Tokyo Story is a film about families and for that reason could have been a horror film . After all , what are we all facing at the end of life ? Who might we need to help us ?
At the moment , you may not be at that stage so you may feel you can forget about how you treat people in your life .
This film may make you reassess ( temporarily ) then go back to your normal way of living .
If it makes you think , then it has fulfilled its purpose .
Film critics love to get intellectual about very simple things -a sort of backward way to look at things . They love this film . Watch it and see something you've missed .
