      Human lives are burned with fire. The life of a worm, thrown into the fire

      Very shocking to tell an escape story so rich, nervous and interesting. The willful and strong princess, the loyal and brave general, the cunning and pragmatic peasant, the large amount of gold, chasing and killing all the way. This road is really too difficult to walk. The carriage is changed to the cart, and the cart is replaced with manpower. Xia Bi's martial arts is strong, meticulous, and not chaotic in the face of danger. The princess has a kindhearted heart, calm and...

      At first glance Akira Kurosawa one two three

      1. The scenes of Japanese movies are so clean and messy, from the famous Oshima Nagisa to the petty bourgeois Iwai Shunji, even the infamous "The Grudge" scenes are simple and clean, making you never lost in horror. After seeing Kurosawa Akira, I realized that this tradition has its origins. Wars, peasants, hiding, such scenes can be filmed clean, without any clutter. There is no doubt that the black and white images have helped the director a lot. However, compared with Chaplin, who is also...

      Christmas Eve Memorial

      Compared with Kurosawa Akira's most prestigious works, the theme is not so grand, but he tells an interesting story and hacks the peasant by the way. Remembering Christmas Eve is a worthwhile trip!

      It was the first time I saw the women under the lens of Akira Kurosawa, she was wild and masculine, full of primitive temptation! It's really different from other women! I thought that the women in Kurosawa's movies would make people have no desire, but I...

      Classic charm

      When I was young, I really liked the story of "Journey to the West", in which the lines of "Ten Thousand Years" can be memorized back and forth. When I wanted to revisit the classics two years ago and open the "big talk" from my collection again, I found that I couldn't stand it anymore. Perhaps it was because of the roughness of the props, perhaps because of Zhou Xingchi's exaggeration, and more importantly, my own state of mind was no longer able to return to the agitated and...

      Like the feeling

      1. The feeling after reading it is: I just love it~ 2. After seeing Akira Kurosawa, Bergman, Bertolucci, and Hesse, I discovered that there are good things in this world, and only after seeing good things can you Distinguish beauty and ugliness from the root. Looking at these images, books, and thoughts is like renewing the system, fundamentally renewing from one's own thoughts, without even sudden or disturbing anxiety and distrust to make specific judgments on any matter. 3. I also love...

      At the master level, the scene of the two men who chased and reported the news on three boats on horseback was particularly good. In addition, in the previous films, I haven't found that Qian Qiushi can also act in funny films, and she also performs well and has...

      Akira Kurosawa's film is not a very famous film, but the story is still told neatly and neatly, and this film directly influenced the screenwriter of Star Wars. Later, in Star Wars, the princess brought 2 robots to the Jedi Knights. Escape under the cover is basically the same as the plot of this film. The prototypes of the two robots D2 and R2 are the two funny peasant deserters in this...

      Akira Kurosawa is equal to an insurmountable classic, and even today, it is rare to see such an excellent...

      Hashimoto Shinobu + Kikushima Ryuzo + Small country hero Kurosawa Akira is the only script assembled by almost the most classic three gold medal screenwriters in his life. This script is so big that it is unimaginable that it can be expanded into Japan's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as small as an inch of light. The escape story of sometimes too much cooperation between the masters can easily lead to a situation where no one understands or everyone feels a little...

      Haha, it's more like the sad and happy life of two wealth fans. Besides, Uehara Mizo's voice is too...

    As Wind Man’s first wide-screen film, people can see in the film that the director “deliberately” used the benefits of wide-frame to create a “new” space configuration method and bring it with it. Strong personal style   . (Timeline Review)
    In terms of its own planning and stimulus, the film has taken a big step forward than "Seven Samurai" and "Spider's Nest City", bringing the sword fighting film to a higher level. It is so...
