The ultimate black and white film

The application of light and shadow in the film, the professional and vivid performance of the actors, and the portrayal of the characters in the plot, there is really a lot to learn. In the end, the film leads us to the truth, the good and the beautiful. Even if life is so difficult, it is obvious that everyone is working hard But it doesn't help, just try to live. Even in such poverty, the society still values ​​etiquette, righteousness and shame, and will be ashamed of doing immoral things. Although it is ideal, it is also what we pursue.

In real art, classics are always worth learning. I don’t know why there are such good teaching materials. As a result, many people do not learn it. What they shoot is entertainment and waste of resources. I really think they are geniuses. Even in the midst of helplessness and despair, the director has always kept a shelter. Although the shelter is so fragile, it does not prevent us from holding on to that glimmer of hope. Now that I think about it, I have reverence for doctors, what an important and noble profession, and these noble professions are often accomplished by people of noble character. After watching the movie, I regret that I didn’t become a doctor. For young doctors to experience all kinds of changes in the future, this is not what the director wants us to experience, and hopes that we can become even a little better under the influence of the film, that is also great.

I am also happy with the ending of the movie. Only by going forward and back like this can there be hope for this profession and hope for this society.

    A film full of sympathy and compassion, with many very shocking descriptions of life and death, it can be said to be a superficial reality. A good movie or book can change people, and I believe Redbeard is such a movie. The film has a significant effect on the treatment of the second disease, just like Mifune laughed, he is not sick, but he saw too much truth in the world and scared XD

    This film is Akira Kurosawa's last black-and-white film, adapted from the novel of the same name by Wurou Yamamoto. This film is not a samurai film in the strict sense. Although "Redbeard" is a doctor, he has The temperament of a samurai, like a knight. As a doctor, first of all, he should have a benevolent heart, but after being provoked by a group of hooligans, he decisively used force. The benevolence and chivalry of Red Beard are very similar to the demonstrations and conflicts of the Japanese nationals. Redbeard was also a reformer, transforming the then backward medical system. Red Beard's reform can be seen as a movement of "renovation of the autonomous body" in Japan in the 1960s. The various patients and the harsh living environment that appear in the movie are actually an insinuation of the real society. Red Beard not only "cures diseases", but also "medicates people". It can be said that he was Lu Xun during the shogunate period. He bluntly stated that many diseases are brought about by the poverty and ignorance of society, for which medical skills have no means.

Red Beard quotes

  • Tokubei Izumiya: Pardon my abrupt question, but is it true that doctors play no part in life and death?

    Dr. Kyojô Niide: It seems so.

    Tokubei Izumiya: The people meant to live recover, and those meant to die pass away? Doctors have nothing to do with it?

    Dr. Kyojô Niide: It may mean that.

    Tokubei Izumiya: Bad and good doctors are the same, then? Expensive medicines and those sold in pharmacies are the same? Of course, an eminent doctor like yourself is different, I am sure...

    Dr. Kyojô Niide: Don't make me an exception. Don't hold back. Say what's on your mind.

    Tokubei Izumiya: I'm afraid I have displeased you.

    Dr. Kyojô Niide: Of course not. All doctors have to butter up rich men.

  • Dr. Handayu Mori: [In the background, the women cooks can be heard calling Chobo's name into a well. Tsugawa is confused by this] The cooks are calling Chobo back. There's a belief that if you call into a well, you can call a dying person back. Wells lead to the bottom of the earth.
