perseverance and hope

I am used to seeing Toshiro Mifune holding a sword, walking on hills and streets at dusk. Under the broad and tall back, there is not only a sense of security and justice.
"Silent Duel", the name of this movie, still gives me the impression of the warrior spirit, as if he was still unruly, thinking quietly, quietly using a knife, or a few words , cut away many darkness in the world, and then still uninhibitedly blended into the red sunset behind the dark curtain.
This time, however,...

Although it only lasts for more than 90 minutes, I personally think that he is one of Akira Kurosawa's best works. In terms of the fluency of the narrative and the theme of the work, it is undoubtedly a great work.

I rarely express my love for a film so openly, it is like a quiet night, quiet and peaceful, but thought-provoking. The surrounding black should be an additional element, and duel is another dimension of dynamic input to static, and sometimes it can even be simply regarded...

Akira Kurosawa tells the story of "Duel in the Quiet Night"

Excerpted from "Toad's Oil"

This year, before the strike started, we established the "Film Art Association", a colleague organization.

The five people are Kajiro Yamamoto, Mikio Naruse, Chikichi Taniguchi and I, a total of four directors, plus producer Shojiro Bengi.

The strike started as soon as this colleague organization was established, so there was no activity during the strike. After the strike ended, I came out of Toho and started filming with this organization as my...

The object of the duel is actually one's own desires

Akira Kurosawa likes to make movies about doctors, the previous "Drunken Angel" and the later famous "Red Beard". As a very idealistic one in the early days, Kyoji Fujisaki, the representative of the angel in white, was unfortunately infected with syphilis during a field operation. In order not to delay the happiness of his fiancée's life, he reluctantly refused his persistent pursuit, and persuaded the patient who infected him back then. Adhering to the treatment and control...

Akira Kurosawa never stops thinking about the social situation in Japan after the war, but this film is too idealized from the character to the plot development. And, Director Akira Kurosawa, is he showing off that he owns Muse Mifune? Every close-up and angle made him as handsome as a sculpture of a beautiful Greek teenager,...

The protagonist of the duel is a venereal disease. Being terminally ill and unwilling to drag down the opposite sex, he leaves others out in the cold. The dog-blood drama routine of a youth idol is something that happened half a century after the film was...
