    -.5, there are a lot of good plays, but...sad. There are basically no more Japanese-style houses with mountains and peaks (the place where the main plot takes place in the previous works). Due to the scheduling needs of a larger narrative format and a more open scene space, the aesthetic form of the images has been dismembered to a certain extent. The ambiguous distance between the camera and the characters no longer exists, resulting in the latter entering the melodramatic framework without...

    The images of B/Mizoguchi are still extraordinary. Desolate nature and purgatory world, time and space interlace poetry and painting, and give actors a simple space. But the second half of the play failed. After the most secluded plot point, a large fault is formed due to the rapid switching of character identities, and the returning emotions at the end are also a bit timid. Perhaps it is the mistake of too much adherence to the concept of the times in the adaptation of folk tales, and it is...

    Peaceful tragedy

    The tragedy of the Heian period, the forced separation of families under the times, the pursuit of human rights.

    Mizoguchi's character-building skills are very deep in this later work. At the beginning, he used multiple reverse-order narratives to form the character of the chef king. Although the...

Sansho the Bailiff quotes

  • Taro: Even children as young as you are sold and bought, treated like animals, and nobody questions it. What a horrible world.

  • Taro: [to Zushio] I found that humans have little sympathy for things that don't directly concern them. They're ruthless. Unless those hearts can be changed, the world you dream of cannot come true. If you wish to live honestly with your conscience, keep close to the Buddha.
