Beautiful script! Akira Kurosawa's script is top-notch, and the timing and turning point are exactly the same! There is a plot, but also a humanity. The type of detective puzzle-solving combines the current social status of Japan at that time, and it can be called the sister chapter of "Wild Dog". Wild Dog highlights the chaotic life condition of young retired soldiers after the war. Kurosawa likes that a movie will be made repeatedly with a main line template. Use wonderful stories to contain the core seasoning of a social issue.
The smooth connection of the plot can make the audience forget the time!
A few more words of nonsense that the audience can easily understand can increase the flow of the plot.
The weights on both sides of the protagonist are pushed to the extreme, and the audience is also nervous!
"You're not hired to think!"
Realism is easy to shoot, general plots can be fooled, but serious dramas are difficult to shoot, every plot and every detail must be based on the idea!
The characters are put in such a dilemma that the audience also becomes anxious, which is dramatic.
Every time when the plot comes to a standstill, the phone rings on time, taking the plot to the next stage.
In order to get Mifune to spend 50 million, a very rough and realistic scenario of buying shares in a shoe company was set up.
Using a very real, even close-to-documentary perspective to analyze the case in every link is not a generalization of ordinary movies at all.
Feeling clueless at first, the police meeting felt like the criminals had nowhere to hide.
The villain does not have any portrayal, and only a few of them are very mysterious from beginning to end. There is no sketch that restores him from each chapter like "Wild Dog".
The large-scale description of the people's livelihood and social conditions in the third act is reminiscent of the beginning of the second act of "Wild Dogs".
Finally, see the "Wild Dog"-style twin shadows. Wild dogs, heaven and hell, the real meaning of the title was finally revealed, and there was a sense of enlightenment.
In the end, Mifune can perfectly control all the characters such as your director, samurai, and out-of-this-world coachman, and the talented actor truly lives up to its name.
notes:
All the problems of Akira Kurosawa will eventually rise to social problems. Fortunately, this time the point of view is well hidden. It is packaged in a suspenseful crime film. The story is very arresting and has moral dilemmas.
The fly in the ointment is that the core plot of the film relies on coincidence to promote, and is always a bit reluctant.
Akira Kurosawa's reasoning is first horizontal, and then vertical force, the opening single scene narrative has received countless praises,
It is still a meticulous method of filming. The emperor's filming system is really well-organized and closely matched.
