Wow! What an interesting project, remakes of early silent movies by Ozu Yasujiro. He is one of my favourite Japanese…
I completely agree! He is one of the finest, and the most quintessential Japanese directors.. his films are beautifully rooted in Japanese tradition and culture, can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life and remain so relevant even today.
please recomend me some jdrama that has similar vibes with silent (the visual)
If you're talking about cinematography only, these are some stunning dramas (amongst the many) that you can try -
Iribito Watashi no Otto wa Reitouko ni Nemutte Iru Kimi Ga Kokoro Wo Kuretekara Ukiwa: Tomodachi Ijo, Furin Miman Unmet Kaidan Botan Doro: Beauty & Fear Omameda Towako to Sannin no Motootto First Love: Hatuskoi Alice in Borderland
She was 16! Blossoming fresh from youth to youngster
She never looked as beautiful as she did in this film, and I've seen quite a number of her works when she was young. It's probably also to do with the way Obayashi captured her.
Episode 7 ramblings as I watch the episodeNarita Ryo
Action or behaviour is part of personality, but it is just 1 aspect of personality. You can change your behaviour without altering your personality, though if you do it long enough that may bring changes on other aspects that affect your personality such as cognition, emotions etc
Interesting point on Shiro.. the way I saw it, Mitsuki changed her approach towards Shiro by openly communicating, admitting her faults and forcing Shiro to come out of his comfort zone to talk.. that gave Shiro the push to examine his own faults / his own passiveness, and so he started making more effort towards his son because he probably realized that he wants to keep this relationship. I think his behaviour changed, not his personality. We don't know how that would fare in the long term and in his relationship with Mitsuki, because there is an aggression to his personality that was never quite addressed. I didn't really see a different person in Shiro at the end. I just saw a better parent. For me, the takeaway from their relationship wasn't so much about "altering your personality" but more of communicating and looking within to see not just your partner's faults, but your own.
Regarding Otoyan I used the words "appear distant" because I don't think he was actually distant emotionally. He would physically distance himself to give space and more time to think (case in point when he left because he was scared that if they continue thinking it would end badly) but emotionally he was present. He wasn't detached. And because he kept placing that space, I empathized with Ichiko who remained present waiting. And it isn't just about him leaving home, but him engaging in an affair with Mitsuki for over a year while Ichiko watched that day in, day out. Shiro is the person I would call as distant / detached.

She's very much alive, and one of her dramas just finished airing.

He makes the most stunningly shot and relatable films.
