Seeing the physical discomfort, in addition to carrying the old man up the mountain and throwing it away, there are also self-mutilation, burying alive, hanging and beating, sharing wives, bestiality (that is, Japanese dogs)... A large collection of all kinds of savage and primitive wonders. In the last half hour of going up the mountain, the beast and human nature and divinity appeared...

After reading the Imamura version, I realized how awesome the Kinoshita version is. Of course, the Imamura version is also good, and it has been misled all the time. In fact, the Imamura version is the one who doesn't follow the original, and it's not...

Compared with the previous work, the theme of reincarnation is more prominent. The director spent a lot of ink to describe the pain of...

The four seasons change the natural law of life cycle, the survival of living beings, mating, breeding, flocking, feeding the flesh, driving the gods, building gods, beliefs, and seeking the redemption of the soul are indeed the lack of human existence. The near-silent Mount Tonara is filled with a non-religious holy spirit that is moving, and the mother's sudden disappearance reappears and reveals the son's contradiction. Then set off to look directly at the truth with a subjective lens. The...

In the face of Narayama, Kinoshita Keisuke said that I made a story about sending my mother up the mountain, and Imamura Shohei said that I would not only shoot the story, but also the people in the village at the bottom of Narayama (human nature is good and evil, desires rise). Compared with the previous version of knowing to die but having no choice but to go up the mountain, here it reflects the belief in the rules (the sacrifice of the mountain god), and there is no doubt (even if the...

A movie worth exploring. When people live in such an environment, what is it that promotes reproduction and development? What do the animals that appear many times in the film metaphorize and represent? I can't wait to see the 50's...

The main creator calmly and restrained paints a picture of the survival form of primitive society. In the environment of food shortage, people rely on gods and tacit understanding to form a cruel order of mutual observance. The use of metaphorical montage is excellent, weaving a vivid scene of animal survival. In the end, Chen Ping accepted the survival mechanism of this kind of reproduction, and the only sympathy was the sudden heavy snow, which brought false comfort and temporarily covered...

As a foreigner, my first impression is to watch it as a folk film (a little bit of the experience of Westerners watching red sorghum). Second, we will focus on larger themes such as human nature. Japanese pictures of poor farmers are always true, but domestic pictures are either exaggerated or...
