    This world can't bear to watch, π_π. The director has a lot of love. The slave owner is only one person, and there are so many slaves, but they have not united to resist. The male protagonist liberated the slaves because Zu Yin became an official. Although he was happy, the internal logic was also very absurd. There is no complicated reason for a person who is a slave one day and a boss the next day. After all, freedom leads the people. But freedom is in the heart of...

    9.7/10. ①Highly original passages: An Shou went to the river to die, poignant and brave; Yumu called his children by the river, helpless and sad with a bit of a terrifying atmosphere; ②A lot of realistic/immersive deep focus and long shots; ③Throughout High-level and beautiful (considering that the movie set is very simple and there are not too many frames, it can be said to be very awesome) various composition/mirror/scheduling/etc.; ④ The beauty of photography sets off the tragedy of tragedy;...

    Technically good! It's not tiring or procrastinating at all. It's different from those master directors who want to give you punches every second, and the information is dense and breathless. Comfort is another kind of skill. Emotional trickle. The hero's height, top hat. Superb omission. Kagawa Kyoko and Tanaka Kinyo are great... It turns out that the king of cooks when he was a child was played by Masahiko...

    Pity. In the middle, there is a wonderful point: the son of the slave owner runs away, and the son of an honest official becomes a slave and becomes an executioner until he inherits the rank of his deceased father as an official. Slave-bureaucrat-slave-owner tension and humane digging should look good. The subject matter includes the one that moves the mirror closest to Akira Kurosawa. Losing a name, who takes the name, the name into the song emphasizes the search for situation, identity, and...

    The last time it was marked was July 9, 2008. Today, I finally rewatched the film in the cinema, and the L'image cristal in Deleuze's mouth echoed over and over again. Some memories turn to what Teacher S looked like in class that year, and even saw him walking. Apart from the film technique, the idea of ​​this film is too submissive, too personal, too tragic, too idealistic, and now I don't like it nor accept it at all. In addition, I personally feel that the whole film was made in a hurry. It...

    Speaking of Zhanjie, Ogai Mori, Kenji Mizoguchi, the writers and the photographers, after all, the more cruel content was discarded. Life is so miserable, compassion is so difficult, unbearable, unbearable. Baoji also acted in this drama "An Shou and the Chef King", which is the only treasure drama I've ever seen in which the hero and heroine are not lovers but sisters and brothers. In the future, it will probably never be repeated...

    There is still a strong sense of terror in this tragedy. The nunnery scam without any warning was a silent evil thought, which has shrouded the three people since then. The women paid too much to protect the man. The younger sister sent her brother to escape with the power of death. The mother was humiliated and finally waited until the mother and son were reunited. It's over. The opening soundtrack got me...

    It is disappointing that the omitted editing in many places makes the film lose time. We have no way of knowing why Dr. Sanjiao has come to this point, nor does he understand that the younger sister, who seems to be purely to reflect the sacrifice of women, is obsessed with finding her mother. In addition, the role of the male protagonist does not stand up. In the narration, it is natural to omit growing up and cannot explain the sudden change when he and his sister went up the mountain to...

Sansho the Bailiff quotes

  • Zushiô: [quoting his father] "Without mercy, man is not a human being."

  • Masauji Taira: [Speaking to his son Zushio on the verge of being exiled and separated from his family] Zushio, I wonder if you'll become a stubborn man like me. You may be too young to understand, but hear me out anyway. Without mercy, man is like a beast. Even if you are hard on yourself, be merciful to others. Men are created equal. Everyone is entitled to their happiness.
