      not explained clearly

      This film is troublesome. There are some things that may be expressed that either I can't see or can't watch the film. The most annoying thing is the metaphor. . . Too fucking affective. . Maybe the twisted Japanese are more suitable to watch. . . It's also possible that the religious superstition of the God faction that this piece has joined is a fucking mess. . The problem with the film is that the plots related to the protagonist before he starts killing people all the way fail to reflect...

      vengeance on whom?

      Imamura Shohei was famous for a while in the 1960s, with masterpieces such as "Insects of Japan" and "Red Murder". Unfortunately, due to the lack of sales, he was marginalized by the company. In the 1970s, he has been making documentaries about the post-war period, until this one. "I Want Vengeance" is a little bit of a lot of accumulation. Of course, this shot shocked all four. Back then, this film was rated as the No. 1 film in the ten-day newspaper. Looking at it now, this film is even in...

      fate is mine

      Even though I have been immersed in the violence of Korean crime movies for a long time, "Vengeance Is Me" still gave me a lot of shock. The presentation of the lengthy murder process not long after the opening and the way of washing off the blood on the hands create a sense of reality, and the documentary events and incident reports also enhance the creation of the sense of reality. The director is obviously shooting as a real event, and when the audience faces the overly realistic details...

      born wicked

      If I watched this movie before watching Storm Cloud, I would give it three stars for Storm Cloud. Thanks to the master who influenced Feng Junhao and Park Zanyu, he talked for more than two hours without feeling bored, his perspective was calm and restrained, or cruel, and he accurately analyzed the life of a murderer like a scalpel. Not being forced to participate in the protagonist's murder, it can be said that the sense of substitution is excellent. The jokes about religion undoubtedly...

      revenge revenge revenge

      After 6 years of submersion, Imamura Shohei came back to direct a very important work in his entire film career, "Vengeance Is Me". The serial murder case of Xu Xingquan created the character "Enojinyan" played by Xu Xingquan with full creative passion. Imamura uses a documentary-like technique throughout the work, reconstructing the development process of the murder from the perspectives of detective investigation and prisoner recall, using a large number of follow-up photography and portable...

      Bloodstains on peeing and washing hands, eels entangled in a pond, pawning rings from the hands of dead people, violence and madness for no reason are the orphans of the Japanese spirit after the war; incest, peeping in a sick society with a touch of genuine human tenderness , so long without watching a good movie and forgetting the real movie will make people truly...

      Use indiscriminate killing to cover up the fear of patriarchy, and use animalism to cover up your inner purity. If it was Kenji Mizoguchi or Nagisa Oshima, most of it was the pity or counterattack of the oppressed women. Only Imamura Shohei was willing to make women submissive hypocritically, so that he looked horrified and called it a moth. fire. Even if it was supposed to be a scene where the sensuality index was bursting, it was full of despair over the world. The savage murderer seems to be...

      【A】The powerful film technique resonates with the indifferent visual scale, which is a near-perfect social film. The seemingly chaotic narrative jumps in the interlaced time series are the best portrayals of the characters' fate, the inescapable past and the inescapable patriarchy. Among them, the arrangement of the two erotic scenes of father and daughter-in-law is really wonderful: hot springs and bathhouses carry fiery desires, but they are ruthlessly extinguished/interrupted by cold...

    Movie plot

    Tsuiwa was an employee of the Kyushu Cigarette Company. He killed the cashier Shibata Tanujiro and Baba Daihachi. Jin Yan’s criminal subconsciousness can be traced back to his childhood: his father was a Catholic, and he was very cowardly when the army expropriated fishermen’s fishing boats. The angry Jin Yan attacked the officer with a stick, but was stopped by his father, and he used his feet again. Kick the sand on the officer....

The film shows a series of emotional conflicts between father and son, between parents and between couples....
