    Mizoguchi used the discrimination and persecution of men in his life to show a microcosm of the entire society at that time. He used this "mirror mirror" to sharply reveal the profound contradictions hidden in such a society, and the rights of women in feudal Japanese men. Being oppressed in the world has nowhere to hide, so that it is physically and mentally disabled. Mizoguchi used them (especially the fate of the prostitutes at the bottom of the dark and humid alleys) to insight, criticize,...

    The long-range overhead shot under the suspension bridge was expelled, and the long-range overhead shot inside the house was inspected. Entering the hall for the first time, shoot Ah Chun through the gauze curtain, and the vain joy does not need to be broken. The themes of Ah Chun's life are "expulsion" and "being inspected."

The still excellent scene management complements the quaint and full of tension soundtrack. The long is the tribulation and the short is the life Tanaka Kinyo is too...

    Mizoguchi Kenji's film language

    Watched Mizoguchi Kenji's "Nishizuru Generation Girl". The biggest impression is that it tells a poignant story through a slowly moving camera.

    Director Mizoguchi, he seemed to be outside, capturing the scene from the perspective of the audience. You don’t need a lot of words, eyes and facial...
