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.

    Another masterpiece of Emperor Kurosawa, especially the ending, is atmospheric, classic, and dark. In fact, such bureaucratic darkness is staged every day in our world. It is rooted in the system rather than human nature. Good people always end in tragedy because of their kindness. The protagonist fails in his love for Kako, Xenia is cunning and cruel use of his daughter Kako, because there is no evil burden in his heart. The performances of all the actors are classic

    The modified version of Hamlet, even if set in modern Japan, still inherits the essence of Baroque revenge dramas and ancient Greek tragic heroes. The light and shadow are beautiful, the sense of drama is outstanding, and the group play in the first act is especially Shakespeare. The deepest impression is that the sound of wooden fish in the funeral scene is intertwined with the cabaret in the recording, indicating the interweaving of revenge and love and the inevitable tragedy.
