This film reflects the dark society scene at the end of the Heian era with the desolate situation of a family being forced to be separated and broken in a chaotic world. Mizoguchi Kenji expressed the theme of freedom and equality in "Sansho Doctor". The plot mainly revolves around how the protagonist is imprisoned, how to get rid of slavery and rescue many suffering people. The character's destiny and struggle character reflect the tenacity of life and the dignity of human nature. The power of family affection contained in it is extremely powerful and touching. At the end of the film, the scene where the chef king and his mother finally reunite after going through hardships is even more tear-jerking.

If the memory is correct, there should be a lot of changes to the original work. I vaguely remember that Mizoguchi actually wanted to film Dr. Sanjiao's change of heart. This is a good expectation, but it will be filmed as the revenge of the chef king? Not bad either. I especially like the description of the episode on the eve of the abduction and trafficking of the original, and the highlights of the movie are scattered elsewhere. The transformation of the Chef King is indeed a bit abrupt. Mizoguchi movie pictures are so beautiful Japanese. The birth of tragedy is never just a cause.

Zushiô: [quoting his father] "Without mercy, man is not a human being."

Masauji Taira: [Speaking to his son Zushio on the verge of being exiled and separated from his family] Zushio, I wonder if you'll become a stubborn man like me. You may be too young to understand, but hear me out anyway. Without mercy, man is like a beast. Even if you are hard on yourself, be merciful to others. Men are created equal. Everyone is entitled to their happiness.

The true Heian era is not only about the elegance of the nobility, but also the suffering of the people at the bottom

"A person without sympathy is not a human being. He must be strict with himself and be lenient toward others. Everyone is equal and has the right to pursue happiness."
