Watching Notes

The Passion of Murakami, the journey to find a gun to witness the devastated society after the war, is it really that easy to say 'I want to be a good person' after experiencing a brutal war? Isn't the reason why Yuzuo makes Murakami brooding because the former is the latter's post-war (or pre-war?) nemesis (both served during the war)? Therefore, Murakami who wants to be a 'good person' must cross the hurdle of Yuzuo... Looking at the story of Kurosawa Tianwang's gun search, there is probably a metaphor of how Japan reflects and walks out of the post-war period, and is obsessed with 'guns' I lost the 'Murakami' and the 'It's not yours could be a Browning' class leader seems to have only got half of the causal chain right. The long montage of Murakami's undercover witness of the world's various states should not be too exciting. You can almost see the feeling of sunglasses in several moments, but the scene of the captain discovering Yuzuo's hideout after the tension builds up in the middle and back sections is Hitchcock. The final confrontation is, of course, the classic spaghetti western style - in other words, the contribution of the king to the world's film history. And a PTSD detective feels tense at the moment, no one is more perfect than Toshiro Mifune's interpretation

Not as good as Akira Kurosawa's best ones, but not bad for such an old movie. The part of "Looking for a Gun" is a little procrastinated, and the accusation of social problems is too direct. The three views are of course good, but it makes people feel that the preaching is not good. In addition, Mifune Toshiro's contemporary style is not as good as the ancient costume style.
