Akira Kurosawa's "If I Had Three Days of Light"

"If I Had Three Days of Light" by Akira Kurosawa. "Desire to Live" has a boldness that no rookie can imagine. One is at the beginning, the sentence: "This is the protagonist's stomach" has been haunting me for a long time, and it is the beginning of film history that attracts me the most. The second point is that the progress bar has only gone more than halfway, so it tells me that the protagonist has died. Not only bold but neat. Watanabe's two rebirths and two deaths clearly and concisely tell us what it means to be alive. The group scene in the second half was like "M is the Killer", but the inquiries were not as profound as "M". The whole story is half introspective, half bashing. I like the happy birthday song of Watanabe going down the stairs and on the swing, the part that Watanabe sang: "Life is so short, girls, let's fall in love, before the red lips fade, and Shen's enthusiasm has not become cold, no one knows tomorrow."

    "What have I done in the office for the past 30 years, I only remember being busy and boring.", "Busy and boring", isn't this the true portrayal of most jobs? Irony and tenderness go hand in hand. Haven't seen such a great movie in a long time...

Ikiru quotes

  • Novelist: It's fascinating. I realize it's rude to call you fascinating, but you're an extremely rare individual. I'm just a slacker who writes second-rate fiction. You've really started me thinking. They say there's something noble about suffering and it's true.

  • Novelist: Misfortune teaches us the truth. Your cancer has opened your eyes to your own life. People are fickle and shallow. We only realize how beautiful life is when we face death. And even then, few of us realize it. The worst among us know nothing of life until they die.
