Akira Kurosawa never stops thinking about the social situation in Japan after the war, but this film is too idealized from the character to the plot development. And, Director Akira Kurosawa, is he showing off that he owns Muse Mifune? Every close-up and angle made him as handsome as a sculpture of a beautiful Greek teenager,...

The protagonist of the duel is a venereal disease. Being terminally ill and unwilling to drag down the opposite sex, he leaves others out in the cold. The dog-blood drama routine of a youth idol is something that happened half a century after the film was...

During the war, the doctor who was infected with syphilis in surgery continued to struggle with his own desires and insisted on breaking up with his girlfriend. The composition, the use of the weather, and Toshiro Mifune are as beautiful as ever, but the protagonist...

The duel in the quiet night should be said to be an unknown inner struggle. Toshiro Mifune played really well, sometimes he looked like a sculpture under his uniform, utterly refusing to tell the truth, sometimes shrinking into a ball, tasting the absurd life bitterly, watching the dialogue between him and his fiancee, I stood off-screen. He really wanted to shout "Tell her the truth", the gloom in his brow was exactly the same as the sullenness in the drunken angel when he learned that he was...
The Quiet Duel Comments
Top cast
-
Dr. Konosuke Fujisaki: If he had been happy, he might have become just a snob.
-
Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki: I thought I could forget everything when she married. But I can't!
[He walks over to the window]
Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki: I'm fighting desperately now to curb my desires. I feel sorry for myself. Young and fastidious before the war, I suppressed it. It was the same during the war. The thought of Misao and a peaceful home sustained me!
[His voice chokes, and he sits down on the couch]
Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki: But one day, without having fooled around myself, my blood was contaminated by a man's diseased blood!
[He angrily kicks over the chair]
Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki: If I'd known it would happen... it makes me think sometimes!
[He gets up again]
Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki: I don't know when I can satisfy my desires!
[He turns towards Rui]
Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki: Why must I suffer like this? I have syphilis! But it's not my fault or the result of playing around!"
[He begins to cry]
Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki: I'm pure yet my desires unfulfilled! It's intolerable sometimes! But my conscience tries to crush out my physical desires.
[He throws his stethoscope]
Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki: My stupid conscience!
