Now I need to rewatch that. I’ve been meaning to anyway now that I’ve listened to/watched the musical a bunch of times, but now I really need to.
Early Summer (1951)
Director: Yasujiro Ozu
Cast: Chikage Awajima, Setsuko Hara
Yasujiro Ozu’s typical family drama. A story of romance, arranged marriages and family life in post-war Tokyo.
The Go scene at 48:25 has the head of the household, a doctor, playing Go with a friend, talking, smoking and drinking, on a Sunday in, of course, early summer. The actors seated with the goban on a table and a close up of the player with his back to the camera shows he holds the white stones properly whereas the other does not. At one point they discuss if a stone has moved and the doctor says he has left his house as it is full of children (playing with an electric train set).

But I did want to watch Knives Out, @Nghtstalker, if only for the Go. It’s just that there was only that fancy mall around and I’m not keen on the place.
Baaa referred to the photos from Reply 1988…
if you watch the series you will get it… : )
I was looking at that post when I posted Baaaa. But it must have been somewhere else on the page ooops sorry.

No, actually, I mistook you for someone completely different. I was really sleepy (and grew up thinking of baaah as mééé). 😋

fang yuan (the main character of this manhua) is often shown playing go as a metaphor for the mental conflict between him and other characters. Source: Reverend insanity (Novel) Gu master (manga)
I highly suggest the novel!

Russian (not very good) detective TV show. Episode with go premiered yesterday. It seems go is only in the beginning, and for the best. While federation consultants can set up a realistic position and show what to play, you can’t teach actors place stones naturally

I think part of the reason could be that, as a society, it’s not really a problem if someone has unrealistic expectations/ misleading information about how to murder someone. I mean, it wouldn’t be much of an issue.
Disclaimer: this is a joke, don’t murder people, it’s wrong.
- So you expect anyone to complain with this?
- Since you draw big black rectangles over the whole pictures, why put the disclaimer in such an ominous way?
FWIW, that’s not the kind of content I expect to come across here, and covered or not, I appreciated the spoiler cover 
There might not have been anything “wrong” with leaving it open, but I appreciate that he thought of others.
