      Akira Kurosawa's Film Analysis Series No. 4 - "Treading the Tiger's Tail"

      The fourth of Kurosawa's film analysis series - "Treading the Tiger's Tail"
      reprinted the expert's comment as follows:
      During the filming of this work, Japan was defeated.
      At that time, the confidence of the Japanese in their own national culture could be said to have fallen to the bottom, and the Western culture brought in by the Americans was also sought after as never before.
      But at this time, Akira Kurosawa was deeply immersed in the unique beauty of Japanese culture...

      The first battle of the samurai era

      The samurai family gradually entered the stage of Japanese history, accompanied by the "Palace Fight" between the Hei clan and the Genji. Then, marking the official arrival of the samurai era was the consolidation of the Kamakura shogunate. This process was accompanied by the internal struggle of the Genji.

      As early as the Heian era, the Emperor of Heaven had given birth to too many children and could not afford to raise them, so they gave them other surnames and let them go out to...

      Not so thought-provoking, the master's pure knowledge and dazzling work

      When watching this movie, what flashed in my mind were the late Kurosawa Akira movies like "Seven Samurai", "Ran" and "Rashomon". The works were shot against the background of being questioned by their own citizens. This is a young man's understanding of his own culture at that time, and then transformed into a film and television work.
            If the film is analyzed from the point of view of the story, it is not difficult to understand, or it has caused the viewers to think more deeply....

      some random thoughts

      The title of the 45-year-old film should be called Birds of Fright, so the translation of Xinyada Zhou Yiyun, walking on the tiger's tail, does not squeak, the title of the film should be derived from Zhou Yi, which means Japanese Noh drama, the porter is a clown, responsible for laughing, and the hero of the Warring States Period. Like the two peasants in the village, the porter who was in charge of laughing was too pitiful. His legs were trembling with fright. I haven't...

      Early works of Akira Kurosawa

      This should be Kurosawa Akira's early work. Neither the length nor the plot of the film is as grand as the later works. The film tells the uneasiness of the seven fugitive masters and servants when passing the level and the composure and wit of the general in the face of danger. There is also an important supporting role in the film is a funny porter. He is in stark contrast to the calm monk. The actors' performances are excellent. The mood of the characters has experienced the anxiety before...

      The porter and Benkei supported the audience, and the Guan Zhu played by Fujita Shin was also very interesting. The ending was great and made me feel like a porter's heroic...

      7. At the end of the peace, Genkuro Yoshitsune was mistakenly subverted the government and the public and fled an anecdote. Reminds me of me reciting the chanting in front of the Temple Mount (in case of any difference). The porter, Yan Yi, is in charge, and the ending is interesting: under the flying clouds in the sky, mortals wake up once, and legends dream forever. Xenia was really startled. Banned for 7 years for "feudal values" during the US...

      6/10. Akira Kurosawa's character as a harlequin in the costume drama is first revealed in the film. The strong is a farmer hired by Yoshitsune. At this time, he has no idea about the identity of the employer. Anzhaiguan has set up a net to arrest Yoshitsune's group of seven. Inadvertently counted the number of monks to be exactly seven, and was shocked. After changing clothes for a while, Benkei blinded the guards, took out a scroll that served as an almshouse and read aloud, glanced strongly...

      Adapted from Kabuki's "Persuading to Enter the Account", the character creation and scenes are full of theatrical stage flavor. It is probably the first period drama of the director of Kurosawa, and he can better understand the expression techniques that integrate Japanese tradition and the West in the later...

    Evaluation action

    The one-hour-long "Tiger's Tail を Step む Male Da" condenses the standard narrative style of Wind Man. Due to economic and technical constraints, there are not many breakthroughs in film techniques, and the use of too many studio scenes makes the film a stage play. means of high-pressure performance. In the opening subtitles of the film, Hayes alternates the cause, development and suspense of events. Just like one sentence:...
