Stern, harsh, like Imamura Shohei's uncritical perspective, like the metaphors about snakes, frogs, mantises, mice, all kinds of animals, heaven and earth are inhumane, everything is a...

The cold and wet coexist between humans and beasts, and the brutality is brutal. The dignity of women's personality, the tenacity of personality, and the brilliance of rationality and morality; allegorical, positive and negative mirror words imply that A Ling is going to stay, and empty scenes are interspersed with meanings, praising the will of motherhood to continue social civilization. Compared with the Kinoshita version, it is more realistic, highlights the differences of the working class,...

I understand the most primitive state of human beings that Changping wants to express. It is not because he expresses too naked that I am disgusted, but I think this way is too arbitrary. In addition, the aesthetics of the film can only be said that I do not appreciate it very...

Pretty awesome movie. In my opinion, it is the beginning of the discussion of human beings, the way of heaven vs. the way of humanity. In the discussion, everyone regards the maintenance of naturalness as human nature, which is exactly what makes the film...

Belief systems, moral concepts of life and death, gender kinship, and punishment systems generated under specific circumstances. Like ethnography, after the reincarnation of the four seasons, the life of the deep mountain villages unfolds little by little. Just like the pictures of animals that appear from time to time, people just live like that, and people just live to live. All kinds of "ridiculous, terrible, pitiful" behaviors, as a bystander, will have their own judgments, but when the...

Seemingly nonchalant, it is actually heart-wrenching, calming the human violence and desire under the camera. Shohei Imamura's "Narayama Festival Kao" is the original country epic of the Japanese nation. It depicts the erotic behavior and good and evil behaviors of Japanese mountain people in extreme poverty without any point of view, and it also conveys this attitude completely. Audience, this is essentially a reflection and presentation of human beings, so it is...

25 years, a cycle of 25 years! Stepping on the bones, Chen Ping has completed his mission, and the limited life silently loves to death. At that moment, Po Ling seemed to be my grandmother, which made me cry. Revering the mountain god, revering life, the mother's great mission during childbirth, the son will return to the mountain after a few years, this is not only a reincarnation, the younger generation inherits the special mission and task of the elders to survive,...

Returning to the beginning of human beings, we will refine the misery of life and the sadness of death to the surface. Although Imamura is very annoying to Ozu, I think if Ozu makes this film, the aftertaste will definitely last longer, especially the last part of going up the...

Snow, mud, green grass, appetite and sexual desire. What are we living for? Imamura Shohei is so fierce...

Return to the most original original, restore the most authentic authenticity. Imamura Shohei pulled people down to the same level as animals, and then pushed them back to the altar. An ode to sex and death, a great tribute to life. In terms of technique, it feels a lot more skilled than...
