Of course, Dr. Sansho is just a slave owner, without any human touch, and using him as a title is just a title. The hateful thing is the name of the minister behind him, or the system.

Kenji Mizoguchi's "Doctor Sansho" is one of the best in Japanese film history, and the film is rarely named after its villain, rather than any sympathetic character. The mustache slave owner Sanjiao is at the heart of the film's two journeys—one toward him and one...

-.5, there are a lot of good plays, but...sad. There are basically no more Japanese-style houses with mountains and peaks (the place where the main plot takes place in the previous works). Due to the scheduling needs of a larger narrative format and a more open scene space, the aesthetic form of the images has been dismembered to a certain extent. The ambiguous distance between the camera and the characters no longer exists, resulting in the latter entering the melodramatic framework without reservation in the explicit theatrical performance and being fully manipulated by the screenwriter. Although the narrative based on the excellent mirror control ability is still smooth, the emotional And expressions are completely superficial. There is still a gap between Imamura Changhei, at least he has a sense of joking, so that the thinking of the film will not become so narrow and monotonous.

It is disappointing that the omitted editing in many places makes the film lose time. We have no way of knowing why Dr. Sanjiao has come to this point, nor does he understand that the younger sister, who seems to be purely to reflect the sacrifice of women, is obsessed with finding her mother. In addition, the role of the male protagonist does not stand up. In the narration, it is natural to omit growing up and cannot explain the sudden change when he and his sister went up the mountain to abandon the patient. The repetition of being embraced by farmers in the picture does not reflect the concept of his father, but more like a whim. All people's decisions seem to be driven by extraneous plot-driven needs rather than internalized situations. In the beginning part, the whole family travels through mountains and rivers is very exciting, especially the reeds moving with the wind when we travel through the fields completely overshadow the people who are almost invisible. The whole film has already written the tone of innocent beauty and dark destiny.
