    Probably the most peculiar movie in Akira Kurosawa's films, but it's also my favorite one so far. Life is like a glass bottle of destiny thrown away by God shattered into pieces of different shapes, and the piece that belongs to everyone reflects the Unusual colors, unique textures and...

    The music is great. Akira Kurosawa has big ambitions, but it is not very friendly to ordinary audiences. It wants to be all-encompassing and full of meaning. . Some dream style. However, the type of entertainment is not strong, and it is doomed to fail at the box office. . But it really was a great failure. . The more grandiose and pitiful shadow warriors that appeared later, Chaos must have a direct relationship with the failure of this...

    2018.12.08 at the Film Archive. I watched it together with "I have no regrets about my youth", and it was very sad after reading it. All are wonderful masterpieces. Strangelove Greg said that this is Akira Kurosawa's first color film. The suffering of the people at the bottom always makes me empathize. The destitute father and his begging son fantasized about building a house and a swimming pool. The colorful and fantastical colors and soundtrack are hilarious. Apart from food, their biggest nee

    The part where Yukichi Lame Island brought his colleagues home was wonderful. Akira Kurosawa was unhappy with the actor who played the bad uncle, and the actor asked the assistant director nervously. 渋皮のむけた Female... Negishi Akemi, the old man... Fujiwara Kazuzu. Yukichi Shima..........Ban...

    CC Collection No. 465, produced in Japan in 1970, Akira Kurosawa's first color film at the age of 60. Another version of "Lower", there is no "Redbeard" to save everything, only the amusement of the tram idiot. The unreasonable shrew, the perverted uncle, the silent man, the difference between a stone house and a wooden house, the widower who misses his wife and daughter, the thief who surrendered himself, the alcoholic brother who changed his wife. Ukiyo-e of various unfortunate families...

    A love letter written by Akira Kurosawa to the marginalized people at the bottom, and it is also a warning letter to the world. There are all kinds of sufferings in the world, and goodwill is...

    The poor people's life, the colors are quite bright and colorful, and the contrast between the life in the film is huge. The perspective is fairly peaceful, and I can't read any high-level criticism. I especially like the idiots on the tram and interspersed with footnotes in the film. I especially like the detached old craftsman, the homeless father and son who designed a house in their imagination with their son, and the man who refused to speak after his wife cheated and looked dead. , these...
