choose how to die

Compared with Akira Kurosawa's other works, I always feel that I can't remember the details of the story of this movie, but I am still full of deep regrets about the fate of the characters~~
When the development of the story makes people feel that Matsunaga will resist violently. The oppression of the underworld will bring a new life, but the reality is far from so beautiful. Although there is resistance at the end of the story - but Matsunaga has become quite powerless, the shock of such death is even stronger, Kurosawa really sees through the cruelty of life.
Let's talk about Matsunaga's death, he was afraid of death, why did he have to fight in the end, he is such a big fool, I want to say, if he stands up for the oppressed, then he is undoubtedly worth everyone Respected man, but this man has only his own poor self-esteem in his brain, and I remember in "The Land of Man" that if contempt for death is not rooted in a recognized sense of responsibility, then such manifestations are only depression or excessive blood. Prosperous performance.
There was nothing in Matsunaga's head—this was the kind of contempt Kurosawa wanted to express.
I like the smile of the doctor at the end very much. Takashi Shimura's smile is very charming. Like "Seven Samurai", it can make people feel that life will be better.
