Has the depiction of the elderly in Japanese movies changed with the growing number of senior citizens in Japan?

Since the percentage of seniors is -- and has been -- on the rise, do Japanese films today feature more active senior citizen characters than in the past, say the 1950s or 1960s?

Can anyone offer examples of films that show this change?
