    The dinner was rich but not pleasant, because the conversation of the adults was boring. Clinging to the heart of wealth, this is the reality of adults. It's something I've experienced this year. Adults are always self-righteous and accuse children, but they don't know that they are just using their seniority to force their children. The Chinese have mixed feelings about the atomic bomb (quoted from Douyou) Because the Japanese aggression has caused more pain to the Chinese than the atomic...

    Akira Kurosawa is an undeniable master in the history of world cinema, but he is a Japanese after all, and he can understand the complex national emotions of the pride and sadness of a generation who experienced the rise of Japan in modern times to the decline of World War II. Similarly, the master can tell his heart through the film, and disguise the Japanese bag as a World War II victim. However, as a Chinese, I cannot accept Japan, which still worships the Class A war criminals of World War...

    Every character or type of character bears a strong sense of symbols, so that this movie, which originally cut into the war from the perspective of civilians, also looks like a reportage analyzing the consequences of the...

    Akira Kurosawa's penultimate movie has some elements from the previous work [Dream], and more of the feeling of the last work [Curling Sunset], but the main line of the Japanese and American atomic bombs is entangled in it, which makes the film very unbalanced , and it's hard to get people into the...

    The last scene is the most touching, the kind of catching up scene is very slow, it seems that it will never catch up. Injuries are the pain of those who are in pain, and others who see the wound will never understand. Because the injury was too deep, the pain that could not be wiped off would always come back. Who is willing to see more scars because of the fear of future generations? Even if you look at it a few more times, you can understand a little...

    Master Kurosawa's reflection on the war and the depiction of family affection, the metaphor of the eyes is somewhat incomprehensible, but the style of painting is uncharacteristically fresh. The first movie of the Year of the Horse is still a master work that takes a lot of...

    On the day of the National Memorial Day, I happened to watch a Japanese film about the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. But the film isn't so much an anti-war stance, it's more about how unique individuals are greatly affected by war. The American attitude towards the explosion is basically invisible in the movies, only the Japanese commemorate the deceased that year. This is very similar to Japan's attitude towards the Nanjing Massacre. We Chinese have been seriously remembering this day, but we...

    In the Japanese Hiroshima and Nagasaki plot, Akira Kurosawa is still very hard, but the master's pictures and emotional performance are...

    The film is rich in color. Seeing a big era through a small family. Through the lives of several children, I can feel the various states of that era. Everyone can have different interpretations and...
