Rainy Moon Monogatari Ugetsu, Japan, 1953
Director: Mizoguchi, Kenji Mizoguchi Kenji
CC Code: 309 I
watched Mizoguchi's great movie "Rain Moon Story", one movie, three interview records, three A film introduction and a 150-minute documentary of Mizoguchi's life. When these were finished, it was already January 1, 2007.
It is rare to see such a coquettish and oriental movie. With CC's powerful restoration, it is hard to imagine that this is a movie from the 1950s. It is really the peak production of black and white movies. Compared to Ozu’s fixed lens, Mizoguchi here shows his unique charm of moving lenses. According to the photographer’s introduction, many scenes are moving. Even those that look stationary will actually appear when the negatives are put together. Offset.
Zen taste! Yes, there are many places in this movie that reflect this kind of taste, at least I think so. I don’t know how many modern people can care about the phrase "a family of three live quietly together". In the current world, too many people are the same as the brothers in the movie. Confused by the hue, it is so impossible to experience the life of a family of three after the death of everything.
In Mizoguchi's movie, every woman is always a tragedy, and this movie is the same. According to Mizoguchi’s own explanation, his focus on the creation of female films is entirely because the film company has another director who focuses on male subjects and considers business behavior. In fact, without Mizoguchi’s deep understanding of women, it is impossible to produce so many films. Women's film. There are three female protagonists in the film, one was killed by officers and soldiers, one was gang-raped by robbers, and one female ghost wanted to try the joys of the world forever, but in the end they could only be turned into smoke and disappear. Every woman is a tragedy. The perpetrators of tragedies are often men.
Fall in love with her or in love with the character? In the world of Mizoguchi, he himself is a tragedy. When he is with the person he likes, he can’t directly confess his pain. The feeling of pain will not be less painful than the women in his movies. Mizoguchi of the world passed away at such a young age. This may also be relevant.
