prime of her career, suddenly announced her retirement and retired to Ozu. The scene that appeared in the movie many times - Kamakura, was also the year of the death of director Yasujiro Ozu, and he returned to his real name and lived in recluse, no longer involved in the film industry.

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.
