I watched this movie today. It was ok, but not great. The climax came too slow and the ending was too flat.

Thanks for letting me know about the higher-resolution version in English subtitles.
I may try to watch the similar one about a mother killing her mixed son born after the war, in order to save her own career.
The Criterion channel app has this movie, in English subtitles. I don't like Chinese dubbed into the original sound track, it feels weird. So I'd rather watch this higher resolution version than the Chinese translated one from Youtube, which is free. Criterion requires a paid subscription, 14 days free trial.

It's a famous movie in the 80s. But I've never watched it. I think because I was too young. I watched some of them in the 90s and 2000s, like the one about a mother killing her mixed son born after the war, in order to save her own career.
Another one is about a family that has owned large wealth but also harbored dark behind-the-scenes stories: the father-in-law fathered a son by forcing into the daughter-in-law while she's in a bath. Eventually the disgraced bastard son committed suicide in the woods, before he succeeded the family steel factory.
The first two stories are very similar in themes: when family and career are in a clash course, the protagonist chooses murder. Thus ends his/her own path.
