About Good Morning

A lighthearted take on director Yasujir Ozus recurring theme of intergenerational relationships, Good Morning centers on two young boys who cease talking in protest after their parents deny them a television. Ozu subtly weaves gags through a rich family portrait, satirizing the adult world via his child protagonists perspectives. Shot in vibrant color in suburban Tokyo, where housewives gossip about new appliances and unemployed men seek door-to-door sales jobs, this charming comedy reworks Ozus silent film I Was Born, But . . . to gently critique consumerism in postwar Japan. It's a must-see for those who appreciate nuanced storytelling and thoughtful social commentary.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Bypass Geo-Restrictions: Many streaming services are geographically restricted. If you’re traveling outside the U.S., a VPN can make it appear as if you’re still in the country, giving you access to your subscriptions.
- Avoid ISP Throttling: Your internet provider might slow down your connection during high-bandwidth activities like streaming. A VPN encrypts your activity, preventing your ISP from throttling your speeds and ensuring a smooth, buffer-free experience.
- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.

How to get started with ExpressVPN:

- Sign Up: Purchase an ExpressVPN subscription.
