"Eel": Imamura Shohei's Prajna Heart Sutra~Behind the plain and warm story, is the redemption of people who wander between sociality and animality~Loyalty is the ultimate self-love, love is the ultimate jealousy, and the two extremes need wisdom to smooth out Trauma, eels are passively accepted, but people can actively forgive~ Forgiveness is the highest level of wisdom, that is, King Kong, that is, enlightenment~ It is also the realization of human beings close to the divinity~ Every time you look at it again, it is a repentance of the heart, Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1997 well deserved
