His attention to detail and ability to combine heavy topics with light-hearted humor make his works just as enjoyable to audiences today as when they were first released (although we may need to overlook some gender stereotypes present in the culture at his time).<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --> Before Ozu was a director, he got his start by working as a camera operator. His experience with the camera shows through, showcasing Ozu&#8217;s low camera, symbolic framing, permanently stationary position, and overall excellent cinematography. Most filmmakers keep the camera on one side of an imaginary line through their set to orient the viewer and ensure that the action is always moving the same direction. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/person\/1285374%7C158311\/Yasujiro-Ozu\/#overview\">According to TCM<\/a>, Ozu famously broke this rule often and provided viewers with a 360 degree view of the scene instead. Even though his creative dedication resulted in a lot of frustrated actors and prop masters, the great cinematography created an entirely new style of filmmaking. As the great <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/great-movie-floating-weeds-1959\">Roger Ebert said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n Sooner or later, everyone who loves <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> comes to Ozu. He is the quietest and gentlest of directors, the most humanistic, the most serene. But the emotions that flow through his films are strong and deep, because they reflect the things we care about the most: Parents and children, marriage or a life lived alone, illness and death, and taking care of one another.\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --> A slew of Ozu films have come to HBO Max this May <em>\u2014<\/em> <em>An Autumn Afternoon, Early Spring, Early Summer, The End of Summer, Equinox Flower, Floating Weeds, Good Morning,<\/em> and <em>Tokyo Twilight<\/em>.

This film is no exception. By focusing on the perspective of the two brothers, there are plenty of opportunities for all kinds of jokes about the carefree youth. Yet, the director couldn&#8217;t help but stumble into a more serious social commentary about Japan&#8217;s social structure and children becoming aware of adult struggles. The blend between the light-hearted humor and thought-provoking themes makes this film popular even today.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"an-autumn-afternoon\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_An_Autumn_Afternoon\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">1 <\/span> An Autumn Afternoon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Two-characters-in-An-Autumn-Afternoon-having-a-conversation-in-a-kitchen.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Shochiku&quot;\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Two-characters-in-An-Autumn-Afternoon-having-a-conversation-in-a-kitchen.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Two-characters-in-An-Autumn-Afternoon-having-a-conversation-in-a-kitchen.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Two-characters-in-An-Autumn-Afternoon-having-a-conversation-in-a-kitchen.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Two-characters-in-An-Autumn-Afternoon-having-a-conversation-in-a-kitchen.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Two characters in An Autumn Afternoon having a conversation in a kitchen\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Two-characters-in-An-Autumn-Afternoon-having-a-conversation-in-a-kitchen.jpg\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Shochiku<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>  About 30 years after he started directing, Ozu created his last film, <strong><em>An Autumn Afternoon<\/em><\/strong>. It still stands as a masterpiece that incorporates some of the best of Ozu&#8217;s style. Perhaps no other movie showcases Ozu&#8217;s unique 360 degree cinematography like this one does with its layers of depth and constantly changing angles.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #7! --> In this film, a single dad decides to arrange a marriage for his daughter (she has stayed single for a long time to take care of her father). The plot is very similar to<em> Late Spring,<\/em> but with different characters, a beautiful color palette, and a different and much more melancholic tone. Although father-child relationships are common in Ozu&#8217;s films, this is one of the strongest. The sorrowful acceptance of the father&#8217;s fate speaks to the sad resignation that people in a vast variety of circumstances can relate to, and the film remains agruably Ozu&#8217;s most underrated.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0Buf19uA7aesQ2d64GfYSLVeQKwmlvtjt2b9qbFuR6Mjpg.webp?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0Buf19uA7aesQ2d64GfYSLVeQKwmlvtjt2b9qbFuR6Mjpg.webp?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Girl and boy look at each other in passing.\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Best Japanese Movies of the 2010s, Ranked\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61ccfe6fda7a7-IMG_1126 copy 2.jpg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Evadne Hendrix<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(42 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            More<br \/>\n                    From Evadne Hendrix\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below the author! --><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
