    Earlier than "Looking for a Gun", it was also looking for a gun. There is a contrast between the old and new detectives. The special issue of the film is compassion and reflection on the murderer, thereby projecting social problems. This big environment is bad, and all people will become...

    The plot is a bit awkward, and Shimura Joe is fascinated. The performance of these old actors is too good to...

    "Chrysanthemum" chapter of Akira Kurosawa's works. The so-called wild dog, alluding to the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry (as the saying goes). Through the case of the loss of the pistol, this film gradually deepens, like peeling an onion, and explores the mental state of the Japanese people after the...

    The chase scenes at the beginning and the end, the realism of post-war Japanese society, the influence of the environment on human nature, the originator of the "gun hunt" story. . . Brother's admiration for the movie emperor is like scouring the river. ....

    The war made the Japanese fall into a kind of collective anxiety. The external manifestation was the unbearable heat, and some people became mad dogs with their tongues out and bites. It's not right for a mad dog to bite, but it's important to think about what makes a good man a mad dog. In essence, although it should be classified into the category of social reasoning, Akira Kurosawa's depth obviously exceeded his juniors. Like Nintendo, he is both Japan and the...

    8.0/10. Telephoto + composite, the aspect ratio is still perfect (the old-school concept of space without obstructions). The theme and routine of this film are actually quite similar to "Heaven and Hell", but the female pickpocket looks up at the starry sky, and a group of children sings and walks when the criminal is subdued. It is definitely a stroke of genius! A beautiful Tahara that brings back humanity. No matter how bad the society is, you must be a ''Wild Dog'' like the...

    Akira Kurosawa was not satisfied with the film: "I wanted to make a Simonnon-esque film, but I failed. Everyone liked the film, but I didn't, it was too technical." , I think it's a masterpiece, although the voice-over at the beginning of the movie is a bit superfluous, and the paragraph of Toshiro Mifune disguised to look for a gun is too long, but the flaws are not concealed, and it is full of...

    War madly divides good and evil, and art in troubled times is always the pinnacle of the times. In contrast, all the imitations of younger generations are embarrassing in different contexts, including Lu Chuan's "Looking for a Gun", which was raped and given birth by Jiang...

    The police officer dressed up as a retired veteran, like a ronin after the Meiji era, saying goodbye to the glory of an era and devoting himself to a frail life. At this time, Akira Kurosawa had a strong desire to express his thoughts, and the images were filled with excitement. To a certain extent, he and his works represented the anxiety and confusion of Japan. In the hot summer, the breathless phone ringing, lying in the comfort of the flowers. Towards good or evil, the choice after lost...

    Among the three films I watched today, the filming time was the earliest and Toshiro Mifune was the youngest and most handsome—of course, he is also very attractive when he is more mature! The theme is somewhat similar to that of "Heaven and Hell", which connects many events through "searching for guns", reflecting the trauma caused by the war and the suffering of the middle and lower classes after the war. The montage and soundtrack of Mifune stalking the pickpocket made me feel like a golden...

  • Det. Sato: We want to see Namiki.

    [the show director, a tall young man with thick, limp hair, slumps down in a chair and holds an electric fan to his face]

    Girlie Show director: [lazily] Harumi's out today. She's a real problem, that one. One little comment and she takes the day off. She's quiet all right, but the quiet ones are always the most stubborn. And she's sick right now.

    Det. Sato: She's sick?

    Girlie Show director: With her monthlies, you know. They're always impossible then.

  • Harumi's mother: Harumi, you must tell them everything you know.

    Harumi Namaki, showgirl: I don't know what I don't know.
