    2017132 This film must have been made to sing praises by an inexperienced director, but the emperor can dig out the humanity from each character and draw the depth of the story to the maximum. The silent duel is a confrontation between morality and desire, the recurring iron fence is the image of imprisonment, the conflict between "repression" and "endurance", "pain" and "hope", "tradition" and "freedom". Coexistence or the best footnote of postwar Japanese society.

    20171218le. Akira Kurosawa, the main theme after the war, a good doctor for everyone, would be even more mediocre if it weren't for the monologue at the end. What is remarkable is that Kurosawa tries to make everyone three-dimensional. The story doesn't go in the direction you expect. The title refers to the duel between human nature and desire. Compared to other works, this one is too forbidding and depressing.

The purpose is obvious. If the background of this era is not considered, it is impossible to resonate with...

    It seems that Kiriko Chiishi is better than Mifune or Shimura Taka~ Although I thought she was bad at first. about growth. Shimura Joe finally hugged Qianshi's son and said, "The child's mother is also an adult." Mifune has also grown, but it is not as obvious as the help of "Seven Samurai" Satoshimura Joe. Nor is it as obvious as "Redbeard" that Mifune really becomes someone else's sen sai. Miki Sanjo ran to get married in the middle of the performance, which made Akira Kurosawa very...

    Real social contradictions in postwar Japan. Studio shooting, the light is very blunt. The smiling faces of the underlying patients. Railings change seasons. Broken glass at the end, broken glass. Camera movement, Hollywood seamless...

    It can be regarded as a link between the previous and the next. The narrative structure is not handled well. At the beginning, the source of syphilis is concise and powerful, and then it is laid out until the bleakness on the fence, which seems to be a dichotomous structure, and then Nakata reappears, which is complicated, the focus is not prominent, the theme is not clearly explained, and it flows into the lower layers. However, Akira Kurosawa's audio-visual language has begun to take shape,...
