5.0 out of 5 stars Silent Japanese Film??? I'm kidding, right? Jun 23 2001
By Little Dorrit
Format:VHS Tape
No Kidding, if you have any sense of humour you'll love this film. Now I am an admitted Ozu film lover, which means I find his unique cinematography of a camera that isn't darting all over the place and shots at low levels that make you feel like you are standing (or sitting) there watching what is going on, a very enjoyable way of viewing a film.

I also love his simple stories that everyone can relate to, his people are just like our friends, neighbors and families, some of them are sweet, some are stinkers, and many are just doing their best to cope with every day's challenges in life.

But a silent Ozu? I was a little wary, but I did put it on my wishlist, and I'm so glad I did and that one of my sweet relations gave it to me for my birthday, because it is one of Ozu's best! Ozu's films are always full of gentle and sometimes silly fun and this one did not disappoint. The two brothers are real characters and along with the kids they meet up with in their new neighborhood, it really was like watching a Japanese version of the Little Rascals. Did you know eating raw sparrow's eggs will make you strong?

It soon appears that they get their sense of humour from their father, though as usually happens, they are not as appreciative of it in him. And as with all Ozu films, we are left with the feeling that we are all pretty much the same no matter where we come from or even when we lived and we find a good deal of comfort in knowing that as the world changes we can still appreciate the things that never do. You'll hate yourself if you don't see it!

5.0 out of 5 stars SilentOzuGreat Movie Aug 28 2012
By rhoeda
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love the Silent Ozu Three Comedies Set that I purchased a while back. I've enjoyed them very much. I think this has started me on a new hobby --collecting DVD's that I know I will watch over and over again.
I laughed at the antics of the two brothers in "I Was Born But...", and "Passing Fancy" was even funnier.
I don't know why but I strain to "hear" these silent movies in hopes of not missing anything said.
Because these are silent movies , I think I try harder to figure out just what is going on in the scenes.
I enjoy the cultural background scenery in his movies also as it gives me a glimpse of an era gone by.
All-in-all I think this is an enriching experience that sheds light on an earlier culture that is now lost in time, but now captured in the DVD medium.
Something to be treasured.
Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best films ever made Mar 8 2001
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
This is simply one one of the finest films ever made. This is the kind of film that reminds you of what a powerful and touching medium film can be (something that is easy to forget after watching too many mediocre films). I Was Born But is both funny and touching, it features some of the finest acting and direction I have ever seen. You really have no idea how good film can be until you have seen this movie.
