Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })I Was Born, But... (Umarete Wa Mita Keredo) is a 1932 film directed by Yasujiro Ozu.Keiji and Ryoichi are brothers of elementary school age. Their father, Kennosuke, has moved the family to a new home in a rather rustic Tokyo suburb. The boys have trouble adjusting, and soon run afoul of a gang of bullies. Wishing to avoid getting beat up, they start skipping school, but they're caught when their father has a chance encounter with their teacher.Eventually, with the help of an older teenaged boy, Keiji and Ryoichi not only get revenge on Kamekichi, the head bully, they depose him and become leaders of the gang. Then in the last third of the movie the story goes in a new direction as a party at Kennosuke's boss's house leads the boys to discover some troubling truths about their father.I Was Born, But... is a silent film; silent movie production in Japan continued for most of the 1930s alongside talking films. Ozu's 1959 color-and-sound film Good Morning is a loose remake of this film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Butt-Monkey: The brothers are startled when they see the boss's home movies, and learn that their father is something of a Butt-Monkey at the office, continually making goofy faces on demand for the boss's amusement.

Early Installment Weirdness: Like with many other silent Ozu films, this one lacks the distinctive style he evolved in post-war years, with a lot of camera panning as opposed to the almost always stationary camera of his later films, and none of the shot-reverse shot dialogue staging of his later works.
