    ["The Emperor of the Movie" Director Akira Kurosawa 15] He draws our attention to the singular rather than the central issue. If our insecurities create civilization, then, ironically, we who are highly civilized are (hypothetically) destroying what we created out of fear (because the cause of war is fear), and that fear is the The original reflection of a civilization under threat. ——"Akira Kurosawa's Movie" [US] Donald...

    One of Kurosawa Akira's works, which is relatively unknown, externalizes the fear of nuclear radiation into an escape plan for three ships. The entire execution is too dramatic and scattered. Everyone understands the truth, but the performance is still based on the benevolent and the wise. It's a bit cold to argue, and Mifune's performance is like a Shakespeare play. I can't help but imagine that if Kurosawa's later works were interpreted by Mifune, it would be a different...

    The plot theme performances are too forceful, causing distortion...

    The narrative is simple, the emotions are complex, and the only sane person is tracked along the way, and the civilized people eventually become mad. The bound family relationship, even if a fire burns out, it will burn the ropes that are constantly tense. Akira Kurosawa and Shinobu Hashimoto join forces in another fable. Toshiro Mifune's acting is...

    The fear is not the fear itself, but the fear that no one shares their fears and inability, and has no freedom to make any changes. At the end, the shot of two people facing the sun, and the shot of one person going upstairs and the other going downstairs at the end are really...

    Akira Kurosawa really has a soft spot for the profession of doctors, and he is often the role of the director's endorsement. When I watched the film, I had a different feeling about my father Nakajima than everyone else. I vaguely felt that he symbolized the patriarchal power of the emperor. Well, I won't say anything else, maybe I think too...

    Obviously it should be the undisputed masterpiece of Akira...

    The most impressive scene is that the old man was questioned by the workers after burning down the factory. He half squatted down and apologized with his hands together, and poked at the...

    #BFIJapan2020 It's even more special to watch this drama on a day when the immigration boom is high. The most painful thing in life is helplessness, and the current settlement has become the biggest resistance to change; if there is no worry in life, the family has already taken root, and what is the reason behind it to leave. Expressing personal feelings is arrogant and disrespectful, accusing the country of being unfit for citizens in exchange for being put in an insane asylum. Look, it's...

    Not only at the time, but now the Japanese don't think so! In order to use more energy more conveniently, it is sad and ridiculous to build so many nuclear power plants on your own land (I feel that Mifune has the best performance in Kurosawa's...

  • Domestic Court Counselor Dr. Harada: He's gone too far. But... aren't we ourselves worried about the bombs? Of course we are, as is Miss Tamiya. Isn't that right? Only we aren't as perturbed as that man. We don't build underground shelters, or plan to move to Brazil. However, we can't exactly disregard this feeling, can we? It's a feeling shared by all Japanese, more or less. I can't justify deciding this lightly just because he's gone too far. The thing is...
