      After the rain, there will always be eyes

      "The rain is gurgling, like living by a stream. I would rather it rains every day, thinking that you are not coming because of the rain." I finally finished watching "Little Reunion", and I wrote down this sentence that is remembered by too many people. sentence. My heart is full of grief, and I feel sad for no reason.

      However, the rain always stops.

      There is also the gurgling sound of rain here, and the white and bright raindrops are constantly falling from the green trees,...

      An essay on soothing the mind

      This is a film that pays tribute to Akira Kurosawa. Personally, I think there are still some shortcomings. The tension of the plot is not enough - a swordsman master passed an encounter with a candidate for a trainer, showing that people should not be too sharp, and then he finally did not have untrained. The part of the group scene is not good enough - the small happiness of ordinary people is expressed through the drunken singing of the crowd in the tavern, but there are not...

      "Black Rain"

      The outside world calls [Black Rain] the posthumous work of Hei Zeming. In fact, Lao Hei only wrote the script, but he died after writing it. As a director, it is biased to call it a legacy. [Black Rain] The director is actually Koizumi Yasushi, and those who are familiar with Kurosawa Akira may have some impressions of him. In Akira Kurosawa's last five films ([Shadow Warrior], [Ran], [Dream], [August Rhapsody], [Curling Sunset]), Koizumi was the first assistant director. It is precisely...

      I get it, but I can't let it go

      At the end, the ronin looks at the sea, whether the city lord horseshoe disease is finally met, not because it is not important. "Don't listen to the sound of the forest hitting the leaves, why not roar and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and awn shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? I expected to wake up with the spring breeze, it was slightly cold, but the mountain tops slanted but greeted me. When I look back at the place where it has always been bleak, when I go back, there is no...
