1. A good director is the decisive factor for the success of a movie.
An unremarkable story, in the eyes of the present, there is not the slightest advanced technology, no stunts and cool scenes, but Akira Kurosawa not only tells the story fascinating, but also can fully integrate the social and human aspects. , without pretense.
Just like a jar of good old wine, the more you taste, the more delicious it becomes, and the more you indulge in it, the more wonderful it becomes. A good director controls his work as if he controls his own hands. The whole is integrated into one, and one cannot see a single fault, but it is like carefully separating and appreciating it independently.
The same story and plot, in the hands of most modern blockbuster directors, lack the charm of the film itself. Modern directors can add a lot of novelty, special effects, or visual elements, but they still fail to capture the audience in their hearts.
Comparing the hunting gun with the wild dog, the high and the low stand.
2. Japan 60 years ago was so dilapidated, I had to marvel at the 60 years of development.
In the movie, we see the dilapidated urban area, countless homeless people, the living conditions of the people at the bottom, and the police office representing the government's facade is also extremely simple and dilapidated.
There are no houses above three stories in the whole film, the people on the streets are dressed in shabby clothes, the families of criminals live in kennel-like wooden houses, the streets are dusty, the buses are crowded, and everyone is caught in the hot summer. High temperature tormented.
For now, Japan was a slum at that time.
There are no absolute bad guys in this film. Even stealing guns and killing people is forced by life and the bottom society. While killing people, they still have love for their loved ones.
The director tries to reveal here that as long as people are kind, they should stick to themselves in any environment.
I recommend everyone to take a look.
