"Wild Dog" truly amazes me, and it is indeed the work of Akira Kurosawa. The editing of this 1949 film is very exciting, and it depicts the social problems of post-war Japan thoroughly. The hot and anxious atmosphere of the whole film makes people feel the same. The lines in it are "Maggots will grow in dirty places", "There are no bad people in the world, only bad environments", "I don't know how many times I have seen a living person become a beast for a very simple reason" "Society is It's not good, but it makes sense now that people who blame society for everything and do bad things are worse".

Girlie Show director: [lazily] Harumi's out today. She's a real problem, that one. One little comment and she takes the day off. She's quiet all right, but the quiet ones are always the most stubborn. And she's sick right now.
Det. Sato: She's sick?
Girlie Show director: With her monthlies, you know. They're always impossible then.
