    Toru Takeu's soundtrack is astonishing, with the jumping and bursting of a few notes, the atmosphere is suddenly ready to emerge, and it grabs people's hearts. Kobayashi Masaki's shots are concise, the composition is precise (often with a classical beauty), the movement and rotation of the shots are just right, the switching of slow and slow movements, and the bizarre art set; there are also superb performances by Tatsuya Nakadai, Rentaro Mikuni, and Taka Shimura. ; This movie is really...

    In my mind, the most authentic Japanese-style weird stories should taste like this, surrealist narratives, ukiyo-e-like backgrounds, and pipa music, and the absorption and reference of folk culture to the extreme - four weird stories, just enough for me to drink A...

    4.6 I finally saw it.... The lighting is really powerful like a stage play. The most touching thing is that each story is as moving as it is from the picture book and imagination. Full of magic, tenderness, and humanity. Several scenes can be screenshots and...

    Film critic Mark Kermode called it "the most beautiful Japanese film". It seems to be "Japanese-style" simplicity, but it can be seen that this kind of simplicity can only be created by extreme luxury. The high-level costume scenes (even reminds me of "The Banquet"), the dance-style character gestures, and the interaction of sound and painting all add to the viewing rate of this movie. Putting it in the coordinates of commercial genre films (such as comparing some later Hong Kong Liao Zhai...

    ① Kobayashi Masaki's ukiyo-e-like surreal set is complemented by Takemitsu Toru's extremely stylized soundtrack. ②Although the film uses many western expression techniques, the charm and implication shown are extremely authentic Japanese traditional culture. ③ The way of telling a story is more charming than the story itself: the atmosphere that is both phantasmagoric and real, and both imaginary and real, can push the charm of "strange stories" to the extreme without more...

    Story 1. The audience has just watched the story and doesn't know the genre of the subject. "She is a ghost" can be placed at the end to create a surprising reversal; 2. The audience has already had the expectation of being haunted from the experience of the previous story, so they no longer bother about whether there is a ghost or not. The question of whether the ghost kills him is turned to focus on whether the ghost kills him; three, the existence of a ghost and killing him have already been...

    ghost psychology

    Brunette:

    It seems that there are many stories in China and Japan about samurai and scholars who yearn for the upper class life and abandon their wives to marry the daughters of big families;

    The warriors and scholars here are in a special social class, with a certain status and the potential to...

    The wind is about to stop, the water is about to stop, the people are still

    Lin Yu is as dusty as water in the mountains, like a vast expanse like a dream yarn. Passionate and showy rain, the mountains are broken, climb the sloped building to see the spring flowers.

    Although it is somewhat similar to the Yiren that I have misinterpreted, it is a romantic ice flower...
