      war is in their blood

      My impression of the impact of World War II on China and Japan is still in all the domestic anti-Japanese dramas: the aggressors were brutal, raped and looted, the national army fought heroically, and the lives of the people were better than death. Everything stays at the most tragic and tragic...

      An indescribable viewing experience

      When scoring, I was hesitant and couldn't say "poor". After much deliberation, I could only give a three-star rating and rated it as "OK". Personal feelings, very subjective, not worth learning from.

      Watching this movie is really not a good experience. In class, the teacher talked about Ibushi...

      This time, Imamura Shohei is as solemn and heavy as black rain. His camera lens shows two purgatory in the world without evasion, one on the day of August 6th, and the other after August 6th. Once a nuclear explosion occurs, it must not only happen in the local area at that time, but also countless time bombs appear in people's bodies and nerves. He asks a question that I've never been able to figure out, but haven't found an answer to, maybe never will, like the rainbow at the end of the film that's doomed to never appear (in black and white). The carp jumped out of the water, the reeds were scattered all over the sky, and life died silently. A married daughter who is completely different from Ozu, a total resistance of images, themes, and ideas.

      The atypical Imamura Shohei can clearly see the imitation of the master Yasujiro Ozu, who he despises. Not only the similar theme of marrying a girl, Imamura has consciously borrowed Ozu's shooting method in indoor depth of field scheduling, camera selection, and dialogue scene handling. The conservative orientation of the entire film is unique in Imamura's works. Although compared to Ozu, Imamura's approach of peeling away the hidden scars in the calm daily life can be called a burst. In the Blu-ray disc, there is another colorful ending where Yasuko and other victims are incarnated in stone statues. Finally, it ends with the modern Hiroshima reconstructed by aerial photography, which can be regarded as a continuation of the shooting method of the previous series of war scar documentaries of "Nyu Hyun". It may be due to Scott's film of the same name, which is even harder to find than those unpopular documentaries from Imamura.

    • Shigematsu Shizuma: "An unjust peace is better than a just war." It's important to note that this is said cynically.
