The filming of "Kaidan" was done in a studio, but the stage effect is very consistent with the characteristics of the Japanese folk stage art Kabuki, or it is more appropriate to say that the filmed Kabuki is more appropriate, and the narration form of the film is even more suitable. Kabuki style. Like the snowstorm scene in "Snow Maiden" and the beautiful scene where the Snow Maiden turns into a virtuous woman in the village, it is an expressionist style that combines the characteristics of traditional Japanese painting Ukiyo-e, which is very Japanese nationality and film expressiveness. The eyes appearing in the snow dome of "Snow Girl" resemble the scene in Doctor Edward's hypnotic dream in "Doctor Edward". The spatial treatment of Japanese ancient houses in "Black Hair" plays a very prominent role in creating atmosphere, expressing expressions, and shaping characters.
"Kaidan" uses a lot of Noh music, and Noh music and the whole movie of "Kaidan" undoubtedly have a theme fit. As a horror film, "Kaidan" has few terrifying and bloody pictures and strong dramatic conflicts. The steady and calm narration makes the film show a wonderful balance, which is a mysterious, profound and ethereal beauty that appeals to sensory experience. It can be said that the perfect combination of "Kaidan" and the concept of Noh music provides a good example for the internalization of traditional drama in screen images and the rebirth of traditional national aesthetics in contemporary popular art  .

    If you want to make an analogy, "Strange Talk" should deal with the Chinese "Liao Zhai", which is about strange power and chaos. It is composed of four short stories, "Black Hair", "Snow Girl", "Fang Yi without Ears", and "In the Tea Bowl". 3 hours of movie (actually it didn't feel long at all, I thought I watched 2 hours because it was too good). It is impossible to describe the feeling of the film, because although the shooting method is constrained by the times, it has a beauty that cannot be conveyed by modern times, and a horror that is at your fingertips. "Black Hair" uses a very simple set with slow camera moves to create a spooky and scary atmosphere; "Snow Girl"'s environment, lighting, colors, and the way it shows the beauty and horror of female ghosts, it can be said that "A Chinese Ghost Story" "It has its own rhythm. And my favorite "Wu Er Fang Yi", I actually felt very boring at the beginning, because it took a long time to sing. But looking at the back, I found that this form of performance fully supports the sense of formality and tragic sense of Heshi who exists as an object in this story, which is beyond words! "In the Tea Bowl" is slightly worse, but it ends with a looping story, which brings endless aftertaste to the film as a whole.

    Kobayashi Masaki added a strong period drama feature to the film. Across the tatami is the porch, and the clogs are placed on the stone in a calm and orderly manner, as if time has been fixed in a silent temple. This kind of picture made me play several times, thinking of Duck Changming's sudden death and sudden birth. In the movie, Fangyi also completed the gender conversion. I wonder if Kobayashi Masaki thinks that men can sing the sadness and tragicness of the battle of Tanpo better.
