The red beard has something like this. Although it hasn't been recorded in history, it was dug out by Kurosawa Ming, or created it, just like Luo Dalun wanted to find out the great doctors from the dust of history. One of them, Xu Shuwei, never charged a penny to see a doctor during his whole life, but he made a big wish since childhood. As the saying goes, it is not difficult for a person to do a good deed, but it is difficult to do a good deed for a lifetime. Xu Shuwei did it all his life. Luo Dalun met his descendants in Xu Shuwei's hometown of Wuxi. On a mountain, the products are rich and beautiful, and most people have cars, which seems to be the result of ancestors' shelter.
There is only one spirit that can be left to future generations. Because of his spirit, it is roughly the rationale for people to preach eternal life in later generations.
Red Beard is a great doctor, and very cunning. For example, he never shows mercy to the rich, and the lion opens his mouth, but he doesn't mean to enjoy himself. He is just taking the rich and helping the poor and taking money to help the poor. He looks serious, but his heart is very kind. He would piss a bunch of rascals, and reflect on it later. Toshiro Mifune didn't have the exaggerated performances he was used to. In addition to squeezing the iconic red beard, his posture is also special, often from left to right, which often makes people worry about whether the beard will grow to one side. The first time I saw Baoben, I was willing to say, I'd better call me Red Beard, my real name is awkward. He was totally unkind, went straight, didn't care about the sarcasm of the nickname, he was really a refreshing person.
There are two kinds of people in this world, one who likes to be close to the powerful, and the other who likes to mix with the poor. The two protagonists in this film are both the latter. In our time, naturally there are still such two kinds of people. Some people think that the latter kind of people are worthless, but the latter kind of people look down on the former. To save money, he took a fancy to Red Beard, and he had to follow him, but it was a stinking match. Red Beard didn't want to delay the future of the young man, but he found a good position in the shogunate but did not go, but who made this young man the same kind of person as him. Naturally, those who watch it are still very happy. Although Red Beard still snorted pretendingly, I know his heart is quite beautiful.
This film earned Toshiro Mifune the actor award at the Venice Film Festival. But when I watched the movie, I felt that he was invisible, and there were not so many patients who came to him. Perhaps it is this movement and silence that makes the film particularly tense.
Each supporting role is so wonderful. There are also a lot of close-ups of their faces, and they wear heavy makeup, which feels like a reference to Noh drama. It is a musical note in this realistic movie. For example, in the first story, the perverted woman's attack on the guarantee, using candlelight shadows to create a horrible effect, you come and I have a stage posture, and the silence is also quite thrilling. When the woman succeeded, she saw someone coming, her eyes turned up, and her eyes were very horrible. The 12-year-old girl in the last story also painted stage makeup at first, showing her morbid state, as well as her stiff floor-wiping action and squinting expression, which are quite dramatic effects like a stage play.
There are also very exciting scenes in the movie. It is not endless depression, disease, and poverty. For example, one morning, the little girl gradually relieved her mind and began to take care of the break-even when she fell ill. She still wiped the floor as before, and her movements have become soft. This also reflects her transformation. When she wiped the window, she opened it. At the window door, there was a lot of snow outside the window at this time, and the snow suddenly made the picture cheerful. Snow is not real, they are all such big flowers, falling rhythmically, and at this time the music is played, it is brisk and playful, tactfully and repeatedly, with the gradual snow, it is really heartwarming all at once. Cheerful. A director who can really capture the beauty of life.
And our old friend Gale, an indispensable element in Kurosawa's movies. There is also heavy rain, which is also common in his movies. In the storm, our hero is made into steel like this. Putting people in a harsh environment for tempering will see their true colors. I think of Yang Jiang’s book I read recently. After reviewing the many experiences in her life, she came to the conclusion that good steel is to be made. Mr. Yang Jiang is extremely frugal. She and Qian Zhong cost a lot of manuscripts, but they don't use them for themselves. The large sums of money are used for foundation scholarships. I usually eat porridge and do not add any clothes. The house still has concrete floors and old furniture. Mortals are too far apart from their realm. They are all legendary characters. It is worth remembering them forever. Seeing their stories makes me feel excited. Only they are worthy of this life.
