    Mr. Mifune has become the benchmark of the universe in these two movies in 1949 (the other is a wild dog), and the youth is gradually fading, but there is still a freshman's sharpness. I watched him for the first time, and I feel very sorry Akira Kurosawa, so I read it a second or three times. The humanitarianism shown in this film is still a bit superficial, but you can also see the evolutionary trajectory of...

    The full display of Japanese nationality is to closely combine professional ethics with human morality. Aside from what is high and complete, let’s not talk about the main theme, maybe it is just the main theme in our eyes. We have been blinded by propaganda for so many years, but in others, it may be just the most basic professional ethics, love one’s work and work hard, and put one’s own The belief in life is carried out in the work, which should be the meaning of the "craftsman" spirit, the...

    After the filming of "Drunken Angel", did you make this film again? Emperor Kurosawa is stepping back! The disease is used as a metaphor for war, but the expression of forbearance throughout this article makes the catharsis and cleansing at the end of Mifune completely...

    An era without condoms

    If there were condoms, the movie wouldn't exist. Because there is no condom, the doctor played by Mifune suppresses his desires and feelings and does not marry his fiancée. This doctor is a good man, he treats sick children very kindly, saves the pregnant dancer and takes her in, and encourages her...

    "Silent Duel": An extreme Kurosawa Akira

    Solo lau/Wen

            Not every movie made by a master is a masterpiece, at least Kurosawa Akira's movie is not like that. Under normal circumstances, if the plan of a movie does not meet the wishes of the movie emperor, he will take a very direct attitude to deal with it. For example, "The Sequel...

The Quiet Duel quotes

  • 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!
