It was at the time when Nanchang held the "Kurosawa Akira Movie Split Shot Painting Exhibition". Although I have only seen two Kurosawa Akira movies, but I already understood his status as a master, I naturally went to the exhibition. The exhibition mainly displayed the split shot paintings of some of Kurosawa Akira's movies. . That's right, our film emperor is also a painter, and when he conceives the film, he draws some shots, and these drawings usually end up in the film.
What impressed me the most that day was "August Rhapsody".
The film is a bland one in the director's illustrious career, but Kurosawa's iconic picturesque shots and stellar actors make it a good one.
Atomic bombs are terrifying, but they are only known from physics books and history books. How will people who have actually experienced atomic bombs (of course still alive) deal with it? The grandma in the film has created a rational, tough but fragile female image for us. He was a female teacher when he was young, and his husband, who was also a teacher, died in the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, but he was spared because he was in the back mountain at the time. , but also due to premature gray hair due to radiation. She appears in the film at an advanced age and has let go of the events of more than 40 years ago. In the movie, she taught the children to blame the war. She had no hatred for the United States, and criticized the boring scheming of adults, all of which showed the great mind of an educator, but who would have imagined her 45 years ago. sad? In the film, when she learned that she had a brother in the United States, she couldn't remember it first, and after confirming it, she couldn't wait to go to Hawaii, but when she just finished her husband's memorial service, she learned that her brother had passed away The blow was undoubtedly great, and the dusty memories poured out like a flood out of control to the point of insanity. At the end of the film, a heavy rain made her think that the atomic bomb was coming again. She held an umbrella and walked towards Nagasaki against the strong wind. The wind blew the umbrella, but she still walked with difficulty. Although it has been relieved, it is more painful to lose it again.
The adults in the film are cunning but real. As an adult, how Nagasaki was bombed is obviously not more important than making a few more money and improving social status. That's why they concealed that their father was killed by an atomic bomb in order not to destroy their relationship with the rich American. But they are real, and their love for children and mothers is real.
The kids are so cute hahaha, they are innocent and kind as the driving point of the plot. I like the big sister////
Clark, as a standard American, said "I'm sorry" on behalf of all Americans. In the film, when he was an American and grandson of his grandmother and grandmother cordially communicated, I saw the director wish and forgiveness.
The last shot of the whole film is particularly impressive. The grandma who stumbles in the wind and rain and the six people who are chasing behind are constantly switching. The moment the grandma's umbrella is folded, a nursery rhyme is played, and the movie stops abruptly here.
Tragic and sweet.
