What is a downright villain

Halfway through, I especially hope that the director will be happy with the ending filming-the sinful father will atone for his sins, even if he is ruined and imprisoned, and finally forgiven by his daughter and son-in-law, the rest of the wicked will be taken into prison together, and the evil and the good will be punished. . But the director is determined to make a film that will disappoint everyone. The villain finally succeeds and the good people die. Moreover, as the biggest boss behind the scenes, the deep well and unpredictability of the bureaucratic insider have never appeared, which is chilling. The vanguard and representative of the dark forces-Iwabuchi, for his own future and interests, any means can be used, even for his own daughter, the key stone carvings can be cold-blooded to give up. Such villains have done it thoroughly. His previous loving kindness in front of his family was nothing but a performance on the political stage. The whole play is immersed in deep dark black, the atmosphere is very depressing and cold, morality and conscience are ruthlessly crushed, after watching it, the chest is like a big stone pressed on it. Mifune's performance in this play is more restrained and stylized, not as brilliant as his in the costume play. The role setting is not free and easy, which also affects his performance.

    Kurosawa adapted Hamlet and continued to watch Japan's post-war reality. The process/outcome of justice and the setting of roles are the opposite of "Heaven and Hell"; the description of the roles of civil servants can be compared with "The Desire of Life" (his lines are not too classic for humans). The first half of the hidden identity revenge process is fascinating. The drama and the director's sound and picture skills are as exciting as "Heaven and Hell". From the opening wedding scene, it reaches its climax and rushes to the top at the Hotan funeral. In the second half, it turned to a grim attack on reality, the entangled thinking of violence against violence and moral ethics, and finally ended in a silent tragedy.

    The photography is almost perfect. I thought "Wild Dogs" had reached its peak, but from the beginning to the end, almost every shot of this movie was extremely beautiful. It is said that Akira Kurosawa studied Hollywood, but there is no Hollywood three-shot method in Akira Kurosawa's movies. The scene scheduling and lighting are completely emotional. The sound processing is very solid, and it's all on the rhythm point, not procrastinating, not rushing, and in place.
