Another golden model of the emperor!

An excellent example of a Kurosawa-style film. The plot of the golden classical script, the neat scene segmentation, the minimalist lens, the crazy performance, the connotation of the perfect display.

The mysterious beauty of the East in the first act is incisively and vividly!

The details of drunk guards can be skipped.

1. Promotion: Dreams come true directly. 2. Killing the Lord: Being propelled by prophecy to come true. 3. Succession: If something happens, you don't want him to come true.

The script setting is really master-like, the most classical golden script, this feels so right!

Thinking like this is enough to prove that you are confused by the rumors, and the monsters make you take the initiative to practice the prophecy.

1. The two walked around in the fog. 2. At the end, the three boats were shot wildly by random arrows. The easiest way to deepen the dramatic effect: desperate repetition.

notes:

For example, wherever the lines in the play are in verse, he uses Noh lyrics instead. For the set design, Noh's extremely simplified set was used. In terms of performance, the actors in the film also used Noh's highly stylized body language and performance movements.

Photography borrows the characteristics of large areas of white space in traditional painting to arrange the composition of the film. When shooting, he strictly requires the posture of each character to prevent the balance of the picture from being destroyed.

The women of the Warring States period in Kurosawa's lens - ambitious, active, and provocative - the wife's seemingly trivial words are actually more effective than witches.

The whole film is full of strong ghostly atmosphere and strong sense of stage. Is that fate? It is the desire hidden deep in the human heart.

Akira Kurosawa almost completely materialized Toshiro Mifune in his image world. Toshiro Mifune in Akira Kurosawa's films is not a flesh and blood person, he is more like the consistent core symbol in Akira Kurosawa's films. Every time he stares , anger, and hysteria are just a twilight-like reproduction of the original image of his body. Like Banderas in the early Almodovar films, it refers to a pure and highly concentrated entity of sensuality and desire. The same is true of Toshiro Mifune. His masculinity and sturdy sexiness are the most dazzling ideograms in Akira Kurosawa's video world.
