    In the hot weather, not only people's hearts, but also a society that has been festering for a long time. Taking the young police officer's "losing the gun - looking for the gun" as the starting point, he excavated the harsh environment of post-war Japanese society layer by layer, showing the suffering of all beings in Ukiyo-e. Both are veterans, but they face different situations of chasing and fleeing. The definition of "wild dog" depends on whether it is wild or good, and it also depends on...

    The master's version of "Looking for the Gun" is always a suspense-building method that slows down the villain one step, and it will show fatigue in the later stage. The three boats with exaggerated and unshaved beards in "Rashomon" were imprinted in their minds, and they suddenly turned into a small student in suits and leather shoes in "Drunken Muddy Angels" and this film, which is really more shocking than the plot. Back to the story and the theme: military personnel have stolen things when...

    The film explores Japan's mood in its painful recovery after the war, and is considered a forerunner of contemporary police and gangster films and tough-guy film genres. The process of "hunting a gun" is also a tour of various post-war social classes, just like Jia Zhangke's "The World" style. "intensive totality". The heat wave in Tokyo's summer after the war, the layers of sweat permeating people's skin, seems to be some kind of sensory imprint left by the film to future generations. How does...

    I don't think there is any suspense. I did spend a lot of space to exaggerate the status quo of post-war Japanese society, and the attitude seems to be not "optimistic" but realistic, about guns, crimes, and "you will forget Yuzuo". It may be over-explained, or it may be exactly what Kurosawa Akira...

    8.5 It was like the heat, making people drowsy but sweaty and sticky, a devastated post-war Japan, the living conditions of the people at the bottom, and at the end, two dogs were tired and lay in the grass, and singing children walked by, The mad dog howled...

    The half-hour video of the first half of a person looking for a gun alone has a strong social documentary quality. After entering the main line of solving the case, the combination of old and young police detectives is very similar to the "Seven Deadly Sins" of later generations. The hot summer, gloomy sky and heavy rain, even the environment has been set properly, and a new genre has been opened up from now on. The two climax scenes of waiting on the phone and finally catching the murderer are...

    In the opening chapter, the wild dog sticks out its tongue to speed up its breathing to dissipate heat in the hot summer, and observes the world with keen eyes. The unbearable weather is mentioned in Kurosawa Akira's writings. In my opinion, it is not a simple explanation of the natural environment. It is more like a human environment: impetuous and impatient. Just like the general mental state of the Japanese people after the war, they were extremely depressed, depressed and depressed. The...

    In the turbulent society in the transition period, good dogs and mad dogs live together. Look at the scene scheduling, look at the shooting skills, look at the rhythm of the narrative, and at the end, when the summer rain suddenly falls and the sun rises, what shines in the sky is the heart of a caring and forgiving...
