      pure hindsight

      It is still an obscure emotional expression, various blank and ritual scenes, dim lighting, gloomy sky, the demon-like teenager with a careless indifference set off strange waves for the Xinxuan Group, dealing with several men, Playing with Hijikata's thoughts and disturbing me in front of the screen.

      Asano Tadanobu looks really handsome here, and the sentence he said to Garner [I will do a with you even if I die] is just a lot of flirting! However, there are not many goose scenes....

      Beauty and Evil

      "Government". Oshima Nagisa. 1999.
          Nagisa Oshima's last work was nominated for Best Picture at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival.
          The final winner of that session was "Dancer in the Darkness", which was also a session of brilliant Chinese films. Jiang Wen's "Devils Are Coming" won the Jury Prize, Tony Leung won the Best Actor with "In the Mood for Love", and Yang Dechang relied on "Yi Yi" won Best Director.
          With so much gossip, I just want to say that it's normal for "Yu...

      I'm just a layman who likes beautiful things.

      Knowing the imperial law is because of a book----"Edo Japan"
      I was wandering aimlessly in the municipal library and came across this book. It
      was written by a Japanese-Chinese half-blood about all beings in Edo Castle, Japan,
      life entertainment, eroticism, shogunate, etc. "Story" books are quite interesting
      similar to popular encyclopedias
      . When it comes to erotica, it talks about Japan's "public ways", that is, male sex. When
      talking about the alliance of...

      Why do 100,000 questions and answers in "Royal Law"...

      In the afternoon, I watched "The Imperial Law"——...
      The horror and depression this time are no less than the last "The Senses Kingdom", God... I ca
      n't breathe!

      It is estimated that I have read some film reviews of Nagisa Oshima. This time I watched the film very carefully from the beginning,
      always thinking about the meaning of the characters' actions, the reasons and the relationship with the background of the times, and
      also paid attention to the composition of...

      As beautiful as poppies die like the wind (spoilers)

      I watched a film "The Imperial Law" by Nagisa Oshima in two nights. Since its release in 1999, the film has won numerous awards, not to mention its international influence, setting a record of sweeping 23 awards in Japan. The 15-year-old Matsuda Ryuhei also won various Best Newcomer awards for his debut film.

      Basically, people who like to watch Japanese dramas and Japanese small fresh, healing, pure love movies, love letters from many years ago, and in recent years, "My First Love...

      The last work of Nagisa Oshima, the rotten girl should like it very much. This film actually has 123 people at the same time, which makes the obscure stream of consciousness movie become more dreamy under the constant change of such people. Looking at it from start to finish, it was really fun. You can summarise it in one sentence: "You can say that you didn't understand, but you can't say you didn't see it." Twenty years ago, through the promotional footage, I saw Director Nagisa Oshima was...

      Oshima Nagisa. Takeshi Kitano. Ryuichi Sakamoto. great combination. Song Tian Longping's face is comparable to Lee Junki's beauty, which is really an obsessed face. Hey, what a wow that a man looks so beautiful. No matter what, the face is familiar. It turns out that the lead singer of the band Nanari is 이잖아! The translation of the subtitles team is quite good, meticulous and profound. 1865 Tokugawa shogunate period about...

      Samurai also like to explode chrysanthemums, including Kitano Takeshi and the commander Kondo who may explode each other, and the story of the alliance of chrysanthemums, haha. Then, under the command of the commander, Tadanobu Asano killed Tadanobu Asano, and Kitano Takeshi was furious when he suspected that Garner was the real...

      The second film of Nagisa Oshima, the first film of Takeshi Kitano and Tadanobu Asano, and the third film of Ryuhei Matsuda that I have seen are all good directors, but I don’t understand it a...

    The time was 1865 and the location was Kyoto, one of the ancient capitals of Japan.
    The headquarters of the Xinseng Group is located in a tall temple. In the training hall, a competition is underway to assess the swordsmanship of the new recruits. Commander Isamu Kondo and his lieutenant Tokata Suizo watched the battle. The best swordsman in the army, Souji Okita, was examining the candidates.
    Two people were taken over: Kana Sosaburo, a...

    Evaluation action

    "Gohatto" is a subtle anti-Bushido film about the story of a beautiful samurai who joined the new writers group, causing the whole organization to fall into chaos due to undercurrents of eroticism. Nagisa Oshima boldly used Ryuhei Matsuda, letting its jade-like beautiful face play the ultimate work in the film, and presenting the bloody beauty of the samurai fighting very contagiously. The poetic and timeless pictures, the deep and...
