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...

Purgatory in the human world, cultivate separately
The director's first color film has a relatively poor reputation. The main reason is that the color magnifies the dirty feeling of the characters, costumes and scenes, and there is no clear story. It is indeed completely different from the director's previous works. I didn't have high expectations...

"Trolley Mania" - the stubbornness and tenderness of a samurai.
"Trolley Mania" is a magical work, a film that is enough to be selected as a textbook whether it is film art or film history.
Judging from the timeline, it is a central axis that divides Akira Kurosawa's 50-year directorial career, from "Shisanshiro" in 1943 to "Curling Sunset Love" in 1993.
In terms...

Suicidal Old Man: [Haltingly, opening up to Mr. Tanba, who patiently listens to him] I'm fed up with everything now... Life is nothing but pain to me. When I get up in the morning and get ready for breakfast... thinking I have to do everything all over again, I just lose my strength. Food doesn't taste good. I lose my appetite.
Suicidal Old Man: [continues, as Mr. Tanba listens silently] When I go to the public bath, I'm disgusted to see myself in the mirror. Naked, I look really disgusting and filthy. I can't stand myself. At this point... the only thing I want... is to die quickly. I want to disappear from this world.
Mr. Tanba: [Mr. Tanba gets up and starts rummaging for some items, and prepares a powder which he gives to the man] This powder is used in engraving. It's a very strong poison, not sold to the public. You'll die without pain an hour after taking it. If you really want to die, take it.
Suicidal Old Man: [the suicidal man eagerly takes the powder and pours all of it in his mouth, then drinks it down with water] Thank you. It's very kind of you. Goodbye.

Yukichi Shima: [speaking to his three guests] Let me ask you a question. Have you ever found a way to get rice from a rice store? I don't mean borrowing, I mean taking it right in front of their eyes.
Yukichi Shima: [continues] You take a big pot and get it all wet on the inside, and have it filled at the rice store. Try to get it on credit and they'll refuse. You throw the rice out, but the pot is wet. So some rice remains stuck to the sides. If you repeat that three times, you'll get enough for a meal. Eh? Great, isn't it?
