Sansho the Bailiff

Peaceful tragedy

The tragedy of the Heian period, the forced separation of families under the times, the pursuit of human rights.

Mizoguchi's character-building skills are very deep in this later work. At the beginning, he used multiple reverse-order narratives to form the character of the chef king. Although the narrative time spans a large age, it does not appear fragmented, but instead plays a role in explaining the background and The role of foreshadowing. In the latter part of the chef Wang's...

Tragedy of the individual under the system

Very rare, CC chose Mizoguchi's "Doctor Sanjiao" in 2007. Although this is a work with a completely different style from other Mizoguchi films, its great practical significance and deep historical lessons are worthy of CC's choice.

This is a tragedy! A complete tragedy! The tragedy of a family, even a class! Under this system, as long as you still have some conscience, just as your father said, "If you don't have compassion, you are no different from beasts." .

Sansho is...

The true Heian era is not only about the elegance of the nobility, but also the suffering of the people at the bottom

"Doctor Sansho" is the third film I watched at this festival. Although it is a black and white film from 1954, it can be shot so delicately. Shots and composition are perfect. The acting of the old actors is absolutely superb. Obviously it is a long and complex story, but it is very clear and complete. The background of the story is set in the Heian period in Japan. Most of the works that I usually see about that era describe the elegant life of the nobles, but few of them expose the pain...

"Doctor Sanjiao": The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and there is no shore to turn back

Text / Fleeting World

 At first I thought it was a story of Bethune or a story of a genius doctor hanging a pot to save the world. After entering the film, I found that the pronunciation of the word "big" is da instead of dai. Mr. Mizoguchi Kenji can be said to be the soul of Japanese movies, good at portraying female characters, and this work is no exception. The subtitle narration at the beginning of the story already tells us that this is a tragic story, but the tragedy is also...

don't try to understand

What is unacceptable is that the long shot of Mizoguchi's fixed camera seems to have no expression of position. As a result, I, as the audience, seem to be a part of it, and the soldering iron of the person who wants to escape seems to be hot. is held in my hand. The final imprint is more like being branded on my forehead. In fact, Mizoguchi's meaning is all expressed in the lens. I don't know why, but watching these Japanese movies, I always feel that the expressions of the characters are very...

Excellent film, much more standard than Yuzuki Monogatari. Mizoguchi Kenji is really...

Well, I should watch this first and then Uyuki Monogatari. In this comparison, Yuyue Monogatari is a masterpiece. Mizoguchi's lens is very personal, the black and white tones are perfectly handled, and there are many angles of looking down. I'm not a professional, but this angle is really comfortable. The shortcomings of this film are also a bit obvious, the script is weak, and the characters' hearts are not digged deeper, so even when the language of the film is very good, it still feels a...

Post-war Japan has such a reflective film very well, a song that becomes a clue is a very clever, simple and moving story. The heroine is very beautiful. Check in this movie for the...

The film is very dramatic, and the contradictions are sharp and clear, but it inevitably makes the characters a bit singular. But I heard that Mizoguchi didn't want to make the film as it is now, but had to make a big change to the original idea under the pressure of Daying...
