      Read the red medicine by the river, for whom every year


      She is a black cat, with eyebrows like stars and hoofs like snow, wandering outside Luocheng Gate every night, and the generals who were swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger with a golden horse and iron horse died in front of her. He is a hero. When he returned triumphantly from the battlefield in armor, the carved columns and jade blocks were no longer there.
      The emperor said, General, there is a black cat in the mountains that harms people every night. I will send you to...

      The samurai’s self-esteem is lingering for seven days. Who killed my wife and mother?

      Kuroneko, directed by Kaneto Shindo, is a very complicated dark love story. Unlike many other films with similar background setting, we cannot see justice over evil at the end, and the conflict between samurais and ghosts are left unsolved. There is no right answer in the film, at least the director didn't give that intention. I think one reason why Shindo designed the story like that was directly related to his Japanese philosophy and the difference in thinking from western culture. His...

      The poetic fear of Kanato Shinto

      The master series produced three consecutive works by Kanto Shinto: "Naked Island", "Black Cat", and "The Haunt". This shows that Kanto Shinto, a Japanese film master, has attracted more and more attention from the world, and these three works Each presents a different style. If "Naked Island" and "The Haunt" are more focused on human nature, then "Black Cat" is more poetic and fearful because it involves ghosts and ghosts.
      As a student of Mizoguchi Kenji, "Black Cat" is full of respect...

      Black cat

      Early Japanese horror films. Many of the early things will look better than the bells and whistles now. Little Japan, which is known for its horror films, is no exception. This film does not resemble Liao Zhai as the overall narrative style of the film that is purely scary and scary nowadays. The film is black and white, so the highlighting effect of light and shadow is particularly good. After watching it, there is no regret for the performance of the picture because it is a black and white...

      Strange talk-style works with deep artistic conception, indoor dramas use the depth of field to create a sense of darkness, bamboo forest dramas add terror due to the late night, and the many bones who died under the claws of cats and demons express the director's critical attitude towards war. The dance in the corridor has the meaning of Noh drama, which also shows the inheritance of Shindo Kanto to...

      It's quite scary to watch at night, and the story is quite simple, but the black and white special effects and sound effects of the year created a very powerful atmosphere of terror. It's a pity that the makeup of the old Japanese era affects the...

      Humans and ghosts have different paths, and they become demons due to resentment, but they are relatives but cannot recognize each other. The pleasure and arrogance of the aristocracy, the savagery of the warrior class, the misery of the poor peasant class....
