"Tokyo Story" vs. classical Hollywood: 2 Types of Realism

What I see as the biggest difference in perspective between Ozu's Tokyo Story and a classical Hollywood film is that they vary in the number of perspectives that they are shown from. Now, what this leads to is a question of which movie makes a greater use of realism. The way perspective is used in classical Hollywood movies is such that the viewer, for the duration of the movie, is lead to believe in a world where the only perspectives that count are that of God (referring to omniscient point-of-view) and of the protagonist(s). On the other hand, perspectives used in Tokyo Story are many more than that. Everyone's perspective is utilized in Tokyo Story so as to illustrate the values of Japanese culture. These different uses of perspective not only illustrate the cultures that create the differences between Japanese and American films but also illustrate the different ways that the concept of realism can be interpreted. The way that realism is interpreted in Tokyo Story is that reality is believed to be something that is shared by everybody whereas, in Hollywood cinema, reality is portrayed as something that is decided upon by the important people (that is, the main characters).
