    Downright tragic. For some reason, Tanaka Kinyo is the most classically Japanese actress she's ever seen, despite her 42-year-old role as a young girl with an ordinary...

    Every time the heroine's situation changes, the interception point is "segmented", and the emergence of a new perspective of power connects the narrative, emphasizing "invasion". I have to say that the model of a biopic where a woman is forced to become a prostitute seems a bit outdated now, but the high degree of integration between the play and audiovisual makes the plot very exciting. The deeper image is: a high-angle aerial shot in a brothel "Feeding the fish" is scheduled, followed by the...

    One star for the woman, one for the mother, one for the story, one for the destiny, and one for the director. It feels that the fate of women here is almost the same as the strength of women shown by Almodóvar. Women are magical...

    At the beginning, I saw the lover's face when I looked at the Buddha statue, which was a bit like a novel in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but unfortunately this scene was handled... This "one look" is actually anti-movie. In the play, "miserable" is over, Ihara Nishizuru doesn't seem to mean...

    some questions. 1. Juandai is in her 40s, and her role as a girl is a bit mismatched, and she looks old. In addition, the face with fat round and small eyes is really not good-looking. 2 years did not change significantly. The introduction begins with her old memories, but because the makeup has not changed much, the audience does not know when the scene changed to her young age. 3 Maybe it's because of the subtitles, the plot is a bit confusing--Obviously, she was sold to a singing place by...

    Reading books, watching movies, following books and looking for the director's movies, it seems that Tanaka Kinyo: "Wangxiang"'s Aqi Po has a role...

    Ten days to report the ninth, fill the 33rd part of Mizoguchi Kenji. Adapted from "Lady Generation", the heroine's setting is completely opposite. The smooth long-shot scheduling and sound effects of the soundtrack make the plot reverse between the houses and the pavilions. The title and the three-fleet duo show different heights in the angles selected by the camera to show the identity gap. The men she once had represented the identities of different classes in the entire feudal society, and...
