    7/10. The use of fantasy depicts the loss of human nature in real scenes. The beggar father who loves to daydream never goes out to work. He always fantasizes about living happily in a white villa with lush green lawns. He even described the shallow grave of his son who was poisoned by food as a Beautiful swimming pool! The mentally handicapped students play the role of tram drivers every day, rain or shine. The walls are covered with simple crayon drawings. In the film, the imaginative world...

    # ArchivesPhotos of Kurosawa Akira Retrospective# A neglected classic, it is also the first color film of Ze Huang. After watching it, I understand why Ze Huang was hit so hard that he wanted to commit suicide at that time. It was clearly Ze Huang. A masterpiece of realism themes, so delicate and careful, the eight story lines are not contradictory, and finally come together, shining like a star and moon, just like the classic chapter of "Les Miserables", but it was left out by the audience and...

    Akira Kurosawa wanted to seize the first color opportunity to depict all kinds of living beings, and moved the story to a small theater, but finally made a short film collection that mixes surrealism and realism. The tension of a single story is dragged by the overall clutter and dizzy, and the point of view of a piece of shit brings out the tongue-in-cheek attitude of the three aunts and six women in the middle of the open...

    Loss of creativity, unapproved anger, and repeated disappointment with life, each of which is a big problem with no solution, and each is enough for Kurosawa to pick up the...

    The mother and son knelt down and prayed to the Buddha, and the voice became louder and louder. Then the mother looked at the son who was immersed in the fantasy world with tears in his eyes. The windows behind him were covered with all kinds of trams. The shot opens the film, using the camera to illuminate the ruins hidden in the shadows of high-rise buildings. A plant girl who was silent when she was raped, a father and son who lived in a broken car and depended on begging to survive, and a...

    All beings in marginal space

    The marginal characters in the marginal environment, although the reality is abject poverty and suffering, but the sky will light up and the eyes will light up when the fantasy is, and the time of death is the time of freedom, living in a house with a glowing swimming pool. If even the heart dies,...

    go down

    You are not like a human or an animal, only like a plant

    It is best to build a house on a hill. The Japanese have a bad habit of building houses in low-lying places since ancient times.

    Japanese people like soft light, so they like to choose shaded places, and they like to live in the embrace of...

Dodes'ka-den quotes

  • Suicidal Old Man: I used to run a kimono shop. I had a wife and two sons. I had five employees and a servant. I even had two mistresses and lived in luxury. But, after my sons were called up for military service and were killed at the China Front, I lost interest in business. My wife fell sick and died six months later. My house was burnt during an air raid and I lost everything. I had to let my mistresses go. I earned my living by peddling toys. Still, my dead wife and sons appear in my dreams and talk to me every night. They laugh and talk as if they were alive.

    Mr. Tanba: You must be happy during those times.

    Suicidal Old Man: Yes, I am.

    Mr. Tanba: You feel that happiness because you live your life. In other words, they are alive as long as you are alive. Is it all right to kill them by killing yourself?

  • Mr. Tanba: The effect of one drug can be mitigated by another. In medicine, there are laxatives and astringents, digestives and counteractives, things like that.
