Tokyo Story

살다보니 나 역시 다를 게 없었기에, 인생의 후배이자 경험의 선배인 너에겐 다를 수 있는 기회를

삶이란 다들 그렇게, 점점 그렇게 되는 거예요.

I feel bad giving this movie a low grade when it's so meaningful. It illustrates the post-war in the canvas of an elderly couple and their mostly heartless (and busy) adult children. Japanese society is changing after the war, wives and husbands working while raising their sons, well... But it's not a movie for everyone. It's very slow, like an old person telling a story. My sister hated it and just gave up mid-movie to browse on Instagram until I was done with it. Ozu is a very grand name for Japanese cinema, and I think I will be back to watch something of his again.

일본인들만 만들수 있는 이야기들의 정전이자 정점. 모든 일본영화의 시작은 이 영화가 아닐까? 대화만으로 모든것을 풀어나가는 솜씨는 모든 영화가 본받아야 할 능력이다
