Thoughts on 'Tokyo Story'

'TOKYO STORY' remarkably displays a very compelling film story line by the sleekly masterful Japanese director Ozu Yasujiro.  This movie portrays the inner weirdness going on in a somewhat odd family.  The old folks go on a visit to their children and grandchildren and they are surprised for they find a considerable amount of selfishness and ungrateful thinking.  The dialectic Ozu-san perpetrates seems to skillfully weave a tale of the brazen ups and downs of contemporary family life.  This is not an elementary school film...there amounts to a high degree of depth here.  One can become mesmerized by this august, bold saga.
