The male eel goes downstream, raising the eggs of the female eel into fish, and the young eels go upstream again, and the cycle starts over and over again. Humans, like animals, exist for the sake of survival, which is somewhat primitive. Only by admitting this, can human beings understand and...

The dilemma similar to "Vengeance is Me" has the diametrically opposite ending. One puts down hatred and obtains self-redemption, while the other picks up revenge but is abandoned by society. It is less sharp and more gentle. This may also be the mentality of Imamura Shohei in his later years. The change. From hiding the past and escaping from the heart to opening up and accepting trust, the relationship between people is finally reconciled through the male protagonist's mentality and the...

Revisiting it more than ten years later, I can't remember the plot at all. The honest man's passion crime, but the story is about the mental journey after the crime. This is very innovative, but the process is a bit...

The warm sketches of Imamura Shohei in his later years are probably the least heavy in the sequence of his works? In fact, there are also many places to think carefully (including the male protagonist killing his wife, the perverted uncle played by Ping Benming, the actions of the female protagonist's ex-boyfriend, and the final group fight), but our tolerance for the three views of the Japanese is too high. Yakusho Koji is so handsome, ideal なおじさん(♡ ὅ ◡ ὅ )ʃ♡ No matter how you dress up and how...

3.5. I'm a little tired of the drama routine of empathizing with things, maybe the academics still like it. Whether this proposition is well shot or not, it's easier to grade at the professional level, but the master is still a textbook after all, and the use of eels in the film is very delicate, There is no excessive stacking. For the so-called meaning and symbolism, some directors use all kinds of abuse, and they can't make it out. At first, I thought this film would be over just so warmly,...

Imamura Changhei used a lot of imagery to express this story from self-imprisonment to self-liberation, such as using eels to express the animal nature of human beings, or using aliens as a metaphor for the closed heart of the hero. The ending is still a bit clear. The moment of breaking the fish tank means the rebirth of the male protagonist, including his recognition of the child in the female protagonist's belly. These behaviors are contrasted with eel...

I want to talk about the ten minute long title
It is said that Sergio's "Once Upon a Time in the West" has the longest movie title in history, and Imamura's "Eel" title is as long as "Once Upon a Time in the West". Yamashita receives a letter revealing that his wife is having an affair. Yamashita returned home quietly, changed his clothes and...

<<Eel>>-----desire, redemption, random thoughts
Men will eventually be redeemed in women, which should be the belief of Director Imamura. I have read many articles about Imamura Shohei, and they all say that his films are female-themed films, but in fact, I think it is more about male concern. And the man who was cared for the most was Hiroji...
