People who want to commit suicide are advised to make a decision after watching this movie, but Akira Kurosawa, who made this masterpiece, has chosen to commit suicide later. In the second half, Rashomon was performed again, and the portraits of the characters were very vivid. Just as the protagonist in the movie died but his contribution to the citizens will be remembered forever, Kurosawa has already left this world, but thousands of years later, as long as human beings still exist, someone will thank him for his movie. I want to go on a swing after watching it. The charm of the movie is here.

The virus like a cancer has spread in the body. Only by working together can we be saved, but it is precarious. The society is still unaware of the danger, indulging in intrigue in a world of power struggle and self-intoxication, and heading for destruction in chaos and despair. The script is full of philosophical thinking, full of satirical characters, the performance is too dramatic, but the reflection is turbulent.
