    3.8 The sequelae of the nuclear explosion of World War II from the perspective of children ~ the generation gap between three generations. Adults only look at the eyes of money, and children only look at the front. The art is a bit poor, but in some ways it is much more advanced than...

    Kurosawa's penultimate movie, many details are good, do not understand the metaphor of rose and organ. . I don't think there is any problem with the intention. If any Chinese suddenly finds out that a wealthy relative in Japan will be like the character in the film. . Yoshioka Hidetaka was still a teenager at the...

    As a Chinese, it is very complicated to see the Japanese suffering from the war. . . The granny's horror story is very interesting, and Richard Gere's Japanese is very lame and funny. In fact, the film is a bit straightforward for Eastern movies, but it is undoubtedly easy to be accepted by the West. This may be one of the reasons why Kurosawa is more popular in the West than other Japanese...

    After all, the master is a master. The eighty-year-old Kurosawa sees his skills in the subtleties. Four children, an old man, and an American, a simple storyline, a slightly Zen-like picture, and a few strokes bring it out. The director's complex emotions about the war and the atomic bomb that the Americans dropped on...

    This is a work made by the 80-year-old Emperor! With only a traditional Japanese-style old house, 4 children around an old grandmother, while recalling people’s childhood memories, the heavy anti-war theme is also spoken lightly. This is not enough, yes. The irony of profiteering in the adult world has also fallen. I don’t think this film has the purpose of washing the ground for Japanese militarism. On the contrary, Kurosawa only selected the most unique and ordinary civilians among the...

    Observe the lusty middle-aged people from the perspective of childhood and the return to innocence old man. There is also the reflection on the war by the Japanese, Americans and their descendants who were hurt in the nuclear war. In fact, civilians are always the victims of...
