Records of the Living - Toshiro Mifune

The controversial film "Records of the Living" is considered to be Akira Kurosawa's most failed work. I don't think it is unreasonable. It is really difficult to understand the deeper meaning that Akira Kurosawa wants to express. Every director with an international reputation is not only a filmmaker, he is also a Shakespeare in the film industry, a thinker. But in this film, I didn't understand this old man named Xiyi. From the beginning...

I accept the fate of death, but I do not accept murder.

"Records of the Living Man" is one of Kurosawa Akira's works that has received little attention. The old man played by Toshiro Mifune is the owner of a coal mine. After he heard that the United States and the Soviet Union were conducting a hydrogen bomb test, the radiation would spread to Japan. In order to avoid radiation pollution, he decided to flee with his family to Brazil. However, in order to keep their lives unaffected, the children opposed their father's plans, and even used laws to...

"Records of the Living Man" by Akira Kurosawa: Aftermath of the War

Behind the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, the shadow of war is tangled. Individuals appear vulnerable under the torrent of the times. The sequelae of war exist in every corner of life like germs. The struggle of little people is not a kind of war. Complain?

"Records of the Living" depicts the inner world of the little people, showing the inner struggle of the protagonist Xiichi in terms of expressions, movements, language, behavior, etc. The exaggerated facial expressions are far...

YOLO, you only live once.

YOLO, you only live once.
You only live once , the representative slogan of this generation.
Life is priceless, so don't get too crazy, it's not worth the risk.
You should understand that we are still young, so don't be silly!
Don't trust anyone easily, because you only have one life.
You only live once, that's a motto.
So take more tranquilizers and relax your nerves.
Don't go to loud nightclubs, because it's bad for your eardrums and your friends will all...

The fetters of civilization

He has always held high respect for Akira Kurosawa, on the one hand because of his international reputation, and more because of his attention to human nature. He once said that the greatest ideal in his life was to change Japan's shameful political system. It is a pity that he failed, so what we have seen and heard of Japanese politics is no different from before the war; it is very fortunate that he failed, so we did not see a good person being swallowed by the ugliness of politics, we can...

The most subtle part of the story of a star person who is not anxious will die and frighten himself stupid is that at the end, the black master's portrayal of family relationships and selfishness of human nature is too...

Rather than depicting the aftermath of the war in Japan at that time, it is a representation of the fear of the Cold War, which had just entered its fierce stage, and the arms race involving nuclear weapons. At the same time, the description of the male protagonist's "persecution delusional disorder" and the different reactions of his family to his behavior can also be seen as Kurosawa's innuendo to the complex side of ordinary family relationships. The male protagonist's paranoid behavior...

Mifune's acting skills light up the whole film. The title of the film is too focused on nuclear radiation, and it always feels too...
