Akira Kurosawa likes to make movies about doctors, the previous "Drunken Angel" and the later famous "Red Beard". As a very idealistic one in the early days, Kyoji Fujisaki, the representative of the angel in white, was unfortunately infected with syphilis during a field operation. In order not to delay the happiness of his fiancée's life, he reluctantly refused his persistent pursuit, and persuaded the patient who infected him back then. Adhering to the treatment and control of pregnancy, professional attitude and morality are highly moved around, the single mother and trainee nurse who was not enterprising before obtained the license, and fell in love with Kyouji. In short, the theme is very high, and the special scene is how Gongji treats men's desires - in the early years, he regarded desires as pure, waiting to get married with his fiancée and then enjoying it, and then he would delay it when he went to the battlefield. , never thought of getting venereal diseases, professional ethics made him completely cut off his physical needs, very inhumane, but he can't be like the soldier who infected himself - irresponsibly dating women and trying to have children (of course, the film also popular science How terrible it is for a syphilis to give birth). Kyouji chose to transform his desire into medical excellence, and maintained a spiritual love with a nurse who liked him. Well, writing this, I feel that such a character is simply a saint. In fact, it was also mentioned in the film that Gong Er is the incarnation of a saint. There are many reasons for unsatisfied sexual desire, but there is no perfect solution, only to endure it. This is the price of human beings as social animals. Just like Kyouji, in the long night that no one else can see, only myself and myself are dueling.
