      Red Beard--Kurosawa Akira's Classic Work

      The last time I watched [Red Beard] was nearly 20 years ago, on the big screen. I only remembered that it looked good, but I had few special memories. Looking at it again, I was so shocked that I even had to stop and breathe a sigh of relief. The reading experience is completely different.

      [Red Beard] is by no means Kurosawa Akira's greatest...

      Movie Notes

      1. Arrangements that seem unreasonable may have their rationality behind them. There is no need to criticize them in a hurry. Let’s talk about county investigation and research;

      2. Look at people and see the mainstream. A person may be unreasonable and arrogant. It may just be because he has no time to talk, and the ultimate goal in his heart is not here. As long as his ultimate goal is what he should do, nothing else matters. Of course, character cannot be settled.

      3. Three...

      Redbeard and its redemption

      This is a film work directed by Akira Kurosawa. It was released in 1965. It should be regarded as an old film. Old films usually give people a sense of being out of the world, but "Redbeard" does not, even if the story takes place in a long time and a distant place.
            The film mainly tells the story of Yasumoto, a medical graduate from Nagasaki who wanted to be a doctor for the general, when his father asked him to go down to visit Niide (the red beard, named after the reddish beard),...

      The true master of healing, Akira Kurosawa

      The reason for watching "Redbeard" for the second time was to see a post-view comment written five years ago:

      "Two points are not good. 1. The character's character is not full enough. The red beard is good, but it is not good. The biggest disadvantage of human nature is that it is too ruthless and paralyzed. It is not like this, Zeming. 2. Typical Eastern traditional thinking, Rational morality is not divided by duality, and it is backward, Zeming-kun!”

      I wanted to see if...

      what

      I haven't cried for a long time, and I finally cried when I saw it. Akira Kurosawa really deserves to be the emperor of the movie, which is really admirable. Let me talk about my thoughts first. My grandfather and grandmother are also doctors. Sometimes my grandfather can’t come home for dinner at noon, and my grandmother will be very nervous when she hears the patient’s shouting. The so-called doctor’s benevolence is just like that. Furthermore, it is the simplicity of the common people. On...

      Messenger of justice? For human nature, being too clear-cut will make people feel dogmatic, so it will breed distance and breed distrust, even if you take ten thousand steps back and say that these are...

      A three-hour film is best to watch in three days, which is almost three stages. Need to experience carefully. The feeding part is the most touching. The scene where the doctor was found eating was later used in "Chaos". Thief Boys later appeared in "Trolley...

      The three-hour flight from Xi'an to Urumqi, when I landed, I just finished watching this film, and my heart shook with the end of the film. Poverty is not terrible, and being sick because of poverty is a bottomless abyss, just like the last It's like a well leading to the center of the earth, but we still have to hope, even if it's just a rippling drop of...

    Movie plot

    As a doctor trainee, Bao Bento lived in the Koishikawa Sanatorium. He had been eager to study in Nagasaki, and he was very dissatisfied with this old and dilapidated place. Out of a rebellious mentality, Teng turned a deaf ear to the various prohibitions in the sanatorium, and did not respect the new head of the Ding Ding who kept Chi ひ げ, and he looked for trouble everywhere. Chi ひ げ receives poor patients every day and quietly...

    Evaluation action

    "赤ひげ" is a long film full of or full of excessive humanitarianism. Wind Man tries to describe the hospitals in the Edo period and the doctors and patients in them. Those patients continue to die and leave. Wind Man is compassionate. Thoughts leaped on the screen. Toshirô Mifune's 赤ひげ is more of a spiritual help to patients, and Wind Man's demand for details proves that he is a person who will commit suicide if he fails to do his own...

    Movie quotes

    • Dr. Kyojô Niide: [At Lord Matsudaira's mansion: the overweight lord and his chamberlain are being counseled by Dr. Niide] As I've said, you're not ill, my lord. But you're in much worse condition. It is due to a life of luxury and ease. You indulge in rich food, you hold nothing heavier than chopsticks. Fat gathers, intake and discharge lose their balance.

      Dr. Kyojô Niide: [Now reviewing the lord's menu with the chamberlain] I told you that white rice is detrimental to his health... One bowl of seven parts wheat and three parts rice at each meal... No fowl, meat or eggs... And not too much fish or salt...

      Dr. Kyojô Niide: [the overweight lord looks on, obviously distressed that he's being put on a strict diet] Keep to this for 100 days.

    • Tokubei Izumiya: Pardon my abrupt question, but is it true that doctors play no part in life and death?

      Dr. Kyojô Niide: It seems so.

      Tokubei Izumiya: The people meant to live recover, and those meant to die pass away? Doctors have nothing to do with it?

      Dr. Kyojô Niide: It may mean that.

      Tokubei Izumiya: Bad and good doctors are the same, then? Expensive medicines and those sold in pharmacies are the same? Of course, an eminent doctor like yourself is different, I am sure...

      Dr. Kyojô Niide: Don't make me an exception. Don't hold back. Say what's on your mind.

      Tokubei Izumiya: I'm afraid I have displeased you.

      Dr. Kyojô Niide: Of course not. All doctors have to butter up rich men.

    • Dr. Handayu Mori: [In the background, the women cooks can be heard calling Chobo's name into a well. Tsugawa is confused by this] The cooks are calling Chobo back. There's a belief that if you call into a well, you can call a dying person back. Wells lead to the bottom of the earth.
