"An Adult's Picture Book View — I Was Born, But...") is a 1932 black-and-white Japanese silent comedy film directed by Yasujirō Ozu.

[4] The film's story centers on two young brothers whose faith in their father, an office worker, is shaken by what they perceive as his kowtowing to the boss.

The Yoshi family has just moved to the Tokyo suburbs, close to where the father Kennosuke's direct boss, Iwasaki, is staying.

As Kennosuke takes a convenient car ride to work, the brothers walk to school with Taro and the rest of the gang.

Scott wrote: "Everything in this film is utterly believable, so much so that at times it seems almost anecdotal, a sweet little anthology of kids doing the darnedest things.

[11] The film is also available as part of The Criterion Collection's Eclipse series DVD box set "Silent Ozu: Three Family Comedies".

[2] In 2017, The Criterion Collection's DVD and Blu-ray reissues of Good Morning included a remastered edition of the film, complete with new musical score.
