The film takes place in suburban Tokyo, and begins with a group of boy students going home. The boys are all attracted to a neighbor's house because they have a television set, where they can watch their favorite sumo wrestling matches. Two of them, Minoru and Isamu, pressure their mother into buying them a television set, but their mother refuses. So they decide on a silence strike against all adults.
Good Morning is director Yasijiro Ozu's (Tokyo Story) second film in color. In this one, he uses more comedy than usual, and it fits in really well with the story. Ozu shows a small community where gossip runs thick and old ladies spreading rumors like wildfire, and on top of it all there's two young boys who creates confusion among the neighbors by not speaking. Nothing too serious plot-wise but still another great film by a fantastic director.
Genre: Drama
