    Rather than depicting the aftermath of the war in Japan at that time, it is a representation of the fear of the Cold War, which had just entered its fierce stage, and the arms race involving nuclear weapons. At the same time, the description of the male protagonist's "persecution delusional disorder" and the different reactions of his family to his behavior can also be seen as Kurosawa's innuendo to the complex side of ordinary family relationships. The male protagonist's paranoid behavior...

    When he was young, he was romantic and old, and he was afraid of hydrogen bomb radiation. He said that he was worried about the safety of his family. But he also has pitiful things. The fear of the hydrogen bomb is not his fault, his children covet inheritance, and the outcome of the mental hospital is also sympathetic. Akira Kurosawa not only criticized selfishness and bigotry, but also placed humanitarian care. This is "a kind call from a living person". The court mediates family disputes,...

    Reluctantly Samsung, Akira Kurosawa, as an anti-war person, is naturally quite distressed in the face of Japanese militarism in the 1950s. The theme of this work is first, it is like a scholar who has been suppressed for a long time, and when he can write, he always I want to write all the words in my heart, but it is too much for an hour and a half...

I Live in Fear quotes

  • Jiro Nakajima: [to Kiichi] You see, I obtained a Court Order forbidding disposal of our assets. Until the case is decided, we can't spend a yen. Yet you did this. And what you did was illegal. Your objection will be overruled.

    Toyo Nakajima: But Father brought back the money.

    Jiro Nakajima: Don't accept it.

    [Sue throws a paper at Jiro. Jiro throws the paper back. Kiichi gets up and beats Jiro]

    Jiro Nakajima: Wait! Wait, Father!

  • Kiichi Nakajima: Please, I beg of you. Go to Brazil, I beg of you. All of you, as one family. You say I'm deluded. Maybe I am. But H-bombs really exist. War can break out any time. If it does, it will be too late; you can go nowhere then. We can still make it, let's flee why we can.

    [He points to the baby]

    Kiichi Nakajima: I must spare him. I can't let an H-bomb get him.

    [He starts sniffling]

    Kiichi Nakajima: I gave up hope once. I thought I wouldn't care about you. If I could save this baby at least, that's what I thought. But all of you are my flesh and blood. I can't leave you here! Please come with me!

    [He gets out a letter]

    Kiichi Nakajima: Look, he's written from Brazil. He kindly writes to me, "Come at once. I'll arrange your citizenship. Come to me, and leave this hell. Everything will be fine." Even a stranger is kind to us. I beseech you, come with me to Brazil. Please, I beg of you, on my hands and knees!

    Toyo Nakajima: Please go with him. Father is begging you.

    [She starts crying]

    Toyo Nakajima: I'm begging you, too. Please go with him. You know, he's always been right. Father's always been a good planner, planning for all of you. Let's go, Ichiro. Jiro, let's go. Let's go, Yoshiko. Say something! Why are you so silent?

    [Kiichi starts to get up. Sue stands up suddenly and clings to her father]

    Sue Nakajima: I'll go with you, Father!

    [She sobs into Kiichi's clothes. Kiichi collapses. Sue kneels down and shakes him]

    Sue Nakajima: Father! Father! Father! Father! Father!
