Late Autumn	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Late Autumn is a 1960 film from Japan, directed by Yasujiro Ozu.Akiko Miwa (Setsuko Hara) is a middle-aged widow with a 24-year-old daughter, Ayako. At a memorial service for her late husband Mr. Miwa, three of Mr. Miwa's old college buddies—Taguchi, Hirayama, and Mamiya—drink sake and reminisce. The conversation turns to the two women, as the three men, all of whom wooed Akiko years ago before Miwa won her, remark admiringly how attractive she still is in middle age. From there the discussion goes to the daughter, as the three men note how odd it is that Ayako still lives with her mother and hasn't married yet. They resolve to match her up. Eventually they realize that Ayako is reluctant to leave her mother living alone, so they resolve to marry her off as well. And who better to marry Akiko than one of them, namely Mr. Hirayama, himself a widower?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })None of the three men stop to consider that they're sticking their noses into someone else's business. Neither do they consider whether or not Ayako wants to get married; as it happens she doesn't, preferring to stay home and take care of her mom. And while Akiko is willing to let her daughter go off on her own, she also has no interest in getting married.Based on the book of the same name by Ton Satomi, and bears similarity Ozu's earlier 1949 film, Late Spring, which also starred Setsuko Hara.

Late Autumn / int_1d7d1b93	comment	Remake Cameo: Chishū Ryu appeared in almost every film Ozu ever made. In Late Spring he plays the parent who is reluctant to let his daughter go. In this movie he has a smaller role as Akiko's uncle. And a Remake Starring Role for Hara, who played the daughter getting married off against her will in the 1949 film, but in this one plays the parent.

Late Autumn / int_34889673	comment	Gender Flip: The meddling aunt that engineers the daughter's marriage in the 1949 film is turned into three middle-aged men in this version. And the role of the father gets turned into a mother, so Hara could play the part.

Late Autumn / int_40cc0c7e	type	Bittersweet Ending
Late Autumn / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: The 1949 film is a grim, sad Downer Ending, with the daughter strong-armed into an Arranged Marriage with a man she barely knows, while her father is left in despair. This film lightens that ending to an extent by making Goto, the man Ayako marries, someone she actually likes and was dating on her own even before the three men muddled. Akiko's wan smile at the end of this film contrast with the father's mask of grief at the end of the previous film.

Mrs. Taguchi is smiling and showing Japanese Politeness as she calls her husband a liar for denying his old attraction to Akiko. In that same conversation she muses about how after being married for long enough people "just give up."
