    Regardless of whether Japan can claim to be a victim of war because of the atomic bomb, Akira Kurosawa's film in his later years was basically made into an ideological education film for middle school students. The story and characters are very rigid and boring to mature audiences. Richard Gere doesn't look like a Japanese-American at all, so Keanu Reeves should be...

    Great! A good director must be a storyteller. The story begins with a letter from a relative in the United States and perfectly transfers the center of the story to the previous generation: grandma's family, Suzuki, grandpa and other deceased people killed in the atomic bomb... In a series of grandma's recollection process In the middle of nowhere, children grow up unknowingly around the question of whether to go to the United States. What I don't quite understand is the shot of the ants, which...

    Only Akira Kurosawa's aesthetics are worth seeing, clouds, glasses, water, moonlit night, crimson flowers. There is no conflict in the story, and the strength of reconciliation is not enough. Stories can't be linked together. Reflections on nuclear bombs are also not in-depth. In the end, I still want to pull back some kind of Kurosawa-specific value, but it's too stupid to change into modern clothes. Grandma is...

    Great fresh and restrained Japanese film, the first part of the summer night ghost story feels full, and the content of the atomic bomb in the latter part is a little too...

    The widow recited the scriptures, the rainstorm ran wild, and the painful memory was never sealed. Akira Kurosawa still has great ambitions in his later years, but the American setting is still a bit too deliberate, and the sense of stage is always...

    The Rhapsody in August is not only the loud noise of human judgment on the earth, but also the most painful eulogy for the people of Nagasaki, "All in one place", which was once a gift from the sky brought by the super fortress, and now it is given to future generations. The best wishes of the master, the master combines a heavy historical topic with a warm family sketch. The rebellious spirit of this master is like the eye overlooking the earth and history. It is hideous and uncomfortable, but...

    Although the expression of the subject matter is different from the style of the prime of life, the use of social environment and weather is still an important part of Master Kurosawa's directing skills. It seems that the pattern is very small, and the daily life of several children, grandchildren and the elderly can also feel the atmosphere of...
