Some great dialogue exchanges

(1955) I Live In Fear (In Japanese with English subtitles) DRAMA/

Co-written and directed by Akira Kurosaw, with the story that involves elder man's already grown up children attempting to take complete control over the fathers factory and assets by accusing him to be mentally incompetent to the courts of Japan, along comes a mediator! The reason for the fathers radical demeanor is the fear of another H-Bomb after the Hiroshima, motivating him to selling the factory started by him, taking his whole family to move with him to Brazil, except that they don't really want to leave! Seeing the elder man in the center of this is like watching an older version of Toshiro Mifune where the character gets over excited over disagreements with the family! Instead of just letting his family go, he becomes obsessed in forcing his already grown up children to come with him! Although never boring, it sometimes feels rather pointless.
