    I think looking for a gun might be a very GAY thing, especially at the end of the arrest, the two men were lying side by side, struggling with each other and suffering separately. Of course, I'm just talking nonsense, this is not a gay text. However, it also shows that the comrade text is actually closer to the water tower to undertake some postmodern and reflective...

    It was also the case that the luggage was picked up when he was discharged from the army. One was a robber who wanted to take revenge on the society, and the other was a policeman who wanted to rectify the society. For Yu Minglang, the anxiety and fatigue of the characters continued to accumulate in the sultry weather. The film faced the post-war mentality problem, whether to continue the brutality or return to...

    The Passion of Murakami, the journey to find a gun to witness the devastated society after the war, is it really that easy to say 'I want to be a good person' after experiencing a brutal war? Isn't the reason why Yuzuo makes Murakami brooding because the former is the latter's post-war (or pre-war?) nemesis (both served during the war)? Therefore, Murakami who wants to be a 'good person' must cross the hurdle of Yuzuo... Looking at the story of Kurosawa Tianwang's gun search, there is probably...

    Akira Kurosawa was also a pioneer of gangster films. This is a movie from 1949, 60 years ago. But it feels similar to today's cop movies. Many of the techniques were borrowed from later Hollywood and Hong Kong police and gangster films, but their ideological artistry is not bad. Lu Chuan's "Looking for a Gun" is a lot worse, although it is a tribute-like...

    Noir/suspense type movies, still Akira Kurosawa with a strong sense of morality/preaching. Akira Kurosawa's films have a very intriguing picture: many elements (people or objects) appear in a single shot, but sometimes the real focus of the film is not in the foreground. Most of the foreground are fans, people playing musical instruments or secondary characters occupy the main part of the picture. With other angle shots, it feels that Akira Kurosawa is intentionally creating a three-dimensional...

    4.5 stars. The post-war trauma sticks like sweat and cannot be shaken off. The sultry heat and suffocation make everyone manic. How to choose a way of survival in a bad environment? Searching is like a storm that has been baptized, the wild dog howls desperately in the flowers, and the singing of children is like hoping that the next generation will eventually...

    One thought becomes a Buddha, another one becomes a demon, different people's different encounters in the chaos after the war. "Society is at fault, but blaming society is an even bigger...

    The heat makes people restless, struggling, and unlovable, like a hell of ruin and suffering. There are many traces of film noir in the narrative and composition, but from "really like a pumpkin field", I still feel that Akira Kurosawa is better to shoot some orthodox themes, the mood is magnificent and magnificent, and the attitude of exposing the evil of people is still too high. I like the group portrait of the police department after the second crime. In the part about guessing the person...

    Akira Kurosawa is too powerful, and his early works are so skilled (many places like the dialogue with "Heaven and Hell"), depicting the post-war society and people's living conditions. The part of Mifune wandering around in the bottom society is so good that it can be described as a dream; many shots are as rigorous as painting compositions, and it can be seen that each scene took a lot of time to sculpt. Grandmaster! (Watching exciting and exciting police and gangster films for two...

Stray Dog quotes

  • 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.
