I remember the first Kurosawa movie I watched was Rashomon, from the point of view of human interests. The second film is the Seven Samurai, which demonstrates the inevitable disappearance of the samurai system from the national level, but this film deeply explores the world from the perspective of an individual country, which gave me a far greater impact than the previous two films.
First of all, Akira Kurosawa is definitely the master of the masters, which can be seen by people like me who don't understand movies. From personal experience and character, from the composition design of every picture in the film and even the footsteps of the characters, I can feel absolutely flawless. Akira Kurosawa is definitely a director with extreme perfectionism and strong desire for control. In addition, each of his movie stories is particularly simple, but the classic is that he spares no effort to portray the expressions, movements and breathing of each character, making people immersive and holding their breath.
The first dream is the story of a little boy and a fox. The little boy is silenced by a tough, stern mother, a fox... Actually, I don't really understand what it means, and I don't understand how the previous dreams are connected, but I don't know. Whether the screenwriter is Akira Kurosawa, I think to a large extent yes, the little boy's forbearance likes to draw and dream of Van Gogh when he is an adult, I think this film profoundly reflects Akira Kurosawa's thinking about the world.
The second dream is a little boy and Taoyuan. He said he didn't want to lose Taoyuan, so the ghosts recreated Taoyuan for him, but in the end it was still a bare tree trunk. (This is a reflection of industrialization? Man-made destruction?) But from the perspective of children, there is no adult's interest vision (deeply felt the worship and awe of ghosts in Japan) The picture also reflects Kurosawa Akira's neat composition
What is the third one, I also forgot? I remember a story about a group of people waiting for a snowy mountain and then experiencing a blizzard and meeting the snow girl who woke up and found that the camp was right in front of you. In fact, Akira Kurosawa is really a slow worker. I remember that it took at least five or six minutes to describe the characters' blurred faces and breathing sounds, eyes blurred by the snowstorm, and Yuki's frantic hair, so that it made the It is almost impossible to see in a few minutes, but the second is here, the story is never complicated, how to highlight the psychology of the characters without letting this kind of inspirational story neglect to shout slogans
What follows is my favorite story about a post-war soldier who meets the dead soul of his teammates on the way home, wants to go home, wants to be reunited with his family, but in the end even rests at the command of the boss. First of all, what is particularly interesting is that a soldier who has fought in a war will be afraid of a vicious dog before entering the cave, so the sound of his footsteps when entering the cave is hurried and uneasy, even if he looks back, and when he exits the cave, there is a small The red light is flashing at the exit. Also my favorite scene
But the footsteps of the next soldier's undead are light and hopeful, because he wants to go home to see his family and reunite with his family and doesn't even believe that he is dead, as the officer said, stupid war, death without dignity...behind The footsteps of the dead souls of the soldiers are slow and desperate... The finishing touch is that the officer said that he would rest in peace and that he also wanted to die together, but he was still afraid of a vicious dog and still found his way home. At this time, I actually don't know whether Kurosawa is anti-war or just considering the casualties caused by the war. I mean whether to deeply reflect on the war.
The next dream is the atomic bomb explosion that the Japanese can't avoid, lots of smoke, people fleeing, crying mothers, innocent-eyed children. In fact, seeing this, as a Chinese, my mood is very complicated. When I think of our Nanjing Massacre, 300,000 compatriots died without dignity and worthless... Even with a gloating angle, I think that you have also suffered Retribution... But I was not shocked when I saw many Japanese people jumping into the sea without a brain... We are all human, we are all the same creatures... The Japanese people also hate this meaningless war ...
Next is the dream of encountering Van Gogh. I think Kurosawa reflects his own unremitting pursuit of painting and film from Van Gogh...
Next is the story of the alienation of the earth's environment through the atomic bombing and turning into cannibals. I personally feel that Akira Kurosawa is reflecting the cannibalism of capitalists, destroying his own environment for the sake of profit and harming innocent and weak people...
I also think the next scene is a classic
The last dream is a completely natural society, there is nothing like an industrial society, advocating nature, people respect every life, love life, but like the title of the movie, it is just a distant dream.
The last impression I saw was very special. World War II, the atomic bomb, and the bubble economy made the Japanese know more that money and development are not so important. Reflecting on everything they had done, they realized the philosophy of Lao and Zhuang. Reflection is equivalent to learning, so there is a Yamato nation who dresses for natural comfort, uses nature appropriately and rationally, and actively lives every day, just like a small forest, not impetuous but comfortably enjoying the beautiful sustenance of the moment. I saw that I finally believed that Akira Kurosawa was a complete anti-war activist. I also deeply realized that the Japanese nation is a nation good at learning. Even if he is a fascist country, I think their reflection on World War II is no better than ours. Few countries have been bullied by the great powers for a hundred years, but it is clear that we have chosen to forget. Just like the wealth and honor in life, after all, farmers account for the vast majority of China. Just wanting enough food and clothing, or a little political power is enough to live this life. Therefore, the spirit of Ah Q is really deeply imprinted in the bones of each of us Chinese. According to the history book, can we truly realize that humiliating history by visiting the memorial hall? Can you really think deeply? Maybe many people think that it is too tiring to remember, and it is better to selectively forget, but how can we develop towards the future if we do not remember history? Of course, I don't think that Japan is better than us, as if we understand this. I just hope that our country will be prosperous and strong, and truly confident, instead of relying on smashing Japanese cars to make other countries' leaders sour... I feel my words. Again...it's a good, good, good movie
