    I've finished watching the film and haven't found the red socks... Then I had to ask the people from the raw materials for the answer → [Kitamura, Tama Central Office の police officer, A service]. A passer-by who doesn't even have a line... 嘤夘嘤...

    7.7 When such a beginning appears, the expectations for the follow-up plot of the movie will naturally be greatly increased, as if all the great possibilities of the movie will be presented, but it seems that if there is light, there will be no surprise and shock brought by Peach Blossom Spring, but it is deliberate and...

    The style is obvious, and the cruel world of adults is still the animal paradise of Imamura Shohei. After the official opening of the story, several scenes in the decoration of the barber shop are familiar. Maybe I saw the beginning when I was in class, but I couldn't finish it when I was in school. It must be the result of being unable to study at that age. The ending is sunny and...

    Imamura Shohei's [Eel] is a completely westernized work. The biggest achievement of the film is that it can tell the story calmly between so many symbols that have been set very hard.

Imamura is almost announcing "note that this is a metaphor", which is quite deliberate...

    If I had to use one word to describe the wonderfulness of this movie, it would be "just right", just the right amount of realistic care, just the right amount of surreal language, just the right amount of violence and love, just the right amount of restraint and outburst, just the right amount of Yakusho Koji and Shimizu beauty...

    come back, love story

    I've been guessing all the time, except for the point of releasing the eel, I haven't guessed it once. I'm glad it's like this.
