The story of Section Chief Watanabe is today, I am afraid that at most it can only earn countless cheap tears in touching China. But Akira Kurosawa didn't want to make chicken soup, and he didn't handle the story in this way, just showing the awakening and struggle of a terminally ill patient in the last moments of his life.
In fact, it doesn't take much effort, everyone can live an ordinary life in peace. We searched for one life model after another, and in the end, except for the fleeting sporadic emotions, nothing changed. How you choose to live is entirely up to you. But no matter what you choose, you should be responsible for yourself, not escape...
... far away. This is the first Kurosawa-directed film I've ever seen. It was made in 1952, 65 years ago. It may appear crude to today's audience, but it stems from technologically insurmountable conditions of the times.
The most impressive clips: the psychological changes before and after the section chief's visit to the hospital, the correspondence between the section chief and his subordinates' last date and the birthday party of the young people on the side, and the second half of the film, the recollection and confusion of the subordinates before the spirit And the last life of the section chief, which has been enriched by repeated discussions.
I think this is probably the timeless value of classic movies...
That is the interpretation of life.
