    Is it healing with tenderness, that is, there is no big pattern in congenital ones. I miss Imamura Shohei at the bottom, but that's okay. Eel = sex is a simile. The only thing I don't understand is that when the street lights in front turn red, and when blood sprays cover the camera, it's almost a pornographic texture. Teacher Imamura should not have a pink complex. ....

    After watching the film, I understood the meaning of the title of the film, which was inexplicable before. The male protagonist is an eel, silent, self-isolating, and he was finally happy when he returned to nature...

    The film embodies a distinct existentialist feature. The film shows the entire process of individual life's continuous resistance to predicament and self-salvation. At the same time, the narrative technique of intertwining realism and fantasy makes this process a more vivid and eye-catching visual interpretation. With this film, Shohei Imamura not only powerfully portrays the national character of Japan, but also tries to provide a way of redemption for all those who have fallen into confusion...

    3.5.1. Shohei Imamura, who wrote about maggots, has a long-lost warmth and self-reflection. 2. A dialogue with an eel is a dialogue with oneself. A person's loneliness is like an eel trapped in a fish tank. At the end of the quarrel, the fish tank is broken, and the loneliness from then on will no longer exist. This is also completed. acceptance of the heroine. 3. Whether it is "The Warm Current under the Red Bridge" or "The Eel", the supporting roles around Koji Yakusho are too warm, which is...

    Forgiveness is the advanced wisdom of human beings. Acceptance is an animal instinct. Shohei Imamura, a film with a soothing soundtrack by Kojimei, mixes human, animal, and even aliens. It is a masterpiece of analysis and multiple metaphors. Worthy of the Venice Golden Lion. Bento is not just a bento but a symbol of receiving love. It's a pity to see the woman shouting and waiting for you to come back. when. A word popped out in my mind. Pull dick...

    The transformation is quite big. From the 14 minutes when the prison staff came out with the eel, it began to become a nerve-wracking comedy (bushi). I like it very much, this kind of nerve. The eel is obsession, himself, and jealousy. Jealousy is the beginning of evil. For eight years, he gave his thoughts to the eel, and the eel became a part of him. When trust collapses, you can start over slowly. If you can't start over, you are not strong enough. When the time comes, you will no longer...

    Let's grill the eel


         The movie's promotional poster is a woman's warm smiling face, which is warm enough, but as Zhang Yuan said: "The world is cruel, and the movie is happy." The film "Eel" tells cruelty in peace.

    some notes

    Imamura Changhei is very good at using some animals as metaphors to symbolize people's behavior, usually animals with scary appearance, such as toads, snakes, eels...
