I Was Born, But... (大人の見る絵本 生れてはみたけれど Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo?) (1932) is a Japanese silent film directed by Yasujiro Ozu. The film's bittersweet 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.
One of the brothers is played by Tomio Aoki (1923-2004), also known as Tokkan Kozo, a child star of the 20s and 30s who appeared in several Ozu films.
It became the first of six Ozu films to win the Kinema Junpô Critics' Prize.
Ozu later loosely remade the film as Good Morning in 1959.
