I am fortunate to have many of Ozu's films. Although I live in U.S., I've always loved the Japanese films! I've often wished that our culture could adapt your graceful customs. 🎞️ 🎥🤍
what an actress Sumiko Kurishima must have been ! almost none of her films can be seen today but when you compare this performance with that of "Nightly Dreams" you get an idea of the range she had. considered to be Japan's very first female movie star, she was also a famous dancer. That Naruse brought her back for "Flowing" (and put her on the movie posters) shows that her reputation had not dimmed twenty years after she retired.

Since the biggest signature in Ozu's last films (specially from "The Flavor of Green Tea over Rice" on out) is the statism of the camera, this long travelling shot is a precious gift for us: 20:38 And a moment of his career to remember forever: 57:55 The last film of the director before go to the war in China, an excellent melodrama about the conflicts between the tradition and modernism

Michiko Kuwano was really good in this. She was in some of Hiroshi Shimizu's films as well. Too bad she passed away at only 31 years old. I like her a lot.

@@reynaldoflores4522 Oh wow, after reading your comment i searched Mei Nagano out of curiosity and there is a noticeable ressemblance but more like a sibling than a double. I think Michiko Kuwano has a duality between a brooding seriousness and a tender elegance. She has a classical nobility beautiful face. I might be crazy but knowing that she lived long ago makes the present time loose importance to me. Even death seems inconsequential.

Good movie. In 1937, the reference to American actor Frederick March is ironic. Ten years later he won the Best Actor academy award for the movie "The Best Years Of Our Lives", which was about our troops returning home from WW II.
17:50 Actually, that math problem might be more easily solved if we convert the fractions into decimals. It's so much easier to work with decimals than fractions. The ratio of the earth's sea to the land area is 3:1. Therefore 1/4 or .25 of the earth is land. 3/4 of this .25 is in the N hem. 3/4 easily converts to .75. Therefore .75 x .25 = .1875, which is the land area in the N hem. Applying a bit of logic, the N hem is 1/2, or .50 of the earth's total area. The sea area of the N hem is therefore .50 - .1875, which is .3125. .3125 /.1875 = 1.667, which when expressed in fractions is 1 2/3. The math and logic are not really complicated, but to be able to perform all those steps without a calculator and using only pencil and paper will take a minute or two. That kid did it almost instantaneously.!!

17:50 That kid is a math wizard. An actual human calculator!!! In just 2 seconds, he solved the problem " so 5/16 ÷ 3/16 is 1 2/3 ". Using only pencil and paper, with no electronic calculator.!! An average person like me would take at least 1 or 2 minutes to perform this manually. Cross-multiplying 5/16 with 3/16 is 80/48, which then converts to 1 32/48. In lowest terms, 1 2/3. But I guess that kid had all that already figured out before he came to visit his buddy.!!

Good luck on your linguistic journey! If you're looking to practice your listening comprehension, I'd suggest watching newer films or more mainstream choices; if I'm not mistaken, they're speaking in a dialect (Kansai, perhaps?) rather than the more textbook Tokyo dialect in this film. I myself was having a hard time picking apart the sentences here, but that's also a matter of audio quality as well. Not to insult your ability to understand, I know I found it much easier when I first started watching content in Japanese. If you're still interested in watching films featuring different dialects later, there's been much more televised dramas recently that incorporate regional dialects for a beautiful sense of setting and character.

Smoking and drinking aren't western habits, they're universal, the Japanese have their own liquor and people smoked tobacco and other stuff much before westernization. It's just changed forms.
@goognamgoognw66374 жыл бұрын
Mark, i agree it's frightening how much the director made her chain smoke. And NC i disagree with you. Maybe you need to study the history of "the roaring twenties" which was all about liquor during the prohibition which ended in 1930 with people drinking even more. All this came to Japan with some lag. This chain smoking mannerism and getting smashed with hard liquor was totally bad western influence. Japan had an inferiority complex but was catching very fast and the culture was to copy even the vices of the day.
