(1932) I Was Born, But.../ Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo
SILENT DRAMA/ COMEDY
Co-written and directed by Yasujirô Ozu that has a family moving into the neighborhood. The family consists of a father, Yoshi (Tatsuo Saitô); his wife, Haha (Mitsuko Yoshikawa) and their two young boys of Ryoichi (Hideo Sugawara) slightly older boy and Kenji (Tomio Aoki). As they are beginning to adjust viewers at first find that Yoshi's two sons are clashing with the new kids at the neighborhood. Yoshi's boss, Juuyaku Iwasaki (Takeshi Sakamoto) lives around the block with his wife, Fujin (Teruyo Hayami) and their young son Taro (Seiichi Kato) who is about the same age as Yoshi's kids.
This is my second viewing watching it on TCM, and although the times have changed both the situations the kids emotions and the parents are just as relevant now as they were back then. Where you have the lower employees attempting to impress top executives, with the difference is that in this film, the kids are involved.
