a great movie, it had truly stunning visuals but i do have to add...

what a crap excuse for a father, her father was emotionally distant and probably didnt make much difference when he was there. He slapped her because she didn't have her shoes on and didn't allow her to star in a play, makes me feel bad for all of them (even that bratty typical sister.)

By today's standards yeah, but by 60s and 70s father standards he's average to above average.

I thought the same way, it was really interesting to see a Japanese family structure at that time and the patriarchal dominance of the father figure--silent yet authoritative, and no one, not even the grandmother, can speak back to what he wanted which is really gross lol. Definitely glad Japanese women have more autonomy than during the era of this movie.
