Kurosawa Akimme's
first dream,
long-term fixed lens, the child rained shortly in front of the house. The mother saw the rain and came to recycle the things. The sun and rain did not change the
panorama. The mother told the child not to go out and stay at home. Let people see, and they will get angry when they see a child. The child looked around and didn't believe it.
Jungle camera panning to follow the child by the vision to medium shot to the vision of a child lost some kids coming out of the front lower right of the screen tall trees left of the screen, highlighting the performance of children with short stature mysterious
fog prominent in front of the kids behind the lens composition
middle ground fog after what seems to exist
back behind the lens body back to the child after the child some fear hidden in the trees
cut back to see what the fog gradually showing a humanoid fox marriage marriage fox Japanese traditional dance style
vixen who suddenly saw another side head continue to walk back and forth several times
to switch back behind children for fear of being found
shot a fox passing a
fox found a child a child to escape
child ran home to see my mother was waiting for him by the panorama slowly walked over to the middle ground,
the mother confessed child also apologize knife, Not letting the child go home said that the fox held a lot of grudges, and told him that he was at the end of the rainbow.
Child trying to open the door but failed
and finally out of the picture from the left side of the screen to leave the closed doors of
children coming front and surrounded by colorful flowers
rainbow patterned like a fine painting appears mainly between the mountains cut vision of natural beauty characters backseat.

The second dream is a
fixed lens. The child appears on the screen from the partition. The
moving lens follows the child. The child opens the door and
cuts the scene inside the door. The two-lens structure is symmetrical. The main body is the child.
The child saw something similar to a doll on display. . . Hey. . . Oh do not understand Japanese culture stock of knowledge is not enough
shots to two in-depth close-up doll
child turned higher in the composition of the lower right corner of the dialogue sister
sister wore a purple kimono on behalf of women as a foil next to the stately pink
child find a few people but was denied sister
children After opening the door quickly, it was determined that there was one missing sister who was bored. The
child opened the door and found a woman in pink. The camera panned to the right. The audience should have spotted the girl earlier than the child. I don't know what the director intends.
Pan child opened the door and this time the details of the deal pretty well my sister said there was no
original position is replaced by a flower implied flower child was surprised
the audience this time it is also very surprised
this time shot cleverly hid the flower
children find time to spend just Behind him, the child chased out and found him at the gate. At
this time, the door was in the center of the picture. The light was well-lit and contrasted with the dark light in the surrounding rooms, highlighting the temptation and mysteriousness of the world outside the door
. The child chased out.
The lens is in a bamboo forest with some petals on the ground.
The composition of this lens is natural, which makes people realize that there is a small road on the right side of the
lens, the
structure becomes a symmetrical composition of a child and a woman, and a bamboo forest appears in the middle. There is fog in the bamboo forest, and it has a dreamlike feeling.
The main body of the lens is changed to a woman, and the lens moves to the right with the woman, and the child chases.
Cut the main body and replace
the little ghosts to appear, the whole is in a stepped shape, and the position and the little ghosts are similar to the dolls that the child saw just now.
In fact, I personally feel that the four-layer doll is meaningful.
It can be expressed through colors and the actions of praying and casting spells afterwards.
The bottom layer is mainly green and white and black. It represents moisture, soil, and terrestrial ecology.
The second layer is mainly brown, which means the trunk and branches of the peach tree.
The third time was orange red and deep red, and the following dance moves can be known to be peach petals.
The top layer is the fruit, because the king, the most essence is the fruit.
The appearance of the king and queen shows that the close-up of the two dolls just now strengthens the audience's memory.
Pull the panorama
child as a part at the bottom.
The doll said that he was the soul of Peach Blossom, and complained that the child's family had cut down the peach tree.
Just now, the role of the peach petals in the bamboo forest is highlighted here.
The child said that he also liked the orchard very much, and was very sad about the behavior of destroying the orchard.
The doll makes the orchard return.
The soil moisture at the bottom of the foundation roots is the most basic work.
The branches are mainly music, as a delivery. Prepare for the dance of the flowers.
The dancing of peach petals
finally forms the fruit.
The child wiped away his tears, watching the
counterattack
instantly become a peach forest. The plump
kid was very happy, and a girl appeared in Taolin.
The child chased after it, but found that it was an empty
tree that had been cut down, leaving only a peach blossom formed by the girl. It happens to be located on the third floor, which confirms that the four-layer doll symbolizes the whole peach tree.
Most of the shots are in the middle shot. In the process of catching up, the audience actually saw that the tree had been seen.
The child is in the center, surrounded by chopped wood. The only peach tree is located diagonally above the
child came to the peach blossom, walked half a circle around the peach blossom, the center of gravity fell on the peach blossom.
The child is crying.
I personally think that this part is mainly because of human beings for certain interests, ignoring the interests of nature as a whole. The dream of environmental protection theme.

Third dream
The short shots mostly show that people are extremely weak in the predicament of the snow-capped mountains. There is no music and only difficult breathing. The slow shots work well with the
climbers’ internal self-doubt. It will appear in the plight of self-denial self-deception
through the table if broken blizzard whether the advent of these questions we can know the players in the self-deception.
Human resting means giving up resistance.
Several team members were covered by heavy snow. The
captain was awakened by the snow demon.
The captain hurriedly pulled the other team members in slow motion to handle it well.
After the snowstorm, the team members saw that they hoped to be saved.
This part is very short. I
personally think that the content of this paragraph is very clear.
Another point I think is that Kurosawa thinks that dreams are necessary at some point. Officer

Fourth Dream
came to a cave entrance.
The camera pans until the officer is in front of the cave. The middle position.
Officers perspective hole
behind the lens officers fear
from the cave out of a dog toward its roar
officers feared officers body
is located in the middle of the screen behind the officer shot
the feet to walk into the hole close-up
the upper part of the officers moving the lens viewing angle hole
shoes echo
the front of the legs close-up upper body shots
behind the lens officer gradually turn feel a little strange move out of the hole until
the hole is patterned officer on the left middle of a red light to the right side of the mountain
out of the front entrance close-range panoramic
officers back close-range panoramic
At this time we will find a red light near the hole disappeared. This is not a mistake in scene scheduling. Explaining that this is unrealistic, the officer has entered a dream
Fixed lens hole appears a dead soldier out of the hole
he found Noguchi Private
Noguchi Private asking whether killed and stepped forward
panoramic officers back
personally feel this is in order to show the distance
Noguchi every step officer post will take a step back
on the composition obviously subject replaced Noguchi
Noguchi said he did not believe home for dinner officer said it was a dream
this is actually a double meaning on the one hand Noguchi dream one hand, the officer
shot at this time between the two men cut each other
Noguchi said his parents do not believe they have dead
officer Noguchi turned silent while facing the camera
Noguchi central has a patterned back lights is estimated to be home
, pointing to the lights and said it was the home turn
this lens is very clever use of depth of field of the right
body by the lights turned Noguchi
panoramic again
this time two screens located The parallel at the bottom
indicates that the sense of distance between the two people has decreased. Later, the officer will take a step forward to illustrate this point.
When Noguchi said that his parents were waiting for me at home, the officer took a few steps forward and came in front of him
. people
picture in the middle is still Noguchi
officer again and again to say that Noguchi was dead
officer said he died in his arms
two behind the lens
the distant lights still clear
Noguchi lost turned and walked back to
the middle ground
Noguchi turned back to him salute officers also serious The salute of
Noguchi enters the hole, the camera moves backwards at the same time, and the performance is far to
cut back to the officer’s side to look straight into the field of vision
Officers perspective Noguchi gradually leaving the
officer side and cross-cut hole
hole came the army neat footsteps
a dead army came out
shouting military command
officers say he is very painful and we want to die with words such as
in these words of war The stupidity of the living and the dead, the winner, the loser, are very painful. This also expresses the Japanese director's reflection on the war during that period.
The subtlety of this dream is different from other movies. Most movies always illustrate the suffering of war from the perspective of the dead, whether it is sacrifice or disability. However, the film speaks in the tone of a surviving officer, making this dream imaginative, having an extraordinary effect on the emotions expressed, and it is very artistic. And let the dead talk to the living, expressing that war is equally painful to the living and the dead, and there is no victor at all.
Military music remembered that the dead army had left.
The officer suddenly sprang out of the hole on the ground in pain. The dog just now
will find that a red side light suddenly appeared.
This means the awakening of dreams.

The Fifth Dream
A few paintings of Van Gogh, a painter
consciously entered a painting before these paintings and asked where Van Gogh had a dialogue, we can see that the world does not understand Van Gogh
came to the wheat field where he passed by, most of the buildings are as strong as Van Gogh. the general picture
Catcher in the back to find the painter Vincent van Gogh in the wheat field painter perspective
prospect panorama painter into the picture
close-range
Van Gogh painting so he said not stop like a locomotive driven by their own general
close-up Van Gogh's head
cross-cut train picture
Description Van Gogh hearts I think the locomotive is trending, I urge
Van Gogh to say that I can’t paint well, so I cut off my ears and say I ’m in a hurry and can’t chat about
composition. Van Gogh is the former painter in the secondary position.
Van Gogh took a few steps and the camera shifted back just right when the sun was shining directly,
saying that the sun drove him back, the painter could not open his eyes, but the light appeared
again . When the painter looked for it again, Van Gogh had already left, accompanied by the sound of the roaring train, the
panoramic vision
painter came. another painting is the painting of the sun seems to have come alive temperature
painter positive way and entered another picture from the left side of the screen into the
camera behind the panorama
into a multi-picture after
like entering into the picture and when just looking for Van Gogh The scenery on the road is like
returning to
the scene in the real picture. Through special effects, the
crows are all over the sky. In the
distance, Van Gogh gradually leaves the
painter but can't keep up with the pace of Van Gogh. Van Gogh paints wherever he goes. we see these paintings
the artist returned to painting before

the sixth dream
panorama chaotic crowd
close-range reverse the flow of people from one
panoramic distant volcanic eruptions are generally very dangerous
we can see the panic of the crowd in the lower part of the screen are fleeing crowd
a youth The ice and snow of Mount Fuji in the distance were instantly melted
by the flames . Scientists and women near the young people know that the accident caused by the explosion of the nuclear power plant. The
composition of the scientist in the middle shows that it is an important position. Important tasks should also be representatives of intellectuals. on behalf of the population should be responsible for the
violent reaction of the volcano suddenly
people were gathered to watch the fugitive expression surprised
to fight anti Mount Fuji was completely ablated the
crowd crazy fled
Mount Fuji continues terrible explosion
Cut to the seaside bike and people's clothes and other rubbish on the beach
a few people at the beach
that they had fled to the most distant
crowd and fled, but scientists say the dolphins can not escape the radiation hazards
went on to say on behalf of the three colors of the clouds on the human body different injury
The most classic is that the sentence is dyed with pigment but it only lets us know why we died. The
scientist wiped his glasses and then threw it away, indicating that the glasses are now meaningless.
On the one hand, I don’t want to watch this tragic scene. I feel that the knowledge represented by glasses makes me resent myself even more.
At this time, the youth found that the wind was blowing. At this time, the main light gradually brightened. The
scientist jumped into the sea. The
youth was a representative of people who did not want to die. Crazy fan to prevent red gas from entering the body.
Red gas is carcinogenic, and it is also a three-color gas. From the perspective of the three people at the bottom, we know that it is the

seventh dream that is closest to the three. The
vision explains that the surroundings are broken like the end of the world
. Walking alone is probably a survivor. The
panoramic view of the survivor shows the loneliness and helplessness of a person at this time for a long time. this person is always at the center of the screen
more illustrates this point
blew off his hat
white mist pavement deepen the mystery
radiation people showed
radiation people at the top right and later moved to the top left corner of
the protagonist always with his opposition both on the screen already hinted It's completely different. The
fog gradually dissipates. The
protagonist
sees the radiant man. The protagonist sees the long horns on his head
being radiated into a deformity. It is
said that a sea of ​​flowers here has become such
strange flowers.
The sunflower cut
into the picture looks normal . After entering the picture, people find that the giant flower
is caused by radiation
and that people are no exception. They can only kill each other and become a monster. The
radiation man takes the protagonist away and goes to the ogre group to
look at the blood pool. The bitter news of human suffering
suddenly radiated people into ogres. . . The protagonist ran away in a hurry, and lost his hat.
At this time, it is no longer a human society. The

eighth dream.
A young man came to a small river and a picturesque village. He
saw a child putting flowers on a stone. The
young man saw the
elderly by the waterwheel . A statement tells the theme of the film, return to nature
and prepare to participate in the funeral happily.
At first, the youth felt inconvenient to the life of the village. The
elders believed that modern life lacked the happiness and meaning of life.
Finally, the youth seemed to understand that
watching the funeral procession was not a joy. It was still a sad
young
man who came to the stone and
picked flowers and placed them on the stone, showing that he understood the words of the elder, Akira Kurosawa brought us hope and guided us through the last dream.
