Generally speaking, considering that crime films are relatively fast-paced, two hours are enough. In today's mass production of large-scale films, one and a half cases are not uncommon. Even so, it will make people feel impatient such as "Ah~ I have already guessed the latter" or "Silly x the police, you know how to delay the time".
In fact, it's all because of the bad reviews of the reasoning drama, dear! ! !
Heaven and Hell sounds like a particularly tense and exciting scene, but it turns out that after waiting for a long time at the train crossing, it was not a high-speed train but a diesel locomotive, which was slow and steady. From the moment the case took place, Kurosawa's trademark panic shot was rarely seen, with everyone holding a bowl of water so flat. Reporting-representing--confrontation--negotiation--response, especially the analysis by the police, I couldn't help but take out a pen and paper, trying to solve the puzzle before the characters on the screen.
So, this is actually another reasoning question. Of course, it's not God's reasoning that all kinds of detectives push to the end, but a collection of clues one by one, and slowly make you feel that you are approaching the correct answer.
But if that's all, you will underestimate Akira Kurosawa, and more gods are still to come.
When all the puzzles were solved, the prisoner was in sight, and the police still did not move, they showed their magic trick: fishing law enforcement! ! ! In the face of justice, whether the public, the media, or the police, their centripetal force is extremely strong, that is, to avenge the parties! This kind of revenge is not something that can be counted in ten or fifteen years. It must be executed! The criminals must be forced to death before they are arrested! ! If there is no evidence of a crime, you must also be arrested for creating evidence! ! !
So the police are the protagonists of this drama.
Tatsuya Nakadai plays the detective, full marks.
ps There is a misunderstanding scene in the last part. If so, the drama will be stronger, although it is bloody.
