An endless crop of wheat - a peasant biography.

Taking advantage of a rare free afternoon, I turned on the TV and watched this long-awaited masterpiece, a three-and-a-half-hour movie. The first third was indeed a little sleepy. I went to the toilet and came back to watch it. I took a break for a while hahaha so funny! Recruiting soldiers and horses in the front always reminded me of Journey to the West, and when I saw the back, I realized that the drunkard who was not in shape turned out to be the protagonist, and the poster also confirmed this. But after watching the whole film, although the male protagonist is very outstanding, I think the soul of the film lies in the performance and portrayal of the peasant group. The grief and anger at the society's oppression of the peasants through the mouth of the male protagonist are deeply and directly touching the hearts of the people. At the end, everything is calm, looking at the peasants who are transplanting and working, the line of the ronin is actually revealing the background of the peasants, who have suffered hardships and have shallow knowledge, but they will always grow like wheat with stubble. Vitality, the wildfire can't burn out, the spring breeze blows again.

    It seems to be complicated, but in fact, it is going back all the way up Renoir, making the subtraction to the extreme, just like the general sculpting the symmetrical and repeated structure to the point that there is no single cut. Talking about the scene first, then the layout, that is the biggest insult to the film.

    【Great】The shock is breathtaking and beyond words. Akira Kurosawa shot the small-scale battles with an epic feel, and at the same time, the class struggle, the depiction of human nature, etc. For me, it's a "perfect movie" in the true sense of the word.
