    "Rain" mainly comes from traditional Japanese aesthetics, but it is a version modified by women and anti-war complexes. There is a kind of magic-realism relationship: in the intimate emotional space of Fujibei and Wakasa, a delicate The sense of form and the oriental "shadow" aesthetics replace the realism of the previous chaos.

    It is not as ethereal as imagined, but it is very realistic and has a taste of moral exhortation. The two male protagonists are really not as interesting as the female characters, and they are relatively thin.

    [Shanghai Film Festival Screening] 4K restoration version. The struggle of little people to survive in troubled times is both absurd and pitiful as well as deplorable. Ghosts are fascinated, Nanke has a dream, and there is a time to wake up.

The female ghost in the film is not scary, but rather pitiful. The camera...
