A hunter chasing a panther.

One night in 1902, De Su Uzala appeared. It was a night in the jungle, silent, ghostly, and horrible. De Su Uzala walking in the jungle is like a conspiracy under the jungle. Is the black bear approaching, is the rock falling? neither. Desu declared to the street-sleeping detectives like a hero: Me am man. He is short, stocky, like an old man and an elf. He walks in the woods, he has his goal, he is his own leader. After assisting the explorers to inspect the terrain of this area, he said: "I will continue to walk tomorrow. I will leave early in the morning. Go to Dabiko, then Arakhan, and then Fujing. I heard that there is There are many, many black panthers, and deer.” When Captain McVill took his team to meet their people by train, De Su also embarked on his own journey: he was stunned in the kneeless snow. Walking along the ground, towards Conglin.


The hunter's wisdom is in the jungle.

Desu belongs to the jungle. His wisdom is nurtured by the jungle. The wisdom nurtured by the jungle is like the prophet's prophecy. He concluded that there was a cabin nearby, but the cabin really appeared. Because he found that the bark had been cut, the cut bark must be used to build the roof. He speculated that Chinese people passed by here because there were unique Chinese shoe prints on the road. He recognized the footprints and knew that an old man walked here because the young man walked on his toes while the old man walked on his heels. In the face of the heavy snow storm that caused death, he used his wisdom to drive away death. ——In the rare water moorland, wild grass is the warmest life. Desperately mowing the grass before sunset is the breath of life-saving, and the tripod used for detection is the roof that supports life in the cold. In the unexpected river water, the only way to stop the turbulence is to make the trees become Noah's Ark in the water.


It was a clear state of mind.

Naturally it is clear. Desu, which belongs to nature, is also spotless. He repaired the cabin in the forest with bark, climbing up and down. He begged the captain to give him some salt, rice, and matches, and he wanted to wrap them in the bark for passers-by. He asked the captain not to disturb the Chinese who had spent 40 years in contemplation. He knew that the Chinese had a lot of things to think about. The Chinese who was led by his younger brother and his wife were deeply buried in love. De Su knows all this because he has been thinking about his wife and children who died of smallpox. He missed them in his dream, he called them with his inner singing, and he brought them what they needed in his dream. ——In the campfire is burning strong Volga, behind the campfire is his heavy and melancholy face.


The language that always grazes in nature.

He worshiped the sacred nature with the most beautiful lines of poetry: the sun is an important man, and when he dies, all people will die. The moon is also an important man. Water, fire and wind are three powerful men. Although he didn't know what poetry was, the sentences that flowed from his heart had enough reasons to wear the crown of poetry. Because, poetry is the sincere sound of the heart sinking under the throat to pass through the throat. So in his place, the firewood was burning so loudly that it was firewood's nonsense. The boiling water is an angry man. He used the most roaring poems to negotiate with the ghostly tigers who followed-why always follow us, the jungle is so big, is there no room for you to move? As a result, the tiger's footprints no longer appeared around them, and the tiger walked away quietly. Is it because of De Su's majesty as a hunter? no. It's just because De Su grazes language in nature.


Stay away because of awe.

The prey was hovering in front of him, but Desu's muzzle passed by it. It was not the muzzle that betrayed the hunter, but the sight showed the depravity to the hunter. ——Desu’s eyesight has deteriorated, which is no small matter. Conga, the god of the forest, has always entrusted survival to the strong, and De Su is convinced of this. Because he praised the strong in nature so strongly-the sun, moon, water, fire, and wind. He showed the prestige of hunters to play against them. Now, his hunter's majesty collapsed in the face of declining eyesight. In front of the strong, he chose to give up. He knew when to choose to give up, and it was the time. Give up because of awe, and stay away because of awe. He came to the home of the captain living in the city.


Waking up alone in the city.

In the city, at Melville's house, Desso has his back to us, and he lives a life of memories. In front of the fireplace, in the small room, he was silent in his own world. He also talked, nothing more than life in the jungle, towards Maiville's children. The child listened happily, yearning outside the world he lives in. With the help of him from Dessu's hand, he took the leopard claws and other collections that symbolized the hunter's record. De Su also acted, nothing more than living in the jungle. He couldn't understand why people in the city had to pay for burning firewood. When negotiating with the Chai Man, De Su no longer turned his back to us, he was facing the Chai Man, and we saw De Su who had been missing for a long time. However, the bushman in the city is so lonely, no one understands him, no one can understand him, and send Chai Ren to disdain him. He had no choice, he adopted the bushman lifestyle in the city. In order to get firewood, he went to cut down the trees in the park, and he was punished by the city. De Su asked to go home.


Come back in the same vein.

De Su accepted a gift from Melville—a brand new shotgun. However, the shotgun came from the city after all. It does not belong to the jungle. It is also destined to return to the city. The city people took it back in an urban manner. The shotgun was robbed, and De Su took himself forever lying on the jungle land. De Su walked to his own place and stayed there forever. When Maiville went to pay homage to Desu several decades later, he could not find a place to bury Desu. This is inevitable, because the place has been urbanized, the forest has been cut down, and houses are being built in a hurry next to it. Desu is not to be found in the city. He fell asleep peacefully in the mud under the jungle. The city doesn't want to assault him anymore. Except for the special city man who had experienced in the jungle-Maiville, he was deeply attached to Desu in that piece of land that was once a jungle. De Su's story begins again.

    A hunter who leaves the forest is not as good as a underdog. After all, he is the "Emperor", and this kind of back-to-basics story is obviously not enough for him, who once filmed "Chaos" and "Spider Nest City". In addition to depicting the concept of people living with nature that he admires, the film may have another overtone—if the identity of the hunter is replaced by a writer and director. This story has turned into a creator who could have been like a fish in water in a difficult environment. Even if he lost his way or fell into a river, he could always use his hunter's acumen to avoid danger. Once the "fear (tiger)" was driven away, his ability would be sharpened instantly. Decreased (sensibility and creativity), and then into the greenhouse (the officer's house), even if you can get the best shotgun (creative hardware), you can't escape the end of something. Akira Kurosawa, who was in the late stage of creation, did not choose the most familiar subject matter. On the contrary, he opened up such a new hunting ground with fear! From this point of view, Kurosawa Akira, the old hunter, never dared to relax.

    I don't know how much the subtle political relationship between China, the Soviet Union and Japan is reflected in this movie, but regardless of the political background, this is really a classic movie that celebrates interracial friendship. Emperor Kurosawa abandoned Japanese samurai and national themes this time. Facts have proved that the movie is transcendent. Friendship transcends the human emotions of all races, and the movie transcends politics.
