still shocked

Well-structured, a story about a return, full of oriental charm, I suddenly have a strong interest in ancient Chinese novels, and it is worthy of being my favorite director's teacher. The second time I watch it, except that the narrative of the previous plot may know that the ending will make people feel manipulated, I can still feel the shock in the back, especially when I see something different from the first time at the end. The most sincere feelings are never expressed in words, and action pictures can make you think and ask questions while you are in it. Marvel at Mizoguchi's control of scheduling and depth of field.

    Both men are so obsessed that they forget their wives and children. Women are the poorest, even that female ghost. Even the stories of ghosts still permeate Mizoguchi's fundamental views. Mysterious Eastern culture, long lens and depth of field lens, no wonder foreigners like it. Several scenes of the female ghost are all Noh-style dialogues and performances. Peeping and eavesdropping in the depth-of-field lens. Genjuro wielded a sword to drive away a ghost and was moved.

    [Shanghai Film Festival Screening] 4K restoration version. The struggle of little people to survive in troubled times is both absurd and pitiful as well as deplorable. Ghosts are fascinated, Nanke has a dream, and there is a time to wake up. The tragic female character expresses the meaning of the film's exhortation to men to take good care of their families and not to be greedy and arrogant. The ending is depressing. The female ghost in the film is not scary, but rather pitiful. The camera movement is very prominent, and the long shot at the end of the film has been famous for a long time, and it is really amazing
