090321 I liked the first part very much before the funeral. Although it is a Japanese story, no matter the rhythm, characters, shots, and even the music, it has the style of American film noir, and it writes the death and life of people and the death of the system in both directions. But it was too protracted from the beginning of the funeral. The length of two and a half hours is not within my aesthetic length.

[China Film Archive Kurosawa Akira Film Festival] 4K restoration version. The first half shows the dying person's longing for life and vitality, and the second half turns abruptly, using a technique similar to "Citizen Kane", using the memories of the supporting characters to piece together the last struggle and persistence of the protagonist's life. The ingenuity is praised by the festival. This is not only a critical reality masterpiece that satirizes the mediocre bureaucracy, but also an elegy for a good man who praises the good and the great. Thought-provoking and touching!

Toyo: What help am I?
Kanji: You - just to look at you makes me feel better. It warms this - this mummy's heart of mine. And you're so kind to me. No; that's not it. You're so young, so healthy. No; that's not it either... You're so full of life. And me... I'm jealous of that. If I could be like you for just one day before I died. I won't be able to die unless I can do that. I want to do *something*. Only you can show me. I don't know what to do. I don't know how. Maybe you don't know either, but, please... if you can... show me how to be like you!

Novelist: That's not art. A striptease isn't art. It's too direct. It's more direct than art. That woman's body up there? It's a big juicy steak. It's a glass of gin. It's a hormone extract. Streptomycin. Uranium!
