Spicy!

First of all, a big thumbs up for this movie. It can be said with certainty that this film is the most ironic film I have ever seen. Coincidentally, the last film that made me feel very "spicy" was also a Japanese film, "Tokyo Story". The Japanese are very good at expressing the sadness of society and family in small things and details.

The story of this film can be said to have achieved full marks, the plot is compact, and the story is very engaging. I can't find any flaws in Shimura Joe's Watanabe. There are a few scenes in this film that are particularly interesting. One is where women come to complain, and the government department pushes the level by level, which fully reflects the government's corruption and incompetence. The other is the words of colleagues in the mourning hall. Some people's human nature will not change. It is really the case.

A master is a master, and every movie that Akira Kurosawa makes can make people think after watching it. This is the meaning that a movie should have. Good movie, worth rewatching!

Ikiru quotes

  • Kanji: Tell me, where do they sell women's stockings?

    Toyo: You want to buy some? Western clothing stores carry them.

  • Toyo: Why did you buy them for me?

    Kanji: Well, yours had holes in them.

    Toyo: Do holes in my stockings make your feet cold?

    Kanji: Don't get me wrong...

    Toyo: I was just kidding. I know you did it out of kindness, but I feel awkward at times like this. That's why I made a bad joke. Forgive me.
