I don't watch many Kurosawa Akira movies, including "Wild Dog" (1949), "Rashomon" (1950), "Seven Samurai" (1954), "The Stick of the Heart" (1961), "The Sword Through the Heart" (1962) , "Heaven and Hell" (1963), "Chaos" (1985), "Desire to Live" and "Dersu Uzala" have seen clips, "Redbeard" (1965) is the eighth. Because of this, I would also like to call him "Emperor Kurosawa".
"Redbeard" is not as epic as "Seven Samurai", nor is it as perfect in form as "The Stick of Heart", not as profound as "Heaven and Hell" in its profound philosophical thinking about human nature, and lacks the dramatic picture aesthetics of "Ran" and the eternal destiny of mankind. The lamentation is not as good as the "Rashomon"-style mystery and structural innovation. But "Redbeard" shows the poverty, the ignorance, the stuff that modern civilization paints with rouge, the death and the stench that we are ashamed to face, it gives dignity, it makes the real doctor - the real man , it clearly states: Even in the most terrifying times, people can make a difference, people can not only give themselves but also others with dignity, not only can people earn their own three meals a day, but also change Others change the world. He's not like Teacher Keating who was finally forced to leave, or Lancher-esque mythology, Redbeard is a healer, warrior, flexible and knows he's nothing special.
Toshiro Mifune, from a policeman who just entered the industry, a cowardly robber, a mad warrior, a peerless swordsman, a determined entrepreneur, to "Redbeard" finally playing a real person, he is not angry, he is cunning and cunning , He is resolute and decisive, he is kind and amiable, he is a capital person who belongs to the real moral age.
The overall film is also very perfect. Through the experience and observation of capital preservation, many stories of poor people have been dropped, reflecting the past times and the present (those poverty and ignorance, disease and death are still the nightmares of human beings).
Baoben disregarded Red Beard's repeated remarks that he would regret it in the future or that he would continue to stay in the nursing home, which also gave people hope. It is precisely because of such people that it is possible for human beings to survive so many tragic times.
"In the beginning of a person, it's like jade. Both nature and emotion are malleable." When I was a child, I liked the first few sentences of the "New Three Character Classic". "Everyone can be Yao and Shun", but to become "Yao and Shun" depends on the choice of free will and unremitting efforts (courage and wisdom).
