    I'm sorry, I really didn't understand. At most, after I understand a little bit, I'll have to watch the one with Nagisa Oshima... It's meaningful that the people recorded on the film have a style similar to the Japan Film...

    The peak of Mifune's acting skills, the hunched old man who gradually collapsed under the fear of nuclear explosion. Looking back at the nuclear power plant accidents in recent years, such a cautionary tale is worth looking...

    Sources are hard to find. Most of the family relationships portrayed by Akira Kurosawa are discordant or even alienated. Perhaps in his view, the loneliness of the "Samurai" is as inevitable as the decline. Mifune has dedicated a lot of plasticity, but I still think that the eyes behind the glasses of Japanese teacher Zhang Fengyi Shimura Qiao are even more...

    In the hot and dry season, it finally "burned up". At the end of the film the dentist goes downstairs and the mother carries the child upstairs. The film does not discuss the issue of nuclear disaster, but reveals the collapse of traditional concepts in modern society, and the pure heart is impacted by the rapidly changing outside world. Although it was regarded as a failure, it marked the transfer of Kurosawa's humanitarianism from the reality of people's livelihood to the human nature and...

    In my opinion, the nuclear crisis is only a background cause. If you replace it with doomsday theories such as Resident Evil and the advent of aliens, the story is also true. The distortion of human nature under the deadly threat is the biggest theme. It is not so much a record of living people as it is a record of spiritual changes in living people. It is true that individual madness has the characteristics of exaggeration and magnification, but to a certain extent, it can be roughly scattered...

    The fetters of civilization

    He has always held high respect for Akira Kurosawa, on the one hand because of his international reputation, and more because of his attention to human nature. He once said that the greatest ideal in his life was to change Japan's shameful political system. It is a pity that he failed, so what we...

    Shinobu Hashimoto talks about the box office failure of "Records of the Living"

    The hair style fiasco of "Records of the Living" is unimaginable... If the audience flocked at the beginning and thought the work was uninteresting, the content was too obscure, and the number of audiences decreased, I would still Understandable. But the situation is that from day one the theater...

I Live in Fear quotes

  • Jiro Nakajima: My father's scheme is simply a castle in the air. He wants to buy a farm there, but he has no dollars at all. Emigration is being encouraged if it is constructive, but he's running away from Japan because he is afraid. Will he get any dollars? No. I went to the Finance Ministry and verified it. In short, this plan is bound to end up like his underground house.

  • 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!
