For my project I am looking into the meaning and purpose behind the characters of Yasujirō Ozu’s films. In particular I am interested in the primiary characters of Tokyo Story, Early Spring, Late Summer and two other films (to be determined based on what I have access to). Ozu directed both silent and auditory films, and I am interested in doing a comparsion between the traits, conduct, and visual presentation of these characters as shown in two rather differing environments. I also want to see the character development through the ages, as his films span from the 1920’s to the 1960’s. Ozu is one of Japan’s most profound and beloved directors/screen writters and I hope to see his perspective of Japan through his most profound works.
