    In the place where the crows are frightened, the snow is white

    It can be almost concluded that Imamura Shohei said, "I will write maggots until I die" to understand his films. There are many animals interspersed in the film, snakes, rats, fish, owls... each has its own meaning. Snakes and fish have a strong meaning of sex and reproduction, and the scenes of...

    "Narayama Festival Kao" and Imamura Shohei: The Balance of People

    After commenting on the new film and other good films that are not painful and itchy for a long time, I finally wrote a highlight. Because I plan to comment on "Thailand" and "The Grandmaster" in a while, so I'm starting to write old films now. Shohei Imamura's "Narayama Festival Exam" is a very...

    Reflections on "The Examination of the Narayama Festival"

    I finally saw the "maggots" that Director Shohei Imamura said today. The so-called maggots refer not only to people at the bottom, but also to the most primitive desires. I see two desires in this film - survival and sexuality, which are the most primitive and instinctive desires. What is...

    snake eat mouse mouse eat snake

    The snake represents the "owner" here, and the young man is called "the mouse". In the play, the mouse appears to eat a hibernating snake, and this hibernating snake I think is Aling Po. After Aling Po goes up the mountain, the camera turns. To a hibernating snake. It is an extremely rare...

    Poverty is a bottomless pit

    The poorer you are, the poorer you are, and the poorer you are. People are like animals without restraint. This reminds me of the incident in Fengxian. If I don't interfere, it will end like this sooner or later. Why are all the boys killed and not the girls? Because this labor force is enough to...

    I don't know where I came from in life, what is the way back?

    Life does not know where to come, what is the way back? A good movie has a thousand words, but I don't know where to start! Imamura Shohei's "Narayama Festival Kao" is undoubtedly worthy of this honor. In the movie, life and death are equally great, connecting the tenacious survival instinct of...

    without

    Whether it is promiscuity with people or bestiality with dogs, it is the desire for "sex" in human nature. This natural and primitive desire exists objectively, even if it seems so dirty and ugly from the current point of view. All kinds of behaviors, including abandoning babies, abandoning old...

    Research on Narayama Festival

    In extreme poverty, all morality and decency are gone, only the desire to survive. One is to feed the stomach, and the other is to reproduce.

    There are three scenes in the movie that made a deep impression. First, A Ling knocked off her teeth and showed off to everyone. In this environment, aliens...
