    2017BJIFF #51. Mr. Kurosawa's narrow space drama film shooting teaching film. Some modern dramas and movies should really be studied hard. The role of the camera is not just to record the images.

    2017.04.22, // Samsung //. It's too dramatic, and it makes me wonder where is the boundary between drama and film. The actress who plays the proprietress has excellent acting skills. She is an excellent representative of Japanese female ghosts who love madness, such as A Yan, A Qi, and Abe Ding.

    The subject matter and temperament are quite different from most of Kurosawa Akira's works, and the sense of existence is very low. The whole film is filled with gloom, despair and anguish, and the life structure of life among the lowest-level marginal people living in shacks is like ants and mud. In an extreme environment, a large number of lines reflect the character and choices of the characters. The despicable selfishness and numbness seem to be an inevitable imprint under the high pressure...

    It lacks a sense of reality, makes it as exaggerated as a stage play, and some of the lines are still sloppy, which is not in line with the identity of this group of people, and it does not completely deviate from the traces of Russian literature. But Lao Hei's directing skills are just...

    Desperate, lethal disease

    Even if we should have such a spirit—to write a blind man well, we should simply cover our eyes—we cannot fully appreciate the mentality with which a real blind man faces life. But this is more or less a shortcut. Many times, when we experience a hopeless pain, the soul will come out to comfort:...

    Another echo.

    A film based on Gorky's masterpiece, this one echoes the later "Trammania", and Akira Kurosawa seems to have made many similar corresponding films inadvertently. The sadness, despair and pain this film brings to people is a typical example of Akira Kurosawa's films. The film is almost completed in...

The Lower Depths quotes

  • The Actor: I can't risk breathing dust. Doc's orders. "Your bitol organs are poisoned with alcohol."

    Yoshisaburo the Gambler: You mean "vital organs".

    The Actor: That's right, my bitol organs.

    Yoshisaburo the Gambler: It's definitely gone to your tongue. Another six months and you'll have full-blown palsy.

  • Kahei the Pilgrim: [to Tonosama] I've seen two or three lords in my time. But it seems to me, for a lord, your fall from grace landed you flat on your ass.

    [Sutekichi roars with laughter]
