Movie: Good Morning (1959)
Film Synopsis:
A lighthearted take on director Yasujiro Ozus timeless theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, Good Morning tells the story of two boys who stop talking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set. Ozu weaves a wealth of subtle jokes through his family portraits as richly as his dramatic films, mocking the foibles of the adult world through the eyes of his child protagonists. Shot in stunning color and set in a Tokyo suburb where housewives gossip about the neighbors new washing machine and unemployed husbands seek work as door-to-door salesmen, this charming comedy improves on Ozus own silent classic, I Was Born, But. . . to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan.
