The local leader Matsunaga came to Sanada's clinic with a gunshot wound. After being found to have tuberculosis, he left impatiently. After three brief and unpleasant meetings, Matsunaga finally received treatment. In his usual arrogant life, he had to accept the treatment of a quack doctor in his mouth. He seemed to be a bit like Cao Cao and Hua Tuo in the Three Kingdoms, but in this play, the difference is that Hua Tuo is not so gentle. , He looked at this absurd world with a critical eye. He wanted to save, but couldn't find a way. He could only use alcohol to disturb his grief and anger every day. Cao Cao was more forgiving, and he began to choose to examine own life and trying to change it. It was only at this moment that Okamoto arrived in the city.
The rhythm of the guitar song he played when he appeared was bright and sad. This person may have had a sincere side, but it was gradually worn away in the sea of desire. After Okamoto arrived, the club changed. Due to the influence of the past, Matsunaga's subordinates defected one after another, and the cohabiting dancer and money betrayed him silently. With nothing, Matsunaga decided to heal his illness and start over. Unfortunately, there was still a glimmer of hope that he had unfortunately witnessed a change in life, people fell into trouble one after another, and the outcome was obvious at this moment.
In my opinion, "Drinking Angel" has a symbolic meaning. The stinky ditch outside the clinic, the densely populated and lively city, and the world we live in today are in a sense the same. People are engaged in different occupations for their own needs. Most people are unable to extricate themselves from the prosperity and closely follow the pace of the times, and eventually make them die with their sins. Although some people live at the top of the world, they are in an environment of intrigue. In the middle of the loss of nature, there are also people who pursue this but are in a constant state of anxiety. The filth of the stinky ditch is only the surface. The parasites mentioned by Sanada are the problem that society has become. It represents the essence of human pursuit of desire or some other things. The transformation of society cannot be completed by cleaning up, only by eliminating With these greed and confusion, sins can be forgiven.
However, there are very few people who can find their own comfort in this dirty world. In the eyes of most people, the disease is always a tie in the pursuit of desire. We always face it in an irritable but helpless way. The female student in the film is calm and calm in the face of tuberculosis, and is reprimanded by the doctor. After the grievances and the seemingly simple but profound words at the end of the film, I probably thought of what the director vaguely wanted to explain. In the film "Tsubaki Thirteen", the image of the old lady is also the same. After the drastic changes at home, she is still unhurried, showing a huge contrast with Toshiro Mifune's seemingly confident image. Times are changing, and sometimes we get lost in them and lose our original quality. Just like the years of wars in the Edo period, the common people became fearful and cunning, and the ronin became more and more violent and difficult to overcome in the endless killing. Sanada saw through all of this, but he couldn't change it. The people around him and the city's constant changes made him change as well. The savage angel reflected such a rough and kind image more profoundly.
At the end of the film, the little girl said to Sanada, "As long as people have confidence, they are not afraid of anything." Sanada responded that "the most important thing is persistence." Who knows the people in the world, who do not have perseverance. The dead Matsunaga and the thousands of characters in the city are the most impressive thing about persistence. Living in a troubled world, being washed by sin every day, without perseverance and perseverance, how can we continue. Change takes courage, and persistence sometimes takes the same. With the spiritual and material emptiness of post-war Japan, what choices should blind people make in the face of a devastated world?
