Product Information
導演︰小津安二郎
Director: Ozu Yasujiro
此片乃小津的首部有聲電影，同樣以處理倫理及兩代關係為主，劇情簡單精煉，導演手法純熟，小津雖然較後期才能接受有聲電影，但一出手便已風格盡現，人物與背景的聲音配合混然天成，盡顯大師風範。故事發生於日本鄉間，母親於螺絲工場內含辛茹苦地工作，並把獨生子送到東京寄宿學校唸書。一轉眼已是十年光景，母親首次親往東京探望兒子，滿以為兒子早已成家立室，出人頭地。誰知兒子只是位貧窮的夜校教師，艱辛地跟妻子一同住在破舊不堪的屋子內，母親失望又無奈。小津對兩代的感情描寫尤其深刻，故事裡更滲透出對時代及環境的透徹思考。
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 Hideo 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. |
