    As a Chinese, every time I see a Japanese film about war, I always feel emotional. Indeed, so many people die, so many families are broken, so many wounds cannot be healed, no matter which country, it is bad luck for the people, and it is the fault of the war. But who initiated the war? Did you really apologize sincerely? I don't appreciate Kurosawa for this kind of film. However, the overall style and shooting techniques of the film are very...

    Kurosawa's movie is really powerful. The technique in this movie reminds of the Seven Samurai in several places, a story that is difficult to shoot, and an emotion that is difficult to articulate. If you don’t need to cut a piece of meat with a sharp blade, you can pat it with the back of the knife to loosen the meat, have a better taste after cooking, and retain the juice. good to...

    The scene where the boy saw the ants climbing on the rose was quite interesting. The tiny ants on the ground were like figures on the ground from the perspective of a pilot, while the fiery red rose was like a cloud of mushrooms in the original explosion. "Rose"... I feel that this movie is actually developed around the imagery of this scene. In the second half of the plot, it feels more rushed. The design of many plot points is harder. For example, Clark said that he is coming. Clark went to...

    Being a cosmopolitan is to dispel the feelings of the family and the country. As there is a saying, what the Nazis first occupied is their own country. What is the nature of the atomic bomb? For the whole mankind, it is not a presupposition. It is pure evil. For the earth, it may just be pure evil. A small cold is a bargaining chip to change the balance for the originally opposed country and nation. For a family, it is a catastrophe. For the victimized individual, it is the end of...

    The people who are harmed by war will always be ordinary people. The master's presentation of details is still so...

    #黑泽明# The setting of the camera position, the use of space, and the division of the lens all start from the subject matter, and the mood is peaceful. The best scene is about...

    It was a little deliberate, but it was still very good. Forests, waterfalls, lakes, roses, ants, dark clouds, heavy rain, the lens is really beautiful. Japan wants the United States to apologize, but when will the apology that Japan owes us be...

    Although in terms of literary criticism, the film and the original should be treated as two independent works. But what do you say? There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Murata Kiyoko's profound original work, Kurosawa has already lost a game by directly picking the theme as anti-war. What's more, the film's performance of this theme is very deliberate and simple. But the final shot is very good and very...
