"Only one shot per scene" is an aesthetic principle upheld by Japanese film master Kenji Mizoguchi, which will be imitated by many directors in the future. Mizoguchi's uniqueness lies in the realistic expressiveness of his panoramic long-lens aesthetics, as well as the strong and perspective sense...

It was also in Yuyue, because of the elective course of the Academy of Fine Arts, I watched this "The Story of the Rainy Moon", which was very suitable for the occasion. The rare thing about this movie is that it is one of the Japanese movies with ups and downs, and it also has a relatively...

About Uzumaki Story. After reading it, I was first impressed by the rich oriental mystery. With a little shadow of traditional Japanese Noh drama. The appearance of Miss Ruoxia in it is based on the mask in the Noh drama. Japanese traditions are reflected a lot in the film. This movie by Kenji...

Last night, I spent the night on the sofa watching a Japanese movie from 1953 called "The Story of the Rain Moon".

The historical background of "Story of the Rainy Moon" is the Warring States Period. In a small mountain village near Lake Biwa, there lived Genjuro and his wife Miyagi, as well as his...

Men are obsessed with causing women to suffer, but in the end, women still don't give up. This is very masculine. But we can't blame Mizoguchi Kenji either. After all, the reading book of the same name is adapted from a Chinese novel of Ming and Qing Dynasties (this film is actually a co-editing of...

One more thing I'm sure of, what John said in John Adams, is that the more I see, the less I understand. My head is in a mess right now, and I don't know what to believe. Just as according to Schopenhauer's point of view, character cannot be changed, then the peasants in the story can only be...

The first time I saw Mizoguchi's film, my understanding of him was limited to realism, a one-shot, long-shot female film. In fact, this film didn't tell a big story. It was just two families in troubled times, one man dreaming and the other making money. A strong, capable, gentle and virtuous,...

Black-and-white pictures, paradoxical soundtrack, brutal and crazy soldiers, and charming Miss Wakasa... "The Story of the Rain Moon" directed by Kenji Mizoguchi really made me feel psychologically uncomfortable. I frowned after watching the movie. The story is actually not complicated. Two men who...

Original link Official account: Informal Literature and Art Miscellaneous Notes [ Shadow/"The Story of the Rainy Moon": Nanke Yimeng, I have more pain and regret ]

"Rainbow Story" is a black and white film from the 1950s with a very Japanese visual style. If you like kimonos, geisha, and Noh...

1. The character setting draws on the beauty of pantheism and animism

The core of Japanese national belief is ancestor worship, which is full of reverence for the dead. The belief in ancestral spirits, the immortality of the soul, and the fact that the undead can shelter and protect people in the...
