What did Ozu forget?

(1937) What did the Lady Forget?
Well, what did the lady forget? This was an interesting film about the relationships between men and women in Japan, with the young niece named Setsuko spicing things up(no not that Setsuko). At times I thought that this film was going to be about a rebelious teenager, but she turned out not to be so bad, and Ozu ended up seemingly making her the wisest of the bunch, or atleast thats how he tries to let her off as. In reality all three of the main character's were wrong. Komiya, was wrong for being so weak in the first place, and alternately wrong for slapping his wife, as well as being wrong in lying to her and taking the side of his niece. The wife was just wrong. She's the type who is never happy, and only gets any pleasure out of ruling over others, especially her weak husband. setsuko was just a bad girl. Sure she is cute, very cute, but she can be very manipulative, and it seems that everyone is blind to that, even her auntie. In the end this family is very disfunctional, and none of the main characters have any moral high-ground, and that would be okay, if Ozu didn't end the picture in a sort of 'happily ever after' kind of way. Everything else in the picture was outstanding, but the story itself seems to be wrongheaded. There is humor in this film, but I would never classify it as a comedy and let it get off for being a 'light' film, because even with Ozu, the humor is still rather formal.

I suppose this may be the weakest Ozu that I have seen yet, which isn't saying much, because I have yet to see a bad film by Ozu. Ozu always hits line drives, no homers, but no grounders either.
