The Representation of Linearity on Industrialization in Modern Films : Some Remarks on Ozu Yasujiro's Films in 1940s
Key Words : line,Ozu Yasziro,industrialization,Japanese films,geometric line,rigid linearity
Abstract
This article has a thema of the rigid line on the film of Ozu Yasziro who has been re-evaluated by capturing the message about Industrialization for Japan with film aesthetics. To Ozu, Film is extremely the space of Geometric line for film aesthetics. Therefore, these facts prove that Yasujirō Ozu has wanted to build the value of the 'order'. The order signifies the hierarchy through symmetry and proportion. When he fixed the camera, these things can do enough to paly a role which makes us obey the rules. These facts exquisitely caused huge synergies by correspondence with postwar Japan. In his films, to imply vertical and horizontal lines was eligible for injecting 'worthy of order' or 'worthy of repeating'. Also, the views like the steel frame structures and a factory chimney and Japanese style house show not just a landscape but the ideology of rigid industrialization. In my opinion, his films not only represent everyday but also suggest to obey the rules as structure of Industrial architecture.
