Five years of sharpening a sword, calm but not dull, literary but not obscure, behind the simple story is a collision between the city and nature. The unique color application is full of film texture and reflects the beauty of the original ecology. The old hunter brings the most sincere help to others, symbolizing the most real nature and the most primitive kindness of human nature. Witness the sublime theme of the parting gift of friendship, followed by contemplation with endless irony of reality.

#dersu·uzala# Kurosawa Akira's change of warmth and frequent serious thinking! The old Del Sue lost his eyesight, he probably thought it was a punishment for hurting a tiger in the woods, when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of a novel that had a great influence on me, Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", the beginning of the old man Telling children about some people's eyesight damage caused by catching sea turtles for many years (if I remember correctly), I was instantly moved by an inexplicable feeling! !

I prefer the purity of the first part to the second part. Compared with the early black and white films, the meaning of color given by Akira Kurosawa is to highlight the "charm" of nature, whether it is the drifting of the white snowstorm or the dim mode of the red sunset, they are all impressive. In addition, Akira Kurosawa is very good at making the viewer fall into a kind of "stare" through long lenses,

For Del Su, the human heart is much more dangerous than nature. It has experienced blizzards, floods and tigers, but eventually died of human beings. Perhaps the director arrived in the ice and snow, and the camera and rhythm also slowed down. It was very Russian, and the director was preparing before taking off. The last part I revisited is a bit reluctant, and there will be a period later.

    A hunter who leaves the forest is not as good as a underdog. After all, he is the "Emperor", and this kind of back-to-basics story is obviously not enough for him, who once filmed "Chaos" and "Spider Nest City". In addition to depicting the concept of people living with nature that he admires, the film may have another overtone—if the identity of the hunter is replaced by a writer and director. This story has turned into a creator who could have been like a fish in water in a difficult environment. Even if he lost his way or fell into a river, he could always use his hunter's acumen to avoid danger. Once the "fear (tiger)" was driven away, his ability would be sharpened instantly. Decreased (sensibility and creativity), and then into the greenhouse (the officer's house), even if you can get the best shotgun (creative hardware), you can't escape the end of something. Akira Kurosawa, who was in the late stage of creation, did not choose the most familiar subject matter. On the contrary, he opened up such a new hunting ground with fear! From this point of view, Kurosawa Akira, the old hunter, never dared to relax.
