At first I thought it was a black and white film. I saw the colorful trams painted by Xiaoliu covering the four walls of the HOS. This should also be a hopeful movie. But watch the whole movie. Mood has been suppressed.
Xiao Liu's other film critics say that he is mentally retarded. in my opinion. He used to be a tram driver himself. Otherwise, go out of the house and say goodbye to her mother and go to his little world to drive his fantasy tram. So skillful in action. standard. It should be a post-war recession. He lost his job. The job he loves can no longer be done. So he was insane. His mother silently accepted his status quo. Chanting sutras and chanting Buddha hope that Xiaoliu will get better. Only the owner of the jewelry store came to see him as a patient and he performed repeated greetings every day.
The long-tongued women who wash up by the pool all day long in the hope of healing Xiao Liu's spirit . It can be implied as the wait-and-see attitude of Japan's Minzhong, who has
intermittent epilepsy. Only his wife seemed acerbic and ignored the visiting colleagues. What this clerk liked most was his wife's loyalty to him. He didn't hesitate to fight with a colleague who scolded his wife. The opposite is the middle-aged man who lives alone. In the end, he realized that his wife's infidelity caused his current situation. Everyday alone. A dead tree in front of the door reflected that his heart was dead. His wife came to repent. In the end, even apologizing for death did not bring back his dead heart.
The jewelry store owner initially thought it was a turning point. because. He helps everyone around him. Restrain the drunken madman. Using stomach medicine pretending to be poison restores a father who had no hope of a future life after his son died in battle. and a thief. He is helping. But powerless. Not enough power. He also has troubles. It should be a figure that Kurosawa Akira master reflected in his own heart.
What struck me the most was the story of the father and son homeless. That father must have been a wealthy architect before. His son may also lead a prosperous life. Everything was lost after the war. Only sons depend on each other. Nice son. Daily begging for life. When he is full, he accompanies his spiritually fantasized father and imagines a big house in the future with him. Fantasy is in color. But it always looks so gloomy. Once a child found leftover herring fillets from a restaurant. The chef intimately told the child that the stubborn father lived in a fantasy world. It is believed that herring fillets must be eaten raw before they are high-grade. The child does. Both had diarrhea the next day. The adults came over. The child is very weak. I was still telling my father that if I could leave, I would go begging for food. look at the child. Father went out begging for food. Come back and cook outside the scrap car and ask the children to come out to eat. The camera moves to the black and white footage of the child's face, and the frightening weakness on the child's face can be seen. The camera pans out to the abandoned car. Quietly heard the child's weak pain call. The movie waited silently for a few seconds. I realized the child was dead. Suddenly my heart tightened. The scalp and neck were also tight and couldn't breathe at that moment. Death came so naturally and suddenly. So much so that the awe of death is governed by a bystander mentality. Rise to the participant's state of mind. Akira Kurosawa is worthy of being a master. The owner of the jewelry store, transformed by the master, persuaded the father to take the child to see a doctor. The father is stubborn that the child can get better on his own. to help the father bury the child. The boss has no complaints. What to do in any situation. limited ability. But the heart wants to change people's mentality. Silently help people and things around you. And the only thing alive in this gloomy film, in my opinion, is
Akira Kurosawa who committed suicide because of the miserable box-office failure. I think. At that time, the Japanese people understood what the master wanted to express. But refuse to accept reality. It was as if the homeless father and son were living in a fantasy. end up harming the next generation. The government's failure to recognize reality will also end up hurting the next generation. The master was disappointed because the ignorance of the people was not awakened by his portrayal in this film.
This movie is the best of Akira Kurosawa's movies. Nothing to do with box office. It's unreal because there are too many money-right deals at the box office. This is the only film in the entire film history that can interpret reality without the government
