Tokyo Sonata positive review
2022-04-11 08:01
From the experience and relationship of a family of four, Kurosawa saw the restlessness of the entire Japan in the economic, social and political environment of the new century. The U.S. entry into the military and the analysis of China's energy resources by commentators in the news are all Japanese reactions to the impact of strong external forces. Kiyoshi Kurosawa has accurately hidden these causal fragments in the plot of the film; He also radiated reflections in multiple directions: the conflict between old and new values under international standards, the disregard for life under the mentality of profit-seeking, the sense of loss of the entire nation, and the fragility of ethics and morality. Intertwined, Kurosawa clearly sees these problems, and hopes that the audience can see these problems.
Whether it's a script, directing, acting, art or music, it's all worth pondering. The smooth, humorous, and thoughtful story of the film makes it clear that Kiyoshi Kurosawa is not only a thriller player, but from the extreme personalization to the humor and calmness of "Tokyo sonata", the narrative ability and self-discipline ability, all jump out of the genre film director 's rut.
