Look out from the window on the seventh floor

If you don't watch the movie, you probably won't understand this poster. On the seventh floor (it is indeed the seventh floor in the movie, this poster can’t be counted, it’s already over a dozen floors: P), a room was crossed because something happened in it.

Kurosawa Akira I still watched too little. He has made this type of film. I didn't have any idea before. Back then, I was affirmed by West Berlin and nominated by the Golden Bear. Black-and-white films, talk about black gold corruption, Japanese tofu dregs projects, etc., have no officials and no corruption, the difference lies in whether they are double-regulated or not. Photography and art still have to use the word "precision" to describe the composition of the opening wedding speech. The front and back guests are in the long depth of field. The profile of the speaker is the main one. It is still the posture of a great director, ordinary people. A layout that would never be thought of. Kurosawa’s movies have always had a tough opening, and both "Ran" and "Shadow Warrior" are good examples of learning. The theme is still unfolding from the plot, slowly extending to the perspective of human care, which belongs to Kurosawa Akira's consistent film thinking.

In terms of performance, it was the Queen's Toshiro Mifune. Because he was too male, he deliberately used glasses to suppress his arrogance. Toshiro Mifune is also really good, playing an avenger who insists on going his own way without losing compassion, and makes the audience fully accept it. There is also Kasa Tomomi, who was used by Ozu Yasujiro, who also appeared.

Come to think of it, this is 1960.

Three years later, Ozu died.

    4.2. The scheduling of the 20-minute wedding segment is really a match for the godfather. It is definitely a classic paragraph of scene scheduling and dynamic composition. Simple piano key tones as accompaniment, contrast of music inside and outside the car in the funeral passage. Emphasis: A large number of Kurosawa-style iconic dynamic composition creators have to study, and too many write notes in pull-up notes. The contrast between the shady political victory and the personal tragedy in the story is very shocking! Part of the composition metaphors the ending~~

    Seeing that the plan of revenge with meticulous calculation and clever tactics will soon come to a steady end, once the truth is moved, all previous achievements are abandoned, the wicked first, twist the world, the evil wind encourages, and the corruption is endless, Kurosawa once again gave these assholes neurological preferential treatment, let them I can't sleep at night, I'm worried, but unfortunately the good people always have omissions, and occasionally the evil ones can catch up with their own evil deeds.

The Bad Sleep Well quotes

  • [Nishi drives Wada to the funeral service- his own. Nishi wipes the rain from the windscreen so Wada can look. Wada peers over the dashboard. It is really a magnificent funeral, with wreaths, candles, a picture of him mounted on the top of a wonderful display, and co-workers bowing solemnly. Wada is aghast to find his wife and daughter at the funeral]

    Assistant-to-the-Chief Wada: Why... why are you doing this to me? This is sheer torment! I'd rather be dead!

    [He begins to sob]

    Assistant-to-the-Chief Wada: Please, let me die. I have to die! Wasting this fine funeral-!

    Koichi Nishi: Calm down, now. There's something I want you to hear. You've been to Noir, right? The bar run by Moriyama's mistress?

    [He takes out a large tape recorder, disguised as a valise]

    Koichi Nishi: This is Moriyama and Shirai talking there last night.

    Contract Officer Shirai: [over the tape recorder] What, you came to this kind of place? And so soon after getting married?

    Koichi Nishi: [over tape recorder] You've caught me red handed. I'm ready for a dance.

    Administrative Officer Moriyama: [over tape recorder] Now, now. No need to rush off.

    [Moriyama and Shirai laugh]

    Koichi Nishi: [to Wada] That's when I placed a briefcase with this tape recorder inside it under their table.

    [He shuts the tape off]

    Koichi Nishi: I'll play their conversation for you after they arrive at the funeral.

    [He starts whistling a tune]

  • Public Corporation President Arimura: Nishi's future prospects glow brightly indeed. As for his lovely bride, Yoshiko, she is a talented alumna of Keitoku Girls School and is not only exquisite, but also a rare paragon of unsullied innocence.
