    The man who started to love was not free, and the man who loved himself was killed directly. The next step is to give birth to a surrogate. After giving birth to a child, she became a prostitute. From this, she began a tragic life. In the middle, a husband who loved her died after a brief relationship with her. When she meets a man who respects her as a bodhisattva in her old age, the director is telling about the suffering of human beings and the fragility of the earth. Firmly oppose the...

    These days, because of exams, I haven't had much time to watch movies, and the marks are all supplementary marks. Taking advantage of the lack of online classes this afternoon, I quickly made up for this movie. I can only say that I was still young back then, and I didn’t like Mizoguchi and liked Kurosawa, but now I look at Mizoguchi’s oriental movies quite well. He also does not rely solely on rhythm to reflect his own characteristics, but adds the hazy feeling of environmental relationships...

    On June 26, 1940, at the Kyoto Railway Station, the train slowly entered the platform. Kenji Mizoguchi had a straight suit, straightened his waist, and stood solemnly on the platform. He rarely greeted the actor Tanaka Kinyo who came from Tokyo in person. This is the first time the two have...

    Mizoguchi's style is everywhere, tragic female themes (usually prostitutes or geishas), moving long shots, linear narratives, the mystery and variability of light and shadow, but whether this theme can withstand scrutiny, and such a theme What is the practical significance? Not just personal...

    Generally speaking, it is still a very traditional film. Mainly large panorama and medium shots. Move the camera slowly and smoothly. Overhead shooting accounted for the majority, stingy with happiness scenes, meticulous descriptions of suffering, past and present narrative patterns, performance of back figures, hidden narratives, and low-key handling of climax scenes. I wrote a large comment and finally it was all gone, I was going to go...

    Slightly longer. As gloomy as Naruse. What fascinates me most is Oharu's "calmness", she still maintains the basic "gentleness and weakness" under various extreme conditions; Matsushita's life is very tribute to this film, although the taste is completely different: Tanaka Kinyo Her gestures are full of flavor. Although she is still charming as a young girl over forty, she likes the two most contrasting paragraphs: cat and hair, and mad at the uncle who uses her to "educate" young...

    The woman before the Buddha is compassionate, and the woman before the Buddha is compassionate. Suffering here is constant, and suffering here is...

    Mizoguchi filmed a weak woman who is immortal. The humiliation of a lifetime can be carried by just the words of patience and humiliation. There is no need to laugh at destiny like "The Legend of the Vagabond", and there is no need for "When a woman steps up the stairs" like a moth into the fire. . Immortal as humble in the soil, immortality is already a victory in...
