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...

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...

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...

"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...
Assistant-to-the-Chief Wada: I met the young lady twice while planning the wedding. She's a genuinely sweet person. When I think of her agony, I wish a peaceful resolution were possible.
Itakura: Unfortunately there just isn't any way. That man's evil! If we hesitate, we're finished.
Administrative Officer Moriyama: [imprisoned inside a locked room] Cut the crap! You've starved me for two whole days!
Koichi Nishi: Would you like to eat?
Administrative Officer Moriyama: Of course!
Koichi Nishi: We haven't got much to offer. You like ham and eggs on toast?
Administrative Officer Moriyama: Anything!
Koichi Nishi: [opening up the locked door and showing him the pan of food] Ham and eggs on toast will run you 15 million.
Administrative Officer Moriyama: 15 million?
Koichi Nishi: Surely you're not shocked! 'Always get a kickback!' That's your policy, isn't it?
[Nishi drives Wada to the funeral service- his own. Nishi wipes the rain from the windscreen so Wada can look. Wada peers over the dashboard. It is really a magnificent funeral, with wreaths, candles, a picture of him mounted on the top of a wonderful display, and co-workers bowing solemnly. Wada is aghast to find his wife and daughter at the funeral]
Assistant-to-the-Chief Wada: Why... why are you doing this to me? This is sheer torment! I'd rather be dead!
[He begins to sob]
Assistant-to-the-Chief Wada: Please, let me die. I have to die! Wasting this fine funeral-!
Koichi Nishi: Calm down, now. There's something I want you to hear. You've been to Noir, right? The bar run by Moriyama's mistress?
[He takes out a large tape recorder, disguised as a valise]
Koichi Nishi: This is Moriyama and Shirai talking there last night.
Contract Officer Shirai: [over the tape recorder] What, you came to this kind of place? And so soon after getting married?
Koichi Nishi: [over tape recorder] You've caught me red handed. I'm ready for a dance.
Administrative Officer Moriyama: [over tape recorder] Now, now. No need to rush off.
[Moriyama and Shirai laugh]
Koichi Nishi: [to Wada] That's when I placed a briefcase with this tape recorder inside it under their table.
[He shuts the tape off]
Koichi Nishi: I'll play their conversation for you after they arrive at the funeral.
[He starts whistling a tune]
