1. The script is good enough. Today, it seems that the stereotype is hindsight. This is a 1952 movie.
2. Watanabe's three attempts. One is wandering and seeking pleasure, and what you get is nothing but emptiness. The second is close to the young and fresh life, but objectively unable to continue, desperately trying to find the secret of vitality, and only getting the answer of "eating and working". The third is to return to his job, but instead of being a mummy, he is determined to make things happen.
3. The resigned female staff is too cute. Full of energy and honesty. Walk with the wind, eat deliciously, and be as curious as a child. Work as a female worker in a toy factory, make cute bunny toys, and say it's like making friends with babies. Maybe this is the secret of youth.
4. Describes the state of post-war Japan. American-style nightlife, people who worship money in emptiness. There is a situation in which the government agencies play football with each other and take credit for nothing.
5. Repeatedly using strong contrasts to create unfairness in Watanabe.
Below are some interesting screenshots. Several puzzles did not follow the cinematic line and were arranged at the end.
Two people watching a striptease. A novelist's very written expression.
This passage uses the mirror above the piano to delicately show the movements of the player and the two dancers beside him, the two overlapping like a kaleidoscope.
The camera moved down, only to find that it was a mirror
Here is the first appearance of the theme song. The curtain was passed through by the dancer, and then continued to sway by inertia, which was ingeniously matched with the music. Vivid.
Watanabe burst into tears for the first time.
Small details have paved the way for the holes in the female staff's socks in advance.
The happiest time when the two are together. Pay attention to the girl sitting opposite, irrelevant, but placed in the center of the camera. Later, I was attracted by the laughter.
Contrast in a movie theater. A young and healthy life is full of energy, curiosity and enthusiasm. The dying life is lethargic, and it is difficult to cheer up.
Very nice lens. The girl yearns for and belongs to the world over there, but sits here with the old man. The contrast is strong and the picture is harmonious.
People who came to pay their respects spontaneously. The expression is sincere and moving.
I am so saddened by Watanabe's death. It not only slapped the face of the deputy mayor who just made an excuse to belittle Watanabe's achievements, but also paved the way for the later narration of Watanabe's work.
Once again such a shot layout. The two speakers are in front, and the bystander who does not participate in the dialogue is placed a little farther from the center, and the movements are still clear.
Same arrangement. The body of the owner of the portrait is not yet cold, but the little people in front of him are talking about the deceased's life.
Persistence in detail. There are also peasant women who care about Watanabe spontaneously. Also, Kurosawa likes heavy rain very much.
It's also a beautifully balanced lens.
The superposition of multiple spaces, the lights are connected into a prudent line. The two arranged one far and one near.
It's a black and white image, but the lighting is so beautiful. Watanabe's hope for life flickered in his eyes.
This look back is meaningful. I almost didn't realize that this person was the unwilling writer of the night tour at that time.
The end of the film. Watanabe, who enriched his childhood for so many children, must be happy.
Very cute girl. Three views are positive.
The girl asked why she bought her stockings, and the dumb Watanabe bluntly said that your socks have holes... "My socks have holes and your feet won't get cold." The answer is 100%! Watanabe thought that the other party was really angry and was about to explain, but the girl smiled again: "I understand, I'm just shy to say it." This character is simply too good.
A classic scene! bgm is a birthday song. It seems to be celebrating Watanabe's new life. In a flash, the girl who entered the camera turned out to be a young girl.
Also a beautiful lens. Points, lines, planes.
Everyone's mind is hit. Why do you have to find a reason to belittle him? It is because he is not willing to admit that he is not as noble as Watanabe, or that he is not willing to be in the same unit, he is so much better than himself, so he will try his best to bring him down to his own level. It's a pity to be slapped in the face by the only sober: but we can also die at any time. We still haven't done that.
People who gradually spit out the truth after drinking. The situation within the system seems to resonate with people today.
In the narration of the little policeman, Watanabe's dying situation has shaken people's hearts. I couldn't hold back my tears when I saw the picture. On a lonely snowy night, I was swinging in the park that I had worked so hard to build, singing songs from the 1920s. The old man is so romantic.
very profound. The crowd seemed to cheer up and talk about determination, and the majestic and heroic language highlighted the emptiness of their actions. The only awake person did not participate, got up and went to bow down to Watanabe.
