      Japanese Folk Variations After World War II

      "Trolley Mania" received such a flood of negative reviews that it almost killed Akira Kurosawa's film "Am I going to make a samurai movie that will kill me all my life until I die?" . Can you make a movie that bravely uncovers the scars of the Japanese people and reflects the current social situation, just to be the honest child in the emperor's new clothes, even if he dies in the end, it should be valuable and have no regrets, right? So he made this film. Akira Kurosawa's film is really...

      Rescue and self-help

      Chaotic, blind life, no trajectory to follow, everything is irregular. Because human nature itself is blind and irregular, the existence of each special individual is without precedent. Looking at the people in "A Small Market Without Seasons", it seems that they are looking at all living beings. Today, they don't know what will happen tomorrow, so they have to go on according to the current situation. Today's decision may be a temporary emotional impulse, or it may be based on...

      Akira Kurosawa and Color

      Akira Kurosawa's first color film. As expected of a person who once wanted to be a painter, his control of color is also very good. It's just that he focuses on marginal characters, the theme deviates from the taste of mainstream audiences, and he is destined to suffer a fiasco at the box office.

      Some colors that impress:

      1. Tram-crazy boy: As a mentally retarded, he may be the only happy person in the film, driving away every day in the tram of his imagination. His...

      Probably the most peculiar movie in Akira Kurosawa's films, but it's also my favorite one so far. Life is like a glass bottle of destiny thrown away by God shattered into pieces of different shapes, and the piece that belongs to everyone reflects the Unusual colors, unique textures and...

      The music is great. Akira Kurosawa has big ambitions, but it is not very friendly to ordinary audiences. It wants to be all-encompassing and full of meaning. . Some dream style. However, the type of entertainment is not strong, and it is doomed to fail at the box office. . But it really was a great failure. . The more grandiose and pitiful shadow warriors that appeared later, Chaos must have a direct relationship with the failure of this...

      2018.12.08 at the Film Archive. I watched it together with "I have no regrets about my youth", and it was very sad after reading it. All are wonderful masterpieces. Strangelove Greg said that this is Akira Kurosawa's first color film. The suffering of the people at the bottom always makes me empathize. The destitute father and his begging son fantasized about building a house and a swimming pool. The colorful and fantastical colors and soundtrack are hilarious. Apart from food, their biggest nee

      The part where Yukichi Lame Island brought his colleagues home was wonderful. Akira Kurosawa was unhappy with the actor who played the bad uncle, and the actor asked the assistant director nervously. 渋皮のむけた Female... Negishi Akemi, the old man... Fujiwara Kazuzu.

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is Wind Man's first independent production, and is his first color film   .
    The film was made in just 28 days   .
    Shot in a Tokyo junkyard, the film set up locations and houses in the rubble, and airbrushed sheds and roads in deep pinks, golds and greens. During filming, the ground became colorful because of the chemical reaction between the paint and the rubbish in the dump, which made Wind Man happy...

    Evaluation action

    In this film, Wind Man's use of color is extremely extravagant and bold, and he renders a dilapidated and dirty squatter house like a dream. Originally, the original novel was a realistic work with a strong realism style, but under the design of Wind Man, the film is as publicized as an impressionist painting. Every scene in the film, every actor's clothing, every character's makeup, and every lighting effect can be seen as part of...
