When an old couple go to visit their children in the big city, they get little attention of their busy children.
Of all the family-related movies that Ozu did, this is the that stood out of them all, without a doubt (even though most of them are great and tough to pick one out). Ozu great grip on the drama in his film is remarkably great here in Tokyo Story. Few directors have had the genius of do it as Ozu. The family drama form of Tokyo Story is great, but not only because of great direction, but also because of great acting and a great script. Tokyo Story deals with something that was not familiyar with the 1950's cinema, and certainly not Hollywood at that time. But Japanese cinema was very different. The dealing with family and family problems like Ozu does in Tokyo Twilight and here in Tokyo Story are very like, dealing with disappointment of children and family is very strong. But also dealing with getting old and have to accept our fate. A true masterpiece.

A spoilt brat and a arrogant woman, Scarlet and a man of high standard in the society starts a romance, along with the horror of the American civil war, threatens everything they believed it. Based on masterful novel by Margaret Mitchell, a awesome tale of love, war and harshness in this masterpiece, even though some might find it too long, lovers of cinema will not, because they will love every minute of it. Vivien Leigh & Clark Gable are absolutely marvelous as the lovers during the war, and don't miss Hattie McDaniel masterful performance in this classic masterpiece. Winner of 8 Academy Oscar, including best picture.
Intolerance tells a story which happens throughout history, in the mankind, all dealing with all kinds of Intolerance. D. W. Griffith vision not so much different like in ''The Birth of a Nation'' is stunning, to tell a story of poverty and poorness is always something that's difficult to do, especially during the silent era. But with Lillian Gish in the lead and a stunning script by Griffith, it becomes one of the greatest film in American cinema history. A true masterpiece.
