The stained glass windows in the medieval church let the penetrating sunlight dye the bright colors and warm the hearts of believers

The tram madman comes home at night, the flashlight swaying on his chest penetrates the colorful tram graffiti pasted on the glass of the door frame, and the beam shakes the whole house on the other wall. in the darkness

It is very sad to see a story like a little girl selling matches. In the age of material scarcity, people can live by building the ideal house in their hearts, but in today's spiritual scarcity, what can we rely on to support ourselves?

The little characters in the film are so humble that most of them don't even have their names. They live like dead bodies day after day, but they may not think about why they want to live, nor do they require a meaningful life. For them, a full meal and an indulgence are life. to live is to live

The scene where Katsuko is violated by her uncle is very similar to the scene of my grandmother and my grandfather having an affair in the sorghum field in "Red Sorghum". The bright red color covers the screen and the perpetrators like Katsuko used to be well-behaved. The sensible daughter reminds me of the similar "Jin Funan Murder Case"

The seemingly honest Mr. Shima gets into a fight over the humiliation of his 'tigress' wife by a colleague We can never see all the stories in other people's lives So kindness and understanding are the best things in this world

A man will always attribute his cowardice to the fault of others, like a suicidal clerk who turns his back on the doctor who helped him, even though it was just a stopgap to make him give up the idea of ​​​​being lightly.

The background fabric of the overly vivid sun, clouds and moon resembles the surreal tones unique to Dreams

A wise old man's colored tram wall? Kurosawa's realism always shines with a glimmer of hope. Are those children's graffiti works by Kurosawa who likes to paint? I think he may have thought about putting all his hopes in the reality in his works He can be at peace with what happens, but God has not fulfilled him, but has left him hope

Dodes'ka-den quotes

  • Beggar: Our house ought to be built on a hill. We Japanese used to build houses in valleys and mountain coves. We've always preferred the lowlands.

    Beggar's Son: That's true. I saw pictures of foreign countries. They have their houses in high places, but ours are in low places.

    Beggar: There's a reason for that. There are many earthquakes and typhoons in Japan. Wooden houses in high places are easily shaken by earthquakes and typhoons. So they chose the lowlands to avoid the danger. But that's not the only reason.

    Beggar: [continues] The Japanese prefer soft light to bright sunshine. We like shady places. We like to live in the midst of nature. So we couldn't get used to concrete houses.

    Beggar's Son: That's right. I don't like concrete houses either. They're too cold for me.

    Beggar: But we shouldn't forget one thing. It's true that wooden houses suit the Japanese people. But we mustn't cling to our culture and characteristics if we become weak and lose endurance as a result. By living in houses made of stone, iron, and concrete, foreigners have strengthened their characters and capabilities. Now we're building our own house. We must take our future into consideration. We must think of you, your children, and your grandchildren.

    Beggar's Son: Yes, that's true.

  • Beggar: I've been thinking all evening about the house we're building... Looks like you're sleepy?

    Beggar's Son: No, I'm not sleepy. I'm listening.

    Beggar: The gate comes first. The gate is the face of a house. The face shows the character.

    Beggar's Son: Mm hmm. That's right.

    Beggar: Since we're building a house on a hill, it must be in a European style. How about rococo? Or Spanish style? British style isn't bad either... They're a bit showy. It should be neither too fancy nor too imposing. I want a gate both plain and inviting.
