Relive it on the big screen in #SIFF#. The brilliance of the Eastern Lincoln Chef King is still overwhelmed by the sister and mother, two typical Mizoguchi female characters, who sacrificed everything for their families in exchange for the high-spirited revenge of the Chef King, in terms of technique and atmosphere (focus on the opening Night in the Mountains) Although not as good as other Mizoguchi's images, the emotions are very abundant, and the scene where the slaves suffered made the audience sigh. @Shanghai Tianshan Cinema

It is not easy. It is impossible to rely on individuals to change the rigid and interlocking system, and the political speculation is suspended from the beginning to the end, and Mizoguchi cannot provide an appropriate solution. It can only be avoided by returning to nature. The film's criticism of men is extremely in-depth and severe. In order to achieve personal ideals, the father exiled his wife, and the younger sister also sacrificed for her brother. It even swept away the ignorant public carnival of the people.

Masauji Taira: [Speaking to his son Zushio on the verge of being exiled and separated from his family] Zushio, I wonder if you'll become a stubborn man like me. You may be too young to understand, but hear me out anyway. Without mercy, man is like a beast. Even if you are hard on yourself, be merciful to others. Men are created equal. Everyone is entitled to their happiness.
-
Taro: Even children as young as you are sold and bought, treated like animals, and nobody questions it. What a horrible world.
