Kurosawa August

Japan is the initiator of the war and the loser. The Japanese government should be the main responsible party for the war crimes suffered by the Japanese people. It doesn't need to say who the leader of the Japanese government was at that time. He was not democratically elected by the people, so he should bear the main responsibility for this war crime. If it is chosen by the Hitler people, then the war is also chosen by them. Therefore, we must be cautious in democratic elections. Democracy instigated by populism is terrible. The slaughter of civilians is wrong, even under the pretext of armistice and peace. This is true in Nanjing, and so is Nagasaki. You can buy the copyright and make a Nanjing version. There is no need to change the script. Isn’t it a bad idea to use Japanese scripts? But Kurosawa is a master, and the shots are really good. Regarding the favor of rich relatives, in fact, many people feel discouraged. It is also a fact. Just like our reform and opening up, there are relatives from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in the Mainland. That one is not admired in the village. Just like in the movie, the only thing that is annoying is the old man and the child. It can also be understood that the elderly don't care, and the children don't even care. But the middle-aged person is pitiful and feels angry at work. There is a chance to not be angry, but the family rolls his eyes. But it was also changed.

It is said in the movie that time will make people forget this history. I think maybe time really makes people indifferent to this period of history. But it is difficult for people to forget it. National consciousness, political form, history and culture, will keep this memory being recalled. Especially for a relatively single nation and a country born out of a tragic fate. Perhaps there will be a day when people can forget war without a nation.

Everything in the movie is connected. Like a rose in a song that is sung, an ant on the anniversary of a rose. The umbrella in the heavy rain folds like a rose. The scene in the heavy rain, to see this is really like a real scene. The old lady is dedicated.

    As a Chinese, you can see mixed flavors. Regarding this war, even if both sides hold an anti-war attitude, their positions are different, and their feelings are completely different. While emphasizing that they are victims, the Japanese did not reflect on why the disaster caused it. They only saw resentment against the United States and conveyed their apology through the guilt of the American character. There was a sense of national beautification of "I have let go". . Even if he is a master, Kurosawa's vision is limited here. Since murderers don't hold grudges, it's absurd that everyone should forget about it. With the passage of time, those children are now middle-aged, and it is not difficult to understand why Japan is so attached to the United States today, and even regards it as its own protection ally, and constantly whitewashes this war of aggression.

    "August Rhapsody" The impact of the capitalist society where everyone seeks profits on the traditional family concept is woven into the attitudes of Japan and the United States after the atomic bombing incident, and satirizes the Japanese who are good at forgetting history. On the surface, a reconciliation was reached, but the internal injuries were still there. The final piece shows that the piano is no longer what it used to be when it is repaired. People really forget everything, and so fast. This kind of script is a small story based on historical facts. Should I see a good story and shoot again? Or establish what you want to express and then build a story like a math problem? On ordinary life-oriented themes, Akira Kurosawa's signature samurai movies have disappeared. The influence of the theme on the quality of the work is decisive. How important it is for a director to study a theme, it is not a good thing to jump around. Although the lining is very deep, there is no shell, and it belongs to the classic Japanese shadow, which is quiet and has an inner and no appearance. Notes: The cosmopolitans are the ones who dispel their patriotism. The Nazis first occupied their own country.
