The staged indoor drama is another special point. Different from the simple sitcom, such staged drama seems to emphasize a sense of form. Later "Dog Town", "Mishima Yukio"... all have similar attempts. However, integrating Japanese Noh music into the film seems to label Japanese culture, with beautiful forms and a sense of ritual.
The achievement of this film is that it adapts a story familiar to Westerners and puts it on the Japanese label. I believe that the core of Shakespeare's plays are mostly human nature, fate, or ugliness, or evil, or kindness, or optimism... These human natures are common in the world. It's rare to be able to incorporate these into the context of the story.
Thinking of the crazy adaptations of "Hamlet" and "Home Spring and Autumn" in China...put on the clothes of martial arts, but only a skeleton.
