An emotionally touching film, with amazing cinematography, great performances and a poignant story about the importance of cherishing every single moment of life.
The original title of the film is Tôkyô Monogatari.
should have called this tokyo snooze
This is so incredibly boring and although that might make sense (because normal everyday life is boring most of the time) it just doesn’t make a very enjoyable movie. Sure, it’s sad and whatnot, but this has nothing really memorable in it. The most memorable thing might be the boringness of it all.
A perfect movie! Really touch me
This one hit me hard–the first classic Japanese movie to really connect with me emotionally. And even this was touch and go at points, largely due to my difficulty in reading the Japanese style of acting. I was able to parse more nuance than usual, I think, and when those subtle bits of characterization hit for me, they were impactful.
What I loved most about this movie was how desperately sad it was, and how accepting it was of that sadness. While there was a critique being made about the destruction of the modern, I also appreciated the film’s appreciation for the beauty to be found in the passage of time and custom. This movie will haunt me for a while.
The movie is from 1953
