    I was so stupid. I forgot that it was the entire group behind the telephone line that I was fighting against. I also wished that Zhenxixing could find the account book to turn things around. I thought Moriyama was telling the truth this time. As expected, civil servants would never do anything against their superiors. The hidden turbulent wedding and the scene of grief and anger reproduce the two unforgettable scenes. PS. My friends are really miserable, because for a period of years of...

    Another masterpiece of Emperor Kurosawa, especially the ending, is atmospheric, classic, and dark. In fact, such bureaucratic darkness is staged every day in our world. It is rooted in the system rather than human nature. Good people always end in tragedy because of their kindness. The protagonist fails in his love for Kako, Xenia is cunning and cruel use of his daughter Kako, because there is no evil burden in his heart. The performances of all the actors are...

    Kurosawa adapted Hamlet and continued to watch Japan's post-war reality. The process/outcome of justice and the setting of roles are the opposite of "Heaven and Hell"; the description of the roles of civil servants can be compared with "The Desire of Life" (his lines are not too classic for humans). The first half of the hidden identity revenge process is fascinating. The drama and the director's sound and picture skills are as exciting as "Heaven and Hell". From the opening wedding scene, it...

    Hamlet in Japan after World War II, every step is exactly like a brain surgery; almost all of the film uses a large depth of field, and everyone has nowhere to hide under the camera; when Iwabuchi bowed to the phone for a long time, he was dead. Has completely become a captive of...

    The bad guy not only sleeps the most, but also hides deeply! Until the end of the phone call and bowing to thank you, you may not recognize him as the famous character of Narase movie-Sen Yayuki. And this is in sharp contrast to the highlight of the first act of the wedding, which uses gossip chat with reporters to enhance the clarity of the main characters and their relationships in the film. The two seem to be opposed to light and dark, but their functions are highly consistent: to fully care...
