Late Spring is the one about parents and adult children where Chishu Ryu goes "mmmmmm." right?

the multiple-adult-children film is Tokyo Story. in this film there is only one adult child.

I love the storyline that, as the widower Shukichi he agrees to marry Mrs. Miwa to make his daughter Noriko realize she has to let go, as much as she loves him and is comfortable staying at home, and as much as he wants her to stay. In the end so devoted to him that she is willing to marry to make him happy

*she is so devoted...

10/10

the final moments when she actually does marry and he realizes he is alone forever is kind of heartbreaking
