      Indoor Rivers and Lakes: A Brief Analysis of the Multi-Character Indoor Plays in Kurosawa's Modern Movies

      Chapter 1 Introduction

      As an important driving force for the development of world cinema, Japan had created a lot of sparks for avant-garde, realist, and nationalist films before World War II. The "anti-critical reality" policy implemented by fascists during the war for many years provided a certain amount of soil for the emergence of excellent Japanese films after the war. Among this group of filmmakers is Akira Kurosawa, who has had a great influence on...

      Thick black

      When I returned to China this time, I bought a collection of Kurosawa Akira's movies in the bookstore. The original intention was to spend a few book coupons. The second intention is that I really want to systematically take a good look at the master's movies. Make up for the narrow mindset of watching Hollywood handsome and beautiful women when I was young.

      Yesterday, I stuck my nose and picked one up and read it. Because I saw it with English subtitles, I only remembered the...

      No legal sanctions

      Kurosawa's films have various themes. This one is actually about politics and is an anti-corruption film. It is nearly 40 years before China began to have corruption-related TV dramas in the 1990s.

      The protagonist is still Toshiro Mifune. He is all-rounder like the director. He can fly and be calm, but domineering and weak. In this film, he wears black-rimmed glasses and plays the role of a son-in-law who bears his father’s vengeance and does not share the sky. He is...

      Master lens

      One line and frame

      The film uses a lot of lines and boxes

      Character

      Or quarantine

      Or trapped

      Lines separate everyone

      A matter of mind

      A beautiful wedding

      "Sweet Dreams of the Evil Man"-Half a Good Show

      Master Kurosawa’s films always combine the various aspects of Japanese society with the film philosophy he pursues, and a masterpiece is born. In "Sweet Dreams of the Evil Man", Akira Kurosawa once again offered the theory of human nature evil (this is the same as the director of the old Ku that he admires most), and it seems that he is even the originator of "The Godfather" (seemingly A sharp contrast between a festive wedding and a dark family). Toshiro Mifune and Moriyama performed quite...

      Watching Akira Kurosawa's films always has a feeling of "I will listen to you for the moment because you are so awesome in scheduling the composition and...

      Akira Kurosawa-style black suspense films are a bit more watery than the fast-paced suspense films now. Mifune in a suit feels a lot stronger. In this one, he has more inner dramas, and his acting is more restrained, unlike the Tajomaru...

      A little shorter would be perfect. Kurosawa Akira + Mifune + Mori Yazhi's three works "Rashomon" and "Idiot" are very different from this film. Mori Yazhi's role is very different, and the performance is smooth and smooth. It is worthy of the Japanese male selected by "Movie Xunbao" in the 1995 film century. Number one on the list of actors. 5 stars for his...

      There is a problem with the translation of the title of the main film, but "Sweet Dreams of the Evil Man" makes sense. The film has nothing to say, and the ending is very powerful. Every time I watch a Kurosawa Akira, I refresh my understanding of the emperor. From samurai films to modern social themes, it is a...

      The best old black modern movie I've seen so far. The first two-thirds of the drama is still very obvious, and it is also possible to replace the president and general manager with a famous city...

    The illegitimate son Nishi Koichi's father became Iwabuchi's scapegoat for corruption and was forced to jump off the building and die. Nishi Koichi formulated a crazy revenge plan, approached and married Iwabuchi's daughter Kako, and became Iwabuchi's secretary, which provided him with the most convenient conditions for smoothly implementing the complicated plan. He fought against a group of corrupt criminals alone, and forced the key...

    Evaluation action

    "悪い奴ほどよく眠る" is a "fantasy revenge film" about politics and family. It is a masterpiece of rational people. Wind Man uses the most accurate lens language to tell a rigorously calculated story. Through a bribery incident, the description of the darkness of the upper echelons of officials and businessmen, as far as the story line is concerned, has obvious characteristics of Western drama. In terms of composition, the processing of...

    Movie quotes

    • Tatsuo Iwabuchi: Yoshiko, he's using you. You're just a pawn for his vengeance.

    • Yoshiko Nishi: My father, is he really such a bad person? Please, tell me the truth. Tatsuo sometimes says the same thing. Is that really what Father is like?

      [Koichi turns away]

      Yoshiko Nishi: So, it's true then. But he's always been a wonderful father to me.

    • Itakura: How can this be? How can this be?
