Tokyo Story by Yasujiro Ozu.

it's been a while since i watched a movie that made me feel something the way that movie did. i'm not really sure how to talk about it without sounding a bit like a pretentious film snob. i'll do my best, but bear with me here.

basically, Ozu's style of film-making is very different from a lot of the other movies i tend to watch. it feels like he's picking you up and putting you into his world, as a silent observer. he doesn't mind making you sit down and watch as some mundane things happen. (e.g., ships passing by, people getting ready to leave the house, etc.) i think this makes it much easier to feel connected to not just the characters, but also the world they find themselves in. and it was honestly such a nice change of pace from the "always on" kind of movies that i've been watching recently. (but i still like those too, it's just nice to see something different every once in a while.)

and i think this kind film-making really works for the story he's trying to tell. i feel like it helped me connect and empathize with the characters in a way i wouldn't be able to otherwise. i'd solidly recommend the movie to anybody who might be interested in something like that.

A sad choice, indeed
