The spirit of the craftsman, the sushi of the craftsman

The spirit of the craftsman, the sushi of the craftsman.


In all my knowledge of Japan, apart from the "manner", the "spirit of the craftsman" is the one that impressed me the most.

"Shiren" means "craftsman" in Japanese. In ancient times, the social status of craftsmen was relatively low. The class division of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was not only in our country, but also in Japan, which also belonged to the big Confucian cultural circle.

The...

Caligari

Note: The original text was presented as a topic, and its text is now posted here.



Expressionism was originally a dedicated term for art history and criticism, meaning that it no longer regards nature as the primary purpose of art, and expressing emotions and feelings with lines, shapes and colors as the sole purpose of art. Expressionist films originated in Germany in 1920. The actors, objects, and set designs in such films are all used to convey emotions and mental states,...

The most moving thing is...

reality.

What Dolan photographed this time is a life that everyone is experiencing firsthand.

"Mommy", although the simple movie name does not sound like the first film "I Killed My Mom", it has a more real temperature.

This strong and stubborn mom is a collection of every mother. Behind her love for Steve, there is the shadow of the greatest sincere emotion in the world.

You and I are not necessarily Steve, but I must be like him, a child who is not good enough. We...

This is not a ghost story, but a sad love story

In addition to the horrible atmosphere that won in the first season, my personal favorite is actually its narrative style.

The second season uses a narrator to tell the story. The first to the fourth episodes are dull and lengthy flat and straightforward. Although they are laid out, they are really boring; the fifth episode began to enter the right track and enter the jump of thoughts. Net-like narrative, the layout of the first four episodes is also...

Comment on the film "The Americans"-a beautiful scenery, a warm feeling

I have seen it many times in a short period of time. I don't know where to start, but I always feel that maybe it is the kind of warmth in this movie that touches me deeply.
　　George Clooney's still old and still masculine taste has been so gorgeously displayed in this film. He played a low-key and silent professional killer, because of chance, came to such a secluded and beautiful Italian town. Driving an old fiat, life was painful and peaceful. This man is lonely, although by virtue of...

The blue bracelet in the nightmare-"Brick"

That night I slept tiredly in my clothes and then awake at four in the morning. I got up and watched this independent movie shown on Sundance that I had been waiting for for a while. Then I was a little numb, a little frightened, and crawled back to bed again to fall asleep. But there were constant nightmares, and I opened my eyes half-awake constantly, but saw more exits on the wall like a passage. Some people threw the corpse by my side, the smell of carrion, all kinds of bugs...

Just like

A woman who has no personal life other than work. The hospital is her battlefield, her paradise, everything she has. In contrast to her lonely life, she has nothing to call her life of life. The hospital is her paradise—Just like heaven.
A bachelor with a dead wife, looking for a new apartment just to bury himself in a comfortable sofa and drink cans after cans of beer. Looking at the old video, he can paralyze himself in his thoughts and it is his heaven-Just like heaven.
These...

the truth! the truth!

This film reminds me of Grebavica, the song of travel translated from Taiwan a few years ago. Not to mention the plot, you can check it online. Grbavica and Incendies have one thing in common. They all want to tell us: Exploring the truth, especially letting the person discover the truth and face the truth, is a good way to treat trauma and continue to live.
　　
I have reservations about this argument.
　　
If the society in which the person lives cannot tolerate the...

Childlike looking at the world

The director of the movie "Matilda" looked back at the world from the perspective of children with a childlike innocence.

The angle of view focused on the little girl Matilda.

"We have a son and a trouble." Matilda is the trouble that parents call.

My father used deception to do a used car business. My mother thought it was enough for a woman to dress herself beautifully. Parents and brothers both enjoyed watching TV as their greatest...

Picking lotus flowers in Nantang

Picking lotus in autumn in Nantang. The

lotus is over the head.

Bow your head and make lotus seeds. The

lotus seeds are as clear as water. I

accidentally think of the sentences in the Xizhou song. The phonology is clear. It is a smart and good word.

Bow your head. Fingers are hiding in your coat pockets. It has just rained. The road is wet and flat. On the

deep asphalt road, every stone can be seen clearly. The...

Festival movie

Seeing the fragments of this movie at the SK exhibition in London, a few fragments are too much to look at. I came back to look for it, the shot was great. Whether it is plot, photography, rhythm, or acting, it is impeccable from today's eyes. At the end of the movie, many actors used large fonts to mark their names. Now, except for the big stars, everyone else is probably one of the long list.

In addition to the glory of the military, this film can be used as a good annotation for...

Be the mother's true color, kill the Quartet

Before we start to pull the calf, let's take a look at several sets of data given by Baidu Baike:

Production cost: US$18.5 million, North American box office: US$85.16 million, Global box office: US$131 million. .

It was 1986 and "Alien 2" was released.

With the foreshadowing of the first part, the second part is justified. That era was the era of explosion of ideas. The film montage method of shooting miniatures became the shooting method used by all film directors of...

I don’t know what Quentin is not Quentin, I just know it’s a good movie

Whatever has been raised to the perspective of human nature has become endowed with divinity.

Schultz is a good person. When he rescues Jiang Ge out of self-interest considerations, he escapes the boundaries of class. By the way, he is stunned and has not recovered. The whip was imprisoned and forgot to resist the slaves. Freedom was a handy thing, which paved the way for the rescue of Jiang Ge in the later stage. He despised slavery as the slave owner. The inhumane life and...

Is this man active or passive?

Laura Mulvey believes that in classic Hollywood narratives, men are the active agents who promote the narrative and create incidents, while women are the passive ones who are watched and outside the narrative. In her famous "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Movie", Hitchcock's "Rear Window" was mentioned as an example.

But what active power does this man in "Rear Window" have? All his power seems to be just the power of seeing. His body and actions are severely restricted. When...

Fitzgerald's South and David Fincher's New Orleans

   Many Fitzgerald's novels have been adapted into movies. "The curious case of Benjamin Button" is the latest one. However, if you have seen the original work, you will probably be exclaimed about the vast area covered by the scalpel in the hand of the screenwriter. The movie is like a person with a full-body plastic surgery. Apart from the name and the most core premise, everything else is almost unknown. That was originally just a short story written by Fitzgerald for Collier...
