    Since it is based on folklore, it is inevitable that there will be idealized plots, such as the counterattack of the chef king and the retreat after the revolution, which is obviously unreasonable, but it does not damage the tragic feelings of the...

    The name is so strange that Dr. Sanjiao is actually the name of the villain landlord and has nothing to do with the protagonist. Maybe it's easier to pass down folk tales with the names of villains? A strong-willed mother can sing a sad song to the other side. All people are created equal and everyone has the right to pursue their own aspirations. Western ideas are used in the story in the context of Japanese history. The original Mori Ogai was published in...

    When the mother and son were separated, the mother was trafficked to the other side of the river. When her daughter committed suicide, she quietly walked into the middle of the river. In the end, the son found the blind mother at the beach, but the end was not the reunion of the two crying and hugging deeply. The camera panned and went up and down. Back to the sparkling endless sea. The water under Kenji Mizoguchi's black and white images is an image, an artistic...

    Mizoguchi lens is too fierce! One person made one movie in his life, and Sanjiao is a masterpiece. The sound effect of double C is restored well. It's just that the subtitles are killing me......

    Mizoguchi made the film as originally intended to excavate the dark side of human nature, and how Dr. Sansho went on a sadistic path of no return. Any problem that violates the system, a non-democratic society will always find various reasons to kill...

    The doctor named Sanjiao is actually a story of a "second-generation official" who was abducted and sold as a slave and succeeded in revenge. The highlight is not in revenge itself, but in the benevolent belief of his father and the courage and actions to fight against the "system" upheld by the "second generation of officials". After all, it is a realistic style. The plot is a little too narrational, and the emotion is a little too exaggerated. After watching too many ethical dramas with fine...

    Sometimes I feel that film is not the art of so-called "storytelling" at all, and its value and charm are not at all in the rough...

    Mizoguchi's dignity and distance are intoxicating in contrast to the French's narcissistic jump cuts and facial...

    With the sea, sky, dead wood, water waves and houses as the background or foreground, coupled with the NB mobile photography that pushes the glass to change the light, the dull and bleak picture can always feel the magnificent atmosphere of the characters' hearts, and the aesthetic style of static braking makes people feel Thank you. If the protagonist of Mizoguchi sheds tears, it must be a thousand pounds of salt to apply the dialogue in the film: As long as people's hearts do not change, the...

    How I long for you, isn't life torture? Isn't life endurement? isn't sympathy that makes it worth...

    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...

    This is not Mizoguchi's best work

    "This is not the best work of Kenji Mizoguchi" This is

    not only my personal opinion, but also the opinion of the assistant director of the film. There is an interview with the assistant director about the film's creative process on the DVD, which is worth watching.

    According to the assistant...

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.
