    Although there is no peerless beauty, Tanaka Kinyo's eyes are really catchy, and the few poor close-ups are almost all on the eyes. But the rhythm is really slow enough that it can be divided into two episodes. And is there a worse story than this?...

    Mizoguchi painted another banner picture of feudal society, one scene at a time, one scene and one mirror, appropriate for movement and stillness, forbearance and sadness. If you want to talk about the integration of artistic rendering and tragic art, even if Ozu, Naruse, and Akira Kurosawa in your golden age will be eclipsed in front of...

    Japan Society_Oharu's life may be too beautiful and weak, or too sincere and persistent, which is really nothing. Fate tortured so badly that all ten Korean dramas were used in the plot. As the originator, it was really cruel to start. Sister Matsuko has killed people, and she has only lost her temper once. Photography is really...

    I feel that Mizoguchi, whether it is Japanese aesthetics or compassion for women, is the first of its generation, and the frames of his master-level shots make people tremble. Under the double push of fate and one's own choice, anyone could be A Chun. PS Tanaka Kinyo is over 40 at this time, and it really doesn't fit well when playing a girl, but when it comes to old age dramas, it's really natural, looking at the inadvertent charm between the statues in the temple, it's hard for a little girl...

    The momentary (flashback) memory of Xihe, a woman before the Buddha, extends to recall. Mizoguchi Kenji is not a single era, but a universal cross era. The camera eye of the camera is like the bloodless samurai sword that beheads the young warrior at the beginning of the film, and the undercurrent is surging to complete the "I accuse" process. The encounter with Xihe is not dramatic, but it does contain huge dramatic face masks and physical perception performances. However, it is more drawn...

    Mizoguchi Kenji showed A Chun's terrible life in this film. It is still the signature one scene, one mirror, a large number of sports full-length long shots and single-scene multi-character scheduling. Although the plot design is too dramatic to be deliberate and overdone, the revelation of the status and injustice of women in the feudal era is still very...

    Xihe's life

    The poor and miserable woman
    Kenji Mizoguchi is very kind, and the movie always gives Xihe dignity, humble dignity.
    Mizoguchi Kenji reminds me of
    the finale of Guan Jinpeng's movie, where women help women, albeit humble. Despite working unpopular jobs, despite being a prostitute.
    "We can only help...

  • Katsunosuke: Lady Oharu, a human being - no, woman - can only be happy if she marries for love. Rank and money don't mean happiness.
