Actually very scary. As Akira Kurosawa's first color film, the special thing is that he didn't tell the story of samurai this time, nor was he ordinary life, but brought the camera to the most marginal area, reflecting the most ordinary life of the people at the bottom. But this kind of living situation is very morbid and can be said to be absurd. Taking Xiaoliu lives in another world, extending the plot, while Xiaoliu is lonely, strange, and even more...

At the beginning, I thought that the taste suddenly became small and fresh, but Nima, who knows that the makeup in the latter part is more terrifying than before, it can directly scare people to death! The whole play basically has nothing to do with the title, and the protagonist has far fewer roles than everyone else. Another film that can't be seen after the idiot...

This film is a bit heavy. After the red beard's friendship with Mifune capsized, and encountered a series of setbacks, I felt that the emperor was aggrieved, and filmed all the people's greed, cowardice, stupidity, ugly, shameless, cheating, sex, wife, incest, and incest. Accident. There were still several scenes that made me think, "Ah, Akira Kurosawa is driving things like movies". I found that there are almost no front and back fights in the emperor movies, and so many black and white films...

The first movie after Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune separated, it was also Akira Kurosawa's first color movie, and it was also the first movie after its failure to hit Hollywood. The appearance of all beings in the bottom slums is very experimental and too artistic. The 8 stories lead to a very scattered plot, and it is too boring and the rhythm is too flat. The plot is told a lot and seems to say nothing. It is extremely unfriendly to ordinary audiences. The film's box office failure was...

Surreal, humanitarian, mad little people. Kurosawa's first color film, thrilling red, yellow and blue. Chen Kaige's filming of "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" must also be inspired by...

The script is the dramatic conflict of classic literature, and the performance is the staged action. Humanistic care cannot be said to be bad, but that's...

"Am I going to make a samurai movie that will fight and kill all my life until I die?" Delusional thinking should be the most painful question of Akira Kurosawa, who was 60 years old at the time. Is it possible to make a movie that bravely uncovers the scars of the Japanese people and reflects the current social situation, just to be the honest child in the emperor's new clothes, even if he dies in the end, it should be valuable and have no regrets? So he made this film. This is one of his few...

The first color film, the gorgeous colors and scenery are like a gorgeous and huge contemporary art. The plot is basically a copy of the lowest level, and the desperation that cannot be seen is the same as Kurosawa himself at that time. It's a pity that such a good stage lacks shining actors like Mifune, and it's no wonder that the box office failed...

After going to the United States and returning to China, he continued the human suffering mode of "Redbeard", and used the rescued little mouse to play the silly "Trolley Mania" to bring out this turning point and can be described as a legendary work. Although there were productions by the four major directors, but without the experimental and surreal stage style of the royal actors, the popularity of the audience declined and the market reputation failed miserably. After that, Akira Kurosawa...

Beggar: Our house ought to be built on a hill. We Japanese used to build houses in valleys and mountain coves. We've always preferred the lowlands.
Beggar's Son: That's true. I saw pictures of foreign countries. They have their houses in high places, but ours are in low places.
Beggar: There's a reason for that. There are many earthquakes and typhoons in Japan. Wooden houses in high places are easily shaken by earthquakes and typhoons. So they chose the lowlands to avoid the danger. But that's not the only reason.
Beggar: [continues] The Japanese prefer soft light to bright sunshine. We like shady places. We like to live in the midst of nature. So we couldn't get used to concrete houses.
Beggar's Son: That's right. I don't like concrete houses either. They're too cold for me.
Beggar: But we shouldn't forget one thing. It's true that wooden houses suit the Japanese people. But we mustn't cling to our culture and characteristics if we become weak and lose endurance as a result. By living in houses made of stone, iron, and concrete, foreigners have strengthened their characters and capabilities. Now we're building our own house. We must take our future into consideration. We must think of you, your children, and your grandchildren.
Beggar's Son: Yes, that's true.

Beggar: I've been thinking all evening about the house we're building... Looks like you're sleepy?
Beggar's Son: No, I'm not sleepy. I'm listening.
Beggar: The gate comes first. The gate is the face of a house. The face shows the character.
Beggar's Son: Mm hmm. That's right.
Beggar: Since we're building a house on a hill, it must be in a European style. How about rococo? Or Spanish style? British style isn't bad either... They're a bit showy. It should be neither too fancy nor too imposing. I want a gate both plain and inviting.
