    In "Toad's Oil", Akira Kurosawa will recall the horrors he and his brother witnessed after being bombed when he was a child. These terrifying scenes and the fear that brought them to the soul are displayed decades later. During the Cold War missile crisis, a Beirut college girl hid under her quilt and cried because she felt the end was coming. I think it is with these more sensitive and "unbearable" people that we can always be wary of war (or whatever). But when the old man played by Mifune...

    - Nuclear explosion and hydrogen explosion are terrible, let's move. - Don't want to go. -go! - Don't go! - I'll burn the house if I don't leave! - It's actually burning, is there something wrong with your brain? ! Ended up in a mental hospital. The 35-year-old Toshiro Mifune plays the role of 70-year-old. Makeup has great effect. The extension of the performance is limited to a few fixed expressions. The most curious thing is how the ribs on the chest stand...

    From the point of view of natural or man-made disasters, escaping the island of Japan is a wise move. Even if there is no nuclear explosion and nuclear pollution, earthquakes and tsunamis alone are not a good place for human beings to settle down for a long time. There is nothing to worry about, escape early and be safe, and escape later and suffer more. The film was boycotted by Japanese audiences and was boycotted by Japanese awards, but it was still difficult to stop Akira Kurosawa's...

    The last shot is meaningful. Toshiro Mifune plays an old man who is worried about nuclear fear, a drama experiment by Akira Kurosawa, which ranked fourth in the top ten films in Japan's ten-day newspaper that...

    Akira Kurosawa described a personal alienation mileage with exaggerated artistic techniques, and used a small person to reflect on the society. This kind of nation-specific sense of apocalyptic catastrophe is full of postmodernity without being rendered. The old man played by Mifune and the mad doctor of Shimura Bridge in "The Drunken Angel" in this movie are really role swaps...

    Didn't find a reason to be considered a failure, but in my opinion it's an undisputed masterpiece. It is not only a reflection of Japan under the shadow of nuclear weapons, but also an indictment of the arms race throughout the Cold War period. What is scary is not the imminent destruction, but the fact that no one cares about the destruction. This may be the best Mifune in Akira Kurosawa's works. He successfully shaped an old man who was on the verge of mental breakdown, which made people hate...

    Mifune is one of the most performative actors I've ever seen, where the loving parents of paranoid paranoiacs come at their fingertips. Are you talking about the alienation of the Cold...

    [3.0] is the type of movie that eats a lot of scripts. Akira Kurosawa completed his work as a movie supervisor in a regular manner, and there were no serious mistakes in the direction. This script will actually be more suitable for those Japanese New Wave directors who are angry with the social status quo and dare to face the maggot nature of people. A deeper expression of nuclear...

    It was so unflattering, no wonder it was a box-office fiasco. The interior shots are very particular, and the spatial structure and use of light are more refined than in previous...

I Live in Fear quotes

  • 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...
