    9.2. Why didn't Kurosawa take the Palme d'Or? The downside is the lack of a character free from perpetual icy...

    It seems that Kurosawa has a high talent for film, but his talent for storytelling is mediocre? Talk about loneliness or something, but it is the bond between the world that forms the circuit. This movie made me realize that horror as the subject matter of the story is generally relatively thin. And the narrative routine of the story is really very...

    The text is too rich to go beyond the category of horror films, and I prefer to interpret it as an existential fairy tale of "the only two remaining idealists in the world fighting against loneliness and nothingness". The figurative ghost of death said "I am not an illusion", and the eternal circuit was opened the moment she touched her entity, and she boarded the Noah's boat with her last friend's dying body, "I am very happy". A hopeless Kurosawa-esque post-apocalyptic romance. It was a very...

    Kurosawa Kiyoshi's very ambitious thriller, through the emerging Internet at that time, tells the essence of people's loneliness, predicts that the Internet will strengthen and deepen people's sense of loneliness instead of the opposite, and also creates a situation of the end of mankind; unfortunately, the degree of completion is not complete. Too high, the plot is flawed, and how ghosts cause people's death has been unclear; but the audio-visual language is wonderful, the sense of horror is...

    In fact, in the steps of the devil, the ghost almost lost control when he walked towards the...

    This is the real "horror movie" in my mind, not a plasma movie, not a disgusting movie, nor a frightening movie. There is almost no visual horror image in the whole film, but the eerie long lens, the ghost's "jump cut", and the extremely excellent noise soundtrack all have a deep-rooted cold. Kurosawa uses the genre of horror films to explore the urban disease of modern people, and ghosts are the embodiment of this disease - indifferent to each other, but afraid of loneliness. The Internet,...

    I'm afraid my brain circuit can't keep up with Kurosawa Kiyoshi's story. It's still in line with the master's style for a horror film to be so artistically obscure. I can't understand it, so it feels good. In other words, the computer in 2001 is still the same or win98 technology is developing too fast, and the computer is about to become paper in the blink of an...

    Kurosawa Kiyoshi's stories and schedules are conceptualized, everything is a bridging of dimensions on different planes, and realism is just a direction without strict...

    Evil nature ~ It's scary enough to watch alone ~ I finally know who the protagonist is ~ There is no character description at all ~ Each character can be anyone ~ So, everyone in the Nima film adds up to a composite protagonist ~ and the battleship Potemkin The proletariat represented by everyone is the same~A ghost story played by a ghost~In the end, the ghost finds out that he is not a human story~The idea is top-notch~The atmosphere is top-notch~The technique is top-notch~It’s just that Nima...

    Inherited from "Midnight Bell" and "The Grudge", the feeling of devouring diffuses from telephone receivers, computer screens, and bedroom corners to buildings, streets and cities, with hidden philosophical thoughts - energy is accumulated in the dark and eventually becomes systematic disaster. Kiyoshi Kurosawa proved himself that there was no way out by finding a way out. Everyone tried their best to help others get rid of the fear of death. Similarly, everyone was powerless to stop others...
