該片為小津安二郎執導的第一部有聲電影。講述了一個尋常家庭的故事：信州農村的母親為了讓唯一的兒子能在東京上大學，毅然賣了田地去工地當小工。兒子畢業後，母親首次前往東京探望兒子，滿以為兒子早已成家立業，出人頭地。誰知兒子只是一位貧窮的夜校教師，艱辛的跟妻子同住在破舊不堪的平民區租房裡，為了帶母親到東京四處看看，還不得不向同事借錢。對於唯一的兒子操勞了一生的母親來說，這時的失望與傷悲幾乎讓她器出來，而且因為無法依靠兒子，後半生還得不停的工作……
Ozu's first talkie is an early masterpiece that deals with his usual themes of family and the parent-child relationship. Ozu was one of the latest directors to change from silent to sound films. He uses the sound system developed by his cinematographer Mohara Hides to striking effect. The story examines the motherly love of a peasant who gives up everything so that her son can have education in Tokyo. Ten years later, she pays her son a visit in Tokyo believing that he has become a successful person. However, upon arrival, she finds that he is far from being successful. In fact, he is working as a teacher in an evening school and lives with his wife in poverty.

Great Expectations, Ozu-style

Director Ozu Yasujiro's "The Only Son" tells of a mother who struggles in a nightmarish factory job in order to earn money to send her son to high school. Years go by, the son has moved to Tokyo, and the mother comes to visit. Unbeknownst to her, the son has married, has an infant child, lives in a dumpy industrial wasteland, and has managed to attain only a low-paying job as a night school geometry teacher. The son is ashamed of his lack of success; his mother is appalled at his defeatist attitude. She wonders whether all of her sacrifices have been in vain. Somehow, out of this dark setting, Ozu manages to find a ray of hope, but I'm not sure even he believed in it. This was Ozu's first talkie and perhaps his most manipulative and melodramatic film. Both the sound and picture quality of this print are inconsistent. Ozu fans will want to see this milestone in the director's career. |
