Blossay Comment Response:

Thanks to Valerie, Vivian, and Adam

Thank you to Valerie, Vivian, and Adam for all commenting on my blog post. As I read the feedback, it makes me quite happy that my interpretation of the screenshot I chose was well received. There were no questions about my post or anything I discussed, however a lot was mentioned about the power line scene which I mentioned briefly in the second paragraph. Both Valerie and Adam mentioned their love for the shot themselves alongside myself, but also agreed with my decision to analyze an alternate scene instead. I find it very interesting that the class as a whole seemed to be enamored with this scene just as much as I was. Another thing that was rather well received was my mentioning of the intimacy in the scene and the abundance of familial feelings that were expressed. Mentioning the struggles of parenthood once more, I think Ozu just does a very good job of depicting family life and all its facets, both good and bad. This can be seen in Tokyo Story as well, and I’m glad we went more into detail about it in class. In any case, there wasn’t really much to write in response to the comments on my blog since most of it was just praise for my review and interpretation! So thanks again to my commentators and hope to hear from you all again on the next blossay.
