Gate of Hell Comments

The use of colors in the costumes of the characters is splendid, mottled and round, and the overall field environment is also quite national. I thought that the color matching in Kurosawa Akira's epic masterpiece "Ran" many years later also absorbed the essence of this to a certain extent. As the most special symbol in the film, "Gate of Hell" is the externalization of greed, hatred and delusion. The evil flower in Sheng Yuan's heart grows more and more coquettish with his evil thoughts about...

The composition is delicate and neat, the costumes are gorgeous, the picture has a full oriental charm, and it has a stage quality. Political stand-ins, stand-ins who die for their husbands, women of the small warrior class were not only political victims at that time, but also stand-ins for powerful women, and they were just playthings for men. The story is thin, the gate of hell is a metaphor, the blind man knows the time, but he has eyes but can't tell the sarcasm of desire blindfolded, and...

This film, like "Dr. Caligari's Cabin", is an expressionist film. Every frame is soaked in the artistic conception of Japanese classical painting. "Perhaps, the secret to its rare exhilaration is that it deftly fuses the torrents of subterranean booms with the most magnificent flows of superficial serenity. The tension and agony of intense passions make us see the harshness, dignity of a gorgeous screen, Self-discipline and sublime aesthetic harmony. The essence of ancient Japanese culture...

If it weren't for the sublimation of obedience to women's morals near the end, the whole film is almost a replica of one of Rashomon's stories. The production team also used Kazuo Miyagawa who was in charge of the camera and Kyo Machiko, who was a singer and dancer. The depiction of the nobles and samurai classes is too...

One star is given to the elegant drapery and gorgeous clothes, and four stars is given to Jing Dingzi, who is beautiful in both movement and stillness. It was obvious that Kassa fell in love with two people and couldn't make a choice, so Du and Sheng Yuan appeared helpless to look at each other after Kassa's...

In the cassock you can see how the spirit of the samurai affected the entire nation. For the Japanese, it is not easy to owe favors to others. They think that the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay, and some even spend their entire lives. For a woman, be loyal to her husband and to her family. The cassock reconciles her loyalty to her husband and her kindness to Sheng Yuan through her own death. This movie and "Loyalty" and "Bushido Cruel Story" are good movies for understanding...

The 1953 film was originally a love story. The color of the film is beautiful, and it is full of sense of the times. It revolves around loyalty, love and persistence. The story is very simple, and the picture is very flavorful. The stage is strong, the rhythm is lively and the tension is full. good early...

One for the master and two for the husband, die. The husband was sad, and the infatuated reckless man became a monk. Whose hell gate? The coup d'état began, but the seizure of a wife did not end, which was quite anticlimactic. It is said to be the first color film, and it is really gorgeous, with makeup, costumes, scenes, and...
