      Desire and fog


         Akira Kurosawa shot this black-and-white film in 1957, adapted from Shakespeare's play "Macbeth". By his old partner Shinobu Hashimoto, the hero of the small country, and Ryuzo Kikushima, as well as himself wrote the script. After the film was released, it received wide acclaim and was praised...

      Spider Nest City

      During the peacetime, the fortitude, boldness, composure, bravery and other excellent qualities that Washizu Takeshi showed were all gone after the betrayal. Status rises, worth falls; castle is in hand, but power is lost; greedy, suspicious, conceited, cowardly, and ugly. What changed Washatsu...

      Use destiny to cover up desire. To be honest, I have a hard time understanding why this is Akira Kurosawa's pinnacle work? Personally, I prefer "Seven Samurai" and "Rashomon". I always feel that this one is not enough. Although the details and composition are very good, it feels that it is not as extreme as the previous ones...PS: When I watched it, I also thought of "Wuji" 》

      Compared with Rashomon's pure preaching, this drama adapted from "Macbeth" is more watchable, and the description of the characters' inner greed is more realistic and prominent. Personally, I think it is the best movie by Kurosawa Akira after "Seven Samurai".
