As a Chinese, you can see mixed flavors. Regarding this war, even if both sides hold an anti-war attitude, their positions are different, and their feelings are completely different. While emphasizing that they are victims, the Japanese did not reflect on why the disaster caused it. They only saw resentment against the United States and conveyed their apology through the guilt of the American character. There was a sense of national beautification of "I have let go". . Even if he is a master,...

When looking at the later generations who lived a relaxed life in Nagasaki, when the big man in the United States who bullied them was regarded as a sweet pastry, the grandmother felt uneasy. She stubbornly remembered the moment when the dark clouds shrouded her husband and relatives were no longer uncommon. Live, this film deepens this contradiction from the perspective of children, but it allows Americans like Clark to blur the lines of...

The question was asked very well at the beginning, the story of the past, the broken piano, the small blackboard, the overlap of the past and the present in the space, the two trees, the eyes. The idyll-like life of four children and a grandmother and the performances of these people are very attractive. Americans get bored when they arrive. Totally boring. The most boring fix in the world. If I want to solve it all, it seems that I have solved it all, leaving a tail that does not exist....

There are a few places in the middle that are a little deliberate, but the whole is still quite rounded and light, which is quite different from director Kurosawa's previous plays, and the last scene is very tense. Akira Kurosawa didn't reveal his view of war, and I don't think it's a sign that he didn't reflect on war, because that's not what this movie discusses at all. For ordinary people born in Nagasaki, it is a normal human emotion to miss their relatives who died in the nuclear...

The first half is ok when there are only old ladies and children, especially the indoor...

The old urchin-like grandmother, four innocent children and grandchildren, and the middle-aged and boring middle-aged, a family of three generations, the United States and Japan, are connected because of a nuclear bomb. Family films taste great, but the anti-war theme cuts a little hard. Emperor Kurosawa's sermons are always hard to swallow....

Put aside plain and straightforward anti-war didactic intentions. This is clearly a different kind of summer movie. The picture of the last four children chasing their grandmother in the rain makes the scalp...

Japanese films made of reflection on war always like to put themselves on the side of the victims. It seems that only the tragedies that happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are their memories, while the aggression against East Asia is selectively forgotten... Having seen so many of the same type, only Kobayashi Masaki is facing that piece of history...

This film is a work of great artistic level and humanistic concern of Kurosawa Ming in his later years. The reflection on nuclear war is less radical in the early years, but more a return to the basics. The whole film has always been in a warm and smooth atmosphere, but this film It seems biased that the ideology only emphasizes Japan's victim in the war, while ignoring the fact that Japan was originally the...

Watching the films of Akira Kurosawa in his late years, I always feel that I am too caught up in the sense of formality, and I have lost the harmony of the spirit. So I like "Dream" the most in this one, because the form is fully developed, and it does not need to be done in one...
