"The Dark Kurosawa"

Kurosawa's name is a guarantee. "Spider's Nest" is called the Japanese version of "Macbeth." Akira Kurosawa has a high interest in adapting Shakespeare's works, but it is not a simple modification, but a deep integration into Japanese culture and human nature. Kurosawa Akira's "Spider's Nest City" is entirely black and white. If you look carefully, there are not many opportunities for white to appear in the whole film, but more large black shadows. The natural scenery and the expressions of the characters in place create the nervous and anxious atmosphere in the movie. "Spider's Nest" can be regarded as the first Mr. Kurosawa movie I have watched. With this film alone, the height of Japanese film creation has made domestic directors look up and sigh.

    The collision between Master Kurosawa and Shakespeare's "Macbeth", a spider city of desire entangles everyone's destiny, a song appears twice, the first time is the opening wedge and the last time is everyone's ending, the cycle of cause and effect There is a certain number. Illusion is the flower of desire, and desire is the fruit of corpse. The people in the illusion have already told the fable and fate. The temptation of the lady is more like the greedy devil in my heart. , the arrow pierces the throat, the rotten flesh falls into the earth, the fate is reincarnated, the truth of the fable has long been unimportant, and the human heart is the fable.

    The process of the wife persuading Mifune to kill the king is quite interesting. First, the wife squatted in the distant view with Sanchuan showing her lower body. When Mifune was persuaded to completely change their positions, Mifune squatted and his wife walked slowly from the distant view and took out poisoned wine from the dark. The picture is like the god of death coming to ask for his life. The prophecies of monsters, the bewitchment of women, and the fears and desires in their hearts are intertwined and devour an upright person.

Throne of Blood quotes

  • Taketori Washizu: I am terribly drunk...

  • Old Ghost Woman: [singing] Men are vain and death is long, And pride dies first within the grave, For hair and nails are growing still, When face and fame are gone, Nothing in this world will save, Or measure up man's actions here, Nor in the next - for there is none, This life must end in fear, Only evil may maintain, An afterlife for those who will, Who love this world - who have no son, To whom ambition calls, Even so - this false fame falls, Death will reign - man dies in vain.
