    I think the greatest thing about Akira Kurosawa is that his works are first and foremost good-looking. On this basis, they will make people think, rather than being deliberately deep. This ill-mannered attitude is the real master...

    So classic, so pretty. But the archive's subtitles are as bad as Francesca. . . Not only the timeline, but also the translation quality is outrageous and...

    Akira Kurosawa, who is always anti-type, is simply two films. The first half is about the male protagonist's personal choice of desire and morality to promote the narrative, and the second half is a confrontation scene of police and criminal detection. It is the audio-visual language scheduling of the indoor drama and the in-depth portrayal of the social nature of the group portraits. The inescapable hell at the end has a profound...

    The film is not like the production of one person, the structure has the traces of being torn, and the taste of multiple hearts is mixed. Through the pre-screening explanation in the archive, I learned some behind-the-scenes stories of the creation. The first half of the film is a closed space narrative. Considering the time it takes to complete the film, this grandfather-like performance deserves endless applause. In the middle part, it turns to the general plot of a police propaganda film....

    Mifune has been finalized, and the 12-year-old Tatsuya Nakadai took control of the situation as soon as he appeared on the stage, sigh. Group play templates, scheduling teaching materials, where there is a kingdom of heaven in life, it's all hell. In the end, Yamazaki Prison faced Toshiro Mifune, and suddenly realized that it was the last scene of Hiroeda and the third suspect. @...

    Two hours in two parts. The first half of the first hour is "Master Stage Scheduling Example", and the second half is "Practice Police Officers from Getting Started to Solving Cases". The second half is switched to the "Hitchcock-style suspense detective" mode, following the map to find out. The master has always been strict with himself, and even the play is one level higher than the average director. At the beginning of the chapter, the moral dilemma of "saving money and life" is pointed out,...

    Schubert's "Trout" was quoted, like Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, Uchida Hyakuen, who were Kurosawa's favorite artists. The use of light is the highlight. The neighborhoods populated by drug addicts or people with lung diseases (?) are very interesting. Yamazaki Nu's performance in just a few minutes is already very good. The story is gripping. The blush was...

    From the point of view of the kingdom of heaven, it is "the one who has attained the Way will help more", and from the perspective of hell, it is an inescapable despair. Is Police Fishing Enforcement Really Ethical? The emperor's filming is so charming even across the axis! In the future, all the movies that say they are "stage play style" should use the first half of it as an example, okay? It's even more handsome than "Gun Fire"! At the end, I lost the last good impression of Hirokazu...

    It can be seen that the two consecutive Palme d'Or winners have drawn nutrients from this film. Even Rohr Wacher's "Happy...

    9.0/10. ①The male protagonist is an idealistic corporate executive. In the first paragraph, the kidnapper mistakenly took the driver's child as his child, but still specified that he wanted his ransom. Once he pays this huge ransom he will go bankrupt. He struggled repeatedly between dating and not dating, and finally made it. In the latter part, the police tried their best to hunt down the kidnapper and finally succeeded in returning the ransom to the male lead. ②The deep focus and long-lens...

    Looks like a horrible anticlimax, in fact, he has already said what he thought

    The extremely powerful scene scheduling makes the movie extremely watchable. It's a pity that the plot turned out to be anticlimactic, and the theme of heaven and hell was only clicked at the end.

    This is not the case.

    The heaven and hell show that the rich are extremely responsible and can be said...

    La descente aux enfers en 3 actes

    Le ciel est tout en haut .

    La 2e partie consacrée à l'enquête et à la traque épouse un registre policier agissant jalonné de plans courts par un montage dynamique afin de faire monter la nervosité criante et la tension oppressante.

    La 3e partie renverse le regard en plaçant au centre du focus le...

    Ginjirô Takeuchi - Medical Intern: You think I'm shaking out of fear, but I'm not! It's just the physiological reaction from being in solitary too long. Just leaving the cell makes me shake. I'm not afraid of death. I don't care if I go to hell. My life has been hell since the day I was born.

    [laughs]

    Ginjirô Takeuchi - Medical Intern: But if I had to go to heaven, then I'd really start to tremble.
